Placenta Encapsulation
Avoid the Baby Blues NATURALLY! Each journey into motherhood is full of intense and beatiful changes. As we prepare our minds and bodies for birth we should do the same in preparing for the postpartum period. Tips for a happy postpartum I'm so excited to offer postpartum support and healing for moms through placenta encapsulation!
The placenta is an amazing organ that a woman's body creates to nurture a child. Following birth a woman suffers a severe loss of iron, about 1/8 to 1/10 of her bodies supply with a normal vaginal delivery. This loss can lead to cells not being able to absorb oxygen adequately, a fatigued and faint mother, and therefore a slow healing postpartum. This exhaustion can also lead to postpartum depression, or the baby blues. A shocking estimation of 80% of women are reported to suffer from PPD.

~ increase your energy and iron
~ enhance your milk supply, and in some cases help your milk come sooner
~ eases the sharp decline in hormones following birth
~ helps prevent PPD
~ aids in overall postpartum recovery and well being
Trained and Certified in the PBi(TCM) method of placenta encapsulation I only prepare the placenta at my home (but please contact me if your interested in a home preparation as I always make accomadations for my clients!). The TCM method of placenta encapsulation includes conscious handling of the placenta, rinsing in clean water, careful drainage of the blood vessels, steaming with ginger and myrrh, and dehydration. *Please note that you should not take placenta capsules when experiencing any illness including a cold, flu, or mastitis. I only prepare one placenta at a time in my home, so there is absolutely no issues with cross contimination. All equiptment is washed and sterilized before and after each placenta as well as the area I prepare it in according to strict OSHA guidelines.
Placenta encapsulation allows you to reap the benefits of ingesting your placenta by swallowing capsules, like a vitamin for several weeks postpartum. Please feel free to contact me with any questions regarding the process of encapsulating your placenta.

"It's been a few days now since I've been taking the placenta capsules and have to say that I feel remarkably well and energized, definitely not as tired in recovery as I was with my first son... I seriously feel like I have a burst of energy that I didn't have before and also I find that I'm not feeling as emotional/down as I did the first few days... It is truly amazing the contrast in recovery this time around compared to the first and I do believe I owe it to you and your work. "
