Closing Ceremony

1:1 Closing Ceremony Apprenticeship

Remember the art of holding women through life’s sacred thresholds

A 3-Day immersion into Soul-Led Rites of Passage
Held in person at my beautiful home in Newquay, Cornwall

THE RITUAL : CLOSING CEREMONY

This is not a traditional "Closing of the Bones." I am a white woman from Celtic lands. This ritual did not come to me through a specific lineage, though I acknowledge and bow deeply to the traditions and peoples who carry this wisdom. What I offer is through soul remembrance - a thread from the ancestral field that asked to be woven through my hands. Across cultures and centuries, women have always been wrapped, enclosed and held after major life transitions.

This ritual honours that universal and timeless need. This is not replication. This is remembrance. The Closing Ceremony I offer draws from ancient midwifery gnosis - from womb to tomb - from the wrapping of the dead, cocooning the grieving, swaddling the mother after birth.

You will learn to hold space for grief, postpartum, endings, identity shifts, creative cycles and rebirths. Through creating a ceremonial container, devotional wrapping, and presence you will guide a woman home to herself.

RITES OF PASSAGE

Rites of passage honour the meaningful transitions of our lives - moments when we move from one stage of identity into another. These ceremonies help us integrate change, process transformation and feel deeply seen.

Historically, rites of passage were woven into community life. Cultures around the world honoured birth, puberty, marriage, grief, initiation and death with sacred ceremony. These rituals served profound emotional, psychological and spiritual functions - guiding people through the liminal space where one self dissolves and another emerges.

Today, many of these rites have been lost. We often navigate major transitions in isolation, without ceremony, without support. This can leave us feeling unanchored, incomplete or disconnected from our deeper rhythms and ancestral wisdom.

This Closing Ceremony is a ritual that restores that sacred function - a way to honour life’s thresholds, be witnessed and returned to centre.

Restoring Rites of Passage

1:1 APPRENTICESHIP

This is an intimate ceremonial container crafted just for you. You are the temple. My full presence is devoted to you throughout the entire immersion.

You will receive:

  • Bespoke guidance tailored to your soul path and experience

  • Hands-on practice with personal feedback

  • Immersive ritual experiences where you are both practitioner and initiate

  • Time for integration, reflection and attunement

  • A field of intimacy and trust where transformation happens

You will leave with the self-trust, confidence & skills to hold women in transformational sacred space

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

—How to create the arc of a ceremonial bodywork container for deep transformation

—Whole-body wrapping and rhythmic rocking to support holding, release, integration and nervous system regulation

—Womb Tending through intuitive, hands-on massage

—The art of devotional space-holding - attuning & being with the unfolding moment

—Navigating thresholds, endings and rebirths

—Embodying Priestess Presence

This apprenticeship is not a fixed protocol. It is an intuitive, relational transmission — a soul-led remembering rather than a step-by-step method.

You are not here to copy. You are here to remember.

You will be guided to listen deeply to the woman before you, honour your own blood and soul lineage, work with sacred tools respectfully and embody ritual through presence rather than performance.

This is a feminine way of learning — fluid and responsive to the unfolding moment.

  • “ I had a very traumatic birth and I felt that it was casting a dark shadow over my motherhood experience. There are no words for how incredibly healing the experience was. I was able to go into a mental state of profound healing. After the Closing Ceremony my life has completely changed. I'm enjoying motherhood which is what I always dreamed of before the traumatic birth took that away from me.”

    Selene

  • "I felt like I had entered a temple and been initiated into the ways of ancient and forgotten practises at the hands of a wise, ancient priestess. It was beautiful. When you lifted my eye mask I felt like I was in front of a golden arched doorway and walking through it I entered a new life, a brighter view. Since your treatment I literally feel stronger, happier, sexier at peace with myself and proud of who I am."

    Nicki

  • “I have never felt so safe in a healing session. For the first time in my life I truly believed and felt my body to be a temple worth tending too. I feel like life was breathed into me from head to toe - it's hard to articulate the magic that Amy weaves but I look different, I feel different, like a huge weight was lifted from me. I feel such gratitude for Amy holding me in my vulnerability and creating such a precious space for healing and integration. Thank you goddess."

    Laura Charlotte Taylor

  • "Dropping beyond time to be receptive for the deeper body work to occur. So many timelines merged as I was transported in her loving arms. There are few words for the ineffable states of consciousness reached. For the ancestral healing of returning to the circle of belonging and re-memberment in my being.”

    Laura Hart Swann

  • "Amy made me feel glad to be in a women's body. She made me feel loved, strong and beautiful. I can see why she labels her therapies 'devotional bodywork'. She does just that. For the time youre with her she is entirely devoted to you and your body"

    Bryony

  • "I floated out feeling so full of wonder and love. It was so joyous to feel a connection to my sexuality and sensuality. My whole body feels alive and loved. The areas I am more slow to love, my tummy, my hips...feel whole and wonderful, and utterly deserving of love. And overwhelmingly, I feel powerful! A devoted-on Queen who has stepped back into her power!"

    Julie

  • "You are lulled into remembrance of all the potential you contain. When I opened my eyes I felt opened to a new light, a feeling of being reborn. Amy holds space so beautifully, with such an awareness, love and an intuitive wisdom and deep knowledge of forgotten ceremony."

    Anna

  • “Being held in ceremony with Amy was a threshold moment to letting go of the past and opening up the portal to the next chapter of my life. I felt held, seen and honoured throughout. Amy has a very special gift supporting women to return to their power that every woman should experience."

    Natalie Miles

  • "My body let go and my trauma was born into a sacred circle and laid down to rest. In my cocoon I grieved. When I awoke I saw my sister smiling at me, she had witnessed it all, without saying anything she knew. We spoke with our bodies and our energy in entangled magic, the spirits carried away my poisons and returned me to myself. I will always remember my sister's smile when she held me that day - thank you Amy.”

    Frankie

  • “A beautiful, potent experience that has imprinted deeply in my heart. She gave me most nurturing experience lve ever had with a therapist, possibly with another human, certainly with another woman. She left my body feeling so soothed, yet awakened. I felt deeply connected to source, and my felt womb get alive in ways it seldom does. I'm eternally grateful for the space Amy held, and holds with deep integrity. Her presence, work and sincere devotion is incredible to behold.”

    Beth

  • "During my session with Amy, I had a vision of me back in my homeland, by a river surrounded with pine trees, with my future children. It was an epiphany of what I truly wanted in life and inspired me to make a big decision. This is not just body work but brings you into a state of alignment and realisation. It creates a pause in time and space for you to be with yourself, away from the noise of everyday life."

    Siobhan

  • "Held, nurtured, rocked and listened to. Honoured Spaciousness to BE. To unfurl. To go to the places, the nooks and crannies deeply embedded into not just my cells by my soul. Amy intuitively went to the hard to reach places - the caves where all the secrets reside. And she woke up the stories that lay quite happily taking up my space! Wake up! Time to rise! Out you come, we've some new dreams to form. It felt good to have those parts rocked awake, not to sleep."

ALTAR is for the women who…

☉ Feel the call to serve devotional feminine bodywork

☉ Desire to provide transformational sacred spaces for women to deeply receive honour & nurture

☉ Want to cultivate & deepen their priestess presence, energetic field & sacred touch

☉ Know that touch is a missing piece in healing

☉ Ideally, have already worked with me & experienced the power of these spaces

For ALTAR, no formal massage qualification is required to undergo this apprenticeship. If you wish to obtain insurance to offer bodywork in a professional setting (studio/healthclub), you will need a Level 3 massage qualification for insurance purposes. This apprenticeship is a self- initiation into sacred touch, presence, and energetic transmission—whether or not you choose to seek certification afterward is entirely up to you. Everything you experience in the apprenticeship will deepen & enhance any existing bodywork practices you are already sharing.

ALTAR is not aligned if you:

☉ Are not anchored in your own womb wisdom

☉ Do not regularly offer your hands to your own body with reverence – this is a key transmission of this work — to be embodied in your offerings

☉ Have no desire or intention to birth this service into the world—it needs to be shared!

We live in a world that is:

☉ Touch-starved

☉ Intimacy-starved

☉ Connection-starved

Women are longing for safe, sacred spaces where they can be held, honoured & deeply received. These spaces are rare & highly needed.

You are being called to create these spaces.

ALTAR will equip you with the skills, transmission & confidence to serve women in this way.
