Specialties
I am a Placenta Encapsulation Specialist living on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Using the Traditional Chinese Medicine method, I prepare, dehydrate and encapsulate your placenta which helps facilitate lactation and prevent the precursors that lead to postpartum blues.
I offer my services from Victoria to Duncan including Langford, Sooke, Saanich, Cobble Hill, Mill Bay, Shawnigan Lake and surrounding areas.
Please check my website for details about my rates and service options.
History
Established in 2011.
My passion for working with women during their transition into motherhood started with a decision to train as a birth doula with DONA in 2004. I could not imagine a more humbling service to provide for women during this intense time in their lives.
In the late 2000’s, I spent some time living at a friend’s midwifery clinic. It was during this time that I learned about other ways a placenta might be celebrated and used. Placenta encapsulation was not as popular as it is now; with clients’ permission I buried placentas that came my way under new trees or shrubs in the garden where they could return their nutrients to the soil and not be treated as waste. I am now honoured to be able to offer this medicine in a more immediately accessible way to women postpartum.

My passion for working with women during their transition into motherhood started with a decision to train as a birth doula with DONA in 2004. I could not imagine a more humbling service to provide for women during this intense time in their lives. What I learned during that training truly opened my eyes to how resilient women are. I remember feeling like that last chapter of all the pregnancy and birthing books I read was just not enough to get a woman through «bringing her baby home», and was struck by what a sea change it is to bring a new life into the world. The phenomenon of postpartum depression or the baby blues seemed like something so reasonable to have happen during this tumultuous time of everything being so new.
I am now honoured to offer placenta encapsulation as a way to help ease the postpartum transition.
