Closing the Bones
TRANSITION WITH RESTORATION
The Science Behind the Treatment
This deeply nurturing treatment has been practised and shared through generations in many different cultures around the world.
Traditionally, it was a ritual that symbolished a period of transition finally coming to an end and the birth of a new chapter in life - and this idea is carried forward in the practise of the treatment today.
Closing the Bones Massages takes gentle techniques, soft wrapping, and delicate, grounding touch to support your comfort and relaxation. Whilst it was traditionally utilised to help women after childbirth, it is also greatly valued by many others who are suffering with difficult life changes or overwhelm.
What to Expect
-
We will start our session with a calm conversation about how this treatment can support you, and what you need help with.
-
I will then invite you to get comfortable in a peaceful, safe space with enough time to relax into the treatment.
-
A gentle massage and soft, grounding touch are applied to aid the body with muscle softening and release of tension.
-
Soft cloth or a shawl are delicately wrapped around certain areas of your body which creates a sense of nurture and containment.
-
You can now relax and rest whilst gently wrapped, so you can feel held, supported and still.
-
The wraps are then safely removed, so you can slowly come back to the room. I will then offer you aftercare advice to continue the restorative experience of the massage.

Why Choose Root & Rise?
Because I know what it feels like to lose yourself.
To keep pushing through exhaustion. To feel disconnected from your body. To carry grief, hormonal shifts, stress, burnout, or the invisible weight that midlife can bring. I also know what it feels like to slowly come back to yourself.
Root & Rise is being created as a space where women can finally exhale. A place for deep rest, nervous system support, healing, and reconnection - where you don’t have to explain everything you’re carrying. Here, your body gets to feel safe again.
This is so much more than surface level self care.
It is the deep sigh your body has been craving.
“Nicole is a very soothing, very calming person!”

Holly described feeling grounded by the treatments, as if she was receiving a hug, and felt soothed and secured throughout all of her treatments.
