Pregnancy & Birth are Spiritual, Emotional & Physical Rites Of Passage that should be Reverenced. My doula service tends to the whole woman's Mind, Body, & Spirit throughout her pregnancy & birth. I educate on the many option and choices in pregnancy & birth. This allows parents to be empowered and make informed decisions concerning the mothers health and the health of her baby. 

My main 3 focuses as a doula are :

• Preventing complications in pregnancy using food as medicine.
• Reclaiming our trust in the “naturalness of birth” .
• Avoiding unnecessary interventions.

 
I hold the space a woman needs to complete her pregnancy journey in reverence, honor and celebration.

Placenta Encapsulation

As an advocate for mothers, I am sure you are aware of the lack of resources currently available for postpartum women who suffer from postnatal mood disorders. Postpartum Support International states that the majority of women, 80% or more, suffer from some form of mood instability after giving birth.

Pregnancy and childbirth are taxing to a woman’s system, and scientific research has shown that the placenta is rich in vitamins, minerals and nutrients that her body needs to recover more quickly.

​Anecdotally, we are discovering that placenta capsules are very beneficial for helping to ease or completely relieve symptoms of the “baby blues”, making the transition to motherhood easier on women. Placenta encapsulation can help a great deal of women who would not otherwise have an option during the first important weeks of birth recovery.

The method of preparation has been used for centuries in Traditional Chinese to prepare placenta medicinally.

Health and Safety

Placenta encapsulation is easy, safe, and completely natural. I go to the client’s home after the birth to prepare the placenta in capsule form for the mother, for her own personal use during her postpartum recovery.
