Placenta Encapsulation
The Placenta Encapsulation package offers a natural approach to postpartum recovery by encapsulating the placenta for consumption. This practice, which has been part of postpartum care for centuries but gained recent popularity, is based on the idea that the placenta is rich in essential nutrients like iron, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, and hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. By encapsulating the placenta, it's believed to provide several benefits, including hormonal balance, potentially reducing postpartum depression and anxiety. It may also boost energy levels and support a faster recovery, aid in milk production, offer pain relief through natural opioids, and help alleviate postpartum symptoms like fatigue, mood swings, and baby blues. The service is designed to empower new mothers to have a smoother and more balanced postpartum experience. Investment: $300
What to expect
My two main goals with being a doula is to ensure that moms are experiencing their ideal birth and to have a successful 4th trimester. We will achieve this by being educated and informed on childbirth education, evidence-based information, interventions, advocacy and more. During the 4th trimester we will focus on rest, warmth, healing foods/herbs and body work to ensure a healthy recovery and to avoid postpartum depression/anxiety.
