Birth Doula Support-
This is such an exciting journey for your family. I want to help you have the birth experience that you dream of! My goal is to empower you to be in control of your birth story and experience. With education, support and guidance I can help you feel confident about the upcoming birth of your baby. Even though this is an exciting time, it can also be filled with feelings of anxiety or fear. My hope is that I can help ease your fears and make this an empowering experience for your family. My role is also to help educate you about your choices and encourage your voice to be heard.

Placenta Encapsulation
Placenta Encapsulation is the process in which the nutrient rich placenta is prepared for ingestion after the birth of your baby. Women report having more energy, better milk-supply, and less postpartum mood disorders when taking their placenta capsules after birth. I am trained as a Placenta Encapsulator through IPPA (International Placenta and Postpartum Association). I have completed my Blood borne Pathogen and Infectious Control for Placenta Encapsulators Training as well as having a Washington State Food Handlers Card.

What I Offer:

Pick Up of your placenta from the hospital, birth center, or your home after a home birth
Dehydrate and Encapsulate the placenta in the method of your choice (Raw or Traditional Chinese Medicine)
Bottle and deliver the pills within 24-48 hours after receiving the placenta
Complementary Placenta Print and Cord Keepsake per your request

For these services I charge $200
Combined with Birth Doula Services $125

Also offer additional service of 4oz Placenta Tincture for $25

TENS Unit Rental
TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) Units are a drug-free, portable, and non invasive pain management tool that are a great option for pain management in labor. The unit works by sending electrical nerve stimulation through electrodes that are attached to the machine. It doesn't take away the sensation of contractions, but essentially interrupts the pain signals your brain is receiving, reducing your awareness of them or producing endorphins that allow you to cope better.

I offer the use of my TENS Unit for Birth Doula Clients only at this time. The use of the TENS unit is an additional $30 fee to my Birth Doula Services, and includes an individual set of electrode pads.

Pregnancy Teas
I create pregnancy teas that are tailored to each trimester of pregnancy. These loose leaf teas are made with herbs that are specially prepared with the unique needs of pregnant women in mind.

First Trimester Tea Blend- Assists in preventing nausea and sleeplessness. Continues ingredients such as peppermint, ginger, rose hips, and chamomile.

Second Trimester Tea Blend- Contains ingredients needed for immunity support and vitamins to prevent illness.. Contains ingredients such as nettle, elderberry, rose hips, oat straw, and alfalfa. (This is also beneficial throughout any trimester of pregnancy to prevent illness)

Third Trimester Tea Blend- Helps strengthen and prepare the uterus for birth, reduce swelling and fluid retention. Contains ingredients such as red raspberry leaf, nettle, rose hips, alfalfa, and dandelion.

All teas come in a 3 oz bag- $9.00
This makes a great gift for a pregnant mama!!!
