Walking Women Through the threshold
Your guides
at the gate
Our Partnership
These ceremonies are guided by two practitioners who come together with a shared intention: to create a safe, sacred space where women can move through life’s thresholds with support, care, and deep presence.
Victoria and Jade each bring different healing traditions to the ceremony, allowing the experience to support the whole woman — mind, body, and spirit.
Victoria’s work focuses on subconscious integration and nervous system healing. Through guided processes that help shift limiting beliefs and emotional patterns, she supports women in releasing what no longer serves them and reconnecting with their inner authority.
Jade’s work is rooted in body-centered healing and intuitive care. Through intuitive bodywork, traditional rebozo wrapping, and the resonant frequencies of crystal alchemy sound bowls, she helps the body relax, restore, and integrate the emotional shifts taking place.
Together, these approaches create a powerful container for transformation.
Where one supports the inner landscape of the mind, the other supports the wisdom of the body.
Rather than focusing on a single modality, each ceremony weaves together multiple layers of healing so that transformation can be felt not only intellectually, but physically and energetically as well.
Healing is not something that happens to a woman..
It is something that awakens within her when she is held in the right space.
A Shared Calling
These ceremonies were born from a shared recognition that many women move through profound life transitions without support, witnessing, or integration.
Moments such as birth, grief, divorce, spiritual awakening, or identity shifts can reshape a woman’s life — yet modern culture rarely pauses to acknowledge them.
Through the Five Gates of Womanhood, Victoria and Jade offer a return to something ancient:
The honoring of life’s thresholds through ceremony.
Each experience is carefully held, deeply personal, and designed to support women in releasing the past, integrating their experiences, and stepping forward into the next chapter of their lives with clarity and strength.
The Space We Hold
Our role is not to fix or change you.
It is to hold a space where you can reconnect with the wisdom already within you.
Through ceremony, reflection, body-centered care, subconscious integration, and sound healing, we walk alongside women as they cross the thresholds that shape their lives.
Because no woman was ever meant to walk these transitions alone.

The Importance of Our Partnership
We are honored to offer Closing of the Bones threshold ceremonies together for women and mothers in the Valley.
Jade’s work has long supported women through intuitive bodywork, postpartum care, and restorative healing. Through this partnership with Victoria Richardson, founder of The Rapid Renegade, we are able to deepen that support by honoring the emotional, energetic, and identity shifts that accompany life’s most meaningful transitions.
Together, we guide women through sacred ceremonies designed to help close important chapters of life — including birth, postpartum experiences, miscarriage, identity shifts, grief, and other transformative thresholds.
By weaving together traditional rebozo bodywork, the Closing of the Bones ritual, subconscious integration, nervous system regulation, and crystal sound healing, we create a space where women can release what the body has been holding and step into the next phase of life feeling supported, grounded, and whole.
Our ceremonies are held within the framework of the Five Gates of Feminine Transformation, a ceremonial pathway that honors the profound thresholds women move through throughout their lives.
It is a privilege to hold this work together and create a safe, sacred space where women can be witnessed, supported, and restored as they integrate the stories held within their bodies.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Closing of the Bones ceremony?
Closing of the Bones is a traditional postpartum ritual practiced in various cultures around the world, particularly in Latin American and Indigenous traditions. It was originally offered to mothers after birth to help the body and nervous system integrate the profound physical and emotional changes of pregnancy and delivery.
Over time, this ceremony has also been adapted to support women through many of life’s thresholds — including identity shifts, grief, relationship endings, spiritual awakenings, and major life transitions.
Through nurturing touch, rebozo wrapping, and intentional ritual, the ceremony helps a woman symbolically close one chapter of life before stepping into the next.
Do I need to be postpartum to receive this ceremony?
No.
While Closing of the Bones originated as a postpartum ritual, many women receive this ceremony during other major life transitions such as:
• spiritual awakening
• divorce or relationship endings
• grief or loss
• burnout or identity shifts
• menopause or entering a new life stage
Any moment when one chapter of life is ending and another is beginning can be supported through ceremony.
What is subconscious reprogramming?
Subconscious reprogramming is a gentle process that helps identify and shift limiting beliefs, perceptions, and emotional patterns stored within the subconscious mind.
Many of the ways we experience life are shaped by beliefs we developed earlier in life — often without realizing it.
Through guided nervous system regulation and subconscious integration techniques, the mind and body are supported in creating new perspectives that feel more aligned, empowering, and supportive.
This process is deeply collaborative and always honors the wisdom and readiness of the individual.
What is PSYCH-K® and how is it used in the ceremony?
PSYCH-K® is a modality designed to help facilitate subconscious belief change by working with the body’s natural intelligence and the nervous system.
In the ceremony, elements inspired by this approach may be used to help identify and shift internal patterns that may be connected to the life transition being processed.
The intention is not to “fix” anything, but to help the mind and body integrate new perspectives that feel supportive and empowering.
What are Crystal Tones® Alchemy Bowls?
Crystal Tones® Alchemy Bowls are handcrafted sound healing instruments made from 99.992% pure quartz crystal infused with precious metals, gemstones, and rare minerals. These materials are fused into the bowls during the manufacturing process, creating unique vibrational qualities and tonal signatures.
The bowls used in our ceremonies are part of the Alchemy Bowl lineage, meaning they contain combinations of materials such as:
• Rose Quartz – associated with heart opening and emotional healing
• Amethyst – often connected to calming the mind and supporting spiritual awareness
• Andara crystal – believed to amplify energetic sensitivity and transformation
• Aqua Aura Gold – gold-infused quartz that supports clarity and energetic expansion
• Palladium and Platinum – precious metals that enhance resonance and tonal depth
• Lemurian Seed Quartz – known for its distinctive crystalline structure and high-frequency resonance
• Pink Ocean Gold – a blend associated with nurturing and heart-centered vibration
Each bowl is tuned to a specific musical note that corresponds with energetic centers in the body.
For example:
• C# and D# tones are often associated with grounding and emotional integration
• F# tones may support heart-centered awareness
• G# tones are commonly connected with intuition and higher perception
• A# tones can support deep relaxation and spiritual connection
Because every bowl is made with different alchemical materials and tuned to a specific note, each produces a rich, layered harmonic vibration that moves through the body in a unique way.
How does sound healing support the body?
Sound healing works through vibrational resonance.
When the bowls are played, the sound waves travel through the air and into the body, which is largely composed of water and highly receptive to vibration. These frequencies can help guide the nervous system into a deeply relaxed state.
Many people experience:
• a sense of deep calm or emotional release
• a shift from stress response into relaxation
• enhanced meditation and visualization
• a feeling of energetic alignment or clarity
While sound healing is not a medical treatment, many people find that these vibrational practices help support the body’s natural ability to restore balance.
Why sound healing is included in the ceremony?
Sound healing is offered during the final phase of the ceremony to help integrate the shifts that have taken place throughout the experience.
After the body has been nurtured and the subconscious work has been completed, the tones of the crystal bowls help support:
• emotional integration
• nervous system regulation
• energetic alignment
• deep rest and embodiment
Many women describe this portion of the ceremony as the moment when everything begins to settle and harmonize within the body.
How does sound healing support the endocrine system?
The endocrine system regulates many of the body’s hormonal processes, including stress response, mood regulation, and reproductive health.
Deep relaxation practices — including sound healing — can help activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which allows the body to shift out of stress mode and into a state of restoration.
While sound healing is not a medical treatment, many people find that vibrational sound practices help promote relaxation and support the body’s natural balancing processes.
What happens during the rebozo wrapping?
The rebozo wrapping is one of the central elements of the Closing of the Bones ritual.
Using long woven cloths called rebozos, the body is gently wrapped and held in a series of positions that create a feeling of deep containment and support.
This process can feel incredibly grounding and nurturing. Many women describe it as a moment where the body is finally able to fully relax and release what it has been holding.
The wrapping also symbolizes the closing of an old identity and the integration of the new chapter that is beginning.
How long does the ceremony last?
Ceremonies typically last 4-6 hours, depending on how many enhancements you choose to integrate into your ceremony. This allows ample time for reflection, bodywork, subconscious integration, sound healing, and rest.
The pace is intentionally unhurried so that the experience feels nourishing rather than rushed.
Do I need to prepare for the ceremony?
Before the ceremony, you may be invited to spend a little time reflecting on the life transition you are navigating and the intention you would like to bring into the space.
Comfortable clothing and an open heart are all that is required.
Additional preparation guidance will be shared once your ceremony is scheduled.
Is this a spiritual or religious practice?
The ceremony is spiritual in nature but not tied to any specific religion.
It honors the universal human need for ritual, reflection, and support during life’s transitions.
Women of all spiritual backgrounds are welcome.
Can I receive more than one ceremony?
Yes.
Many women return for ceremony during different phases of life as they cross new thresholds.
Each ceremony is unique and reflects the stage of the journey the woman is currently navigating.
How do I know if this ceremony is right for me?
Many women feel drawn toward ceremony before they fully understand why.
If something about this experience resonates with you — even in a quiet or subtle way — it may be a sign that you are standing at a threshold that deserves to be honored.
You are welcome to schedule a consultation to explore whether this ceremony feels aligned for you.
