Placenta Encapsulation and Tinctures
We offer placenta encapsulation via the Raw Prep or Traditional Chinese Medicine preparation methods. Both preparation methods offer the benefits previously discussed, however there are small differences between the two processing options.
Placenta capsules are meant to be taken during your early postpartum phase - for the first 2-4 weeks - and then slowly tapered off as you go further into your postpartum time.
Currently offering virtual and in-person doula services and childbirth education classes.

In our 4 month Mentorship Program, doulas will be provided with evidence based information, on-call support, practical tools and an opportunity to develop your skills as a doula. By attending group and one on one sessions, you will deepen your understanding of pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period. Part of our time together will consist of learning more about the pelvis and how they baby navigates the body during the birthing time. Within the mentoring group, doulas will have the ability to build relationships with other doulas who may become their backups. Each mentee has the opportunity to extend their program beyond 3 months. At the end of the mentorship program, each doula will have an exit interview to discuss their experience.
