TESTIMONIALS:
A student speaks about her experience in the Bodywork for the New Mother class: “Warmth. Safety. Belonging. Wholeness. These sensations and emotions flooded through me as I experienced the “closing of the bones” ceremony. Healing. Completeness. Power. Trust. The emotions enveloped me like the blanket that wrapped tightly around me; I was cocooned with the unity of sisterhood that we all share. The women lifted me gently in the blanket womb and began rocking me. I could feel their collective strength as they rocked reassuringly. Carrying me. Sharing their united womanhood and sealing it up inside me. When the blanket cocoon was opened I had metamorphasized. I came out a stronger woman.” M.Y. (Maternity Massage student)
