Step Into Your Next Chapter, Reborn as Mother
Appropriate from 4 weeks to many years postpartum.
A Womb Closing Ceremony is a sacred rite of passage – a way to mark and honor the chapter of birthing your baby, and step into the next chapter of your life and motherhood.
Through pregnancy and birth, our bodies and energy fields must expand and open to allow new life to pass through. After giving birth, it is important that we close the bones of the pelvis, energetically sealing the root chakra and womb space.
In this ceremony, we call in the power of Mother Earth, of smoke and plant medicine, of body work and energy healing – to help the wisdom your womb has gained through pregnancy and birth to surface and integrate.
In the final stage of the ceremony, you can be tightly wrapped in scarves. Not only is this a delicious physical experience for postpartum bodies, but also a symbolic cocoon, within which you can process the lessons from your birth.
A physical and spiritual experience, you can expect to emerge from a Womb Closing Ceremony transformed.
I offer this ceremony with profound gratitude to the lineage of American and Mexican midwives that have tended to and taught these practices. May we all collectively remember what it is to be held.
Testimonials
Alexi has provided me tremendous support throughout my pregnancy. I knew I wanted community and so I first joined her prenatal yoga class. Not only did I get the support I wanted but she tailored the classes to our needs and provided us with resources to help along the way. I didn’t know I needed therapy but I decided to try her somatic healing. I’m convinced every pregnant woman should try it. It connected me to my body and my baby in a way I didn’t realize I was missing. I’m forever grateful and look forward to continue utilizing her support through postpartum.
Angela Prenatal Yoga, SoulFull PregnancyAlexi is fantastic at what she does and I can’t recommend her enough. Along with everything she did for me regarding postpartum Doula items, it was also really healing and comforting to have a fellow mother here who could listen to me and relate to what I was going through!!
Christine Postpartum Doula Support, Womb ClosingAlexi made me feel comfortable and supported from the very beginning of the womb closing ceremony! She took time to ask about my intentions and listen to my birth stories, which made the ceremony feel deeply personal. The experience included smoke clearing, flower brushing, chakra meditation, bodywork, and wrapping in scarves—each part helping me release what I no longer needed and step into a new chapter as a mama of two. I left feeling lighter, more expansive, and truly nourished. A beautiful and transformative experience!
Jenna Womb ClosingI was 6 years postpartum when I had the fortune of receiving Alexi’s gentle guidance & only had a few sessions - but even those few sessions helped me center back into my body & work towards healing years of persistent pelvic pain… at one of the hardest times of my life! Miraculous is the word that comes to mind for the possibility within her work. I look forward to returning to learn from her again in the future.
CC Somatic Healing SessionsAlexi was such an amazing asset to my birth recovery. As my postpartum doula she was able to help out with housework, a few breastfeeding things (she helped immensely with how to prop the baby in my space for more comfortable feeding), herbal healing (teas/footbaths), and the amazing Closing of the Womb ceremony she performed.

You Are Not Alone
I’m Alexi Neal, a Holistic Postpartum Doula, Trauma-Informed Somatic Healer and Mom to two tiny humans.
In over 13 years of supporting healing in the body and beyond, I have become a Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapist, an Internationally Certified Yoga Therapist, a Reiki Master, and a continuous student of neuroscience, the nervous system, and human deveopment. I was trained as a Postpartum Doula by my own homebirth midwife, Geneva Montano.
I have also specialized in Prenatal Yoga, Yoga Therapy for the Pelvic Floor, Holistic Postpartum Recovery, Matrescence, Ayurveda, and Trauma Informed Care. My practice brings together modern research and ancient wisdom.
My own journey into Motherhood journey sparked the call work with mothers. For 5 years, I applied this knowledge to supporting trauma survivors in healing, integrating and building thriving lives through individual and group support. But when I became a mother, I faced my own reckoning with the dramatic life changes that occur through this portal. It’s a time that needs far more attention, preparation, and support than our culture believes. But when we provide that support, it is rich with creative, dynamic and evolutionary potential.
Now, my mission is to hold mothers through this threshold, so they can emerge vibrant and rooted.
