 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.
