  • Placenta Encapsulation

    Placentophagy goes back centuries in traditional Chinese medicine. The placenta is a temporary organ the body creates during pregnancy to deliver nutrients and oxygen to the baby. It is full of vitamins and minerals such as B6, B12, iron and rich in progesterone and estrogen hormones. The possible benefits of placenta encapsulation can include decrease in postpartum mood disorders, increased production of oxytocin which helps your uterus shrink back to its pre-pregnancy size, decrease in stress hormones, restoration of iron levels following bleeding after birth and increase in milk supply.

    Placenta Encapsulation - $200

    Placenta Tincture +$50

    Placenta Salve +$50

    Placenta Art +$50

    Prenatal yoga is a great way to connect with your baby, prepare for labor, calm the mind and build your confidence during birth.

  • 1:1 Meditation

    A regular meditation practice during pregnancy can help you cope with the sensations of labor so you can face each contraction from a place of calmness and empowerment. A natural response when feeling panicked is to take quick and shallow breaths, which activates the sympathetic nervous system putting us in a fight or flight response. This deprivation of oxygen can not only affect baby negatively but can make contractions feel more intense. Deep breathing and meditation are great ways of gaining control of your mind and body so you can work through any fears or anxieties around birth.

  • Pelvic Steaming

    The practice of pelvic steaming or vaginal steaming has been around for thousands of years and is utilized throughout many healing traditions and cultures from Latin America, Africa, Europe and Asia. Pelvic steaming increases blood flow, nerve flow and lymphatic drainage in the pelvic area – the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, bladder and rectum, as well as the muscles, ligaments and tendons of the pelvis. By increasing blood and nerve flow and lymphatic drainage, we are tapping into our bodies’ innate wisdom to heal itself.

    Steaming is a great way to nourish your body and connect with your womb prior to pregnancy, in preparation for birth and in healing during postpartum.

    *Not recommended prior to 37 weeks of pregnancy.

    $200 for 1h session
