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. Add a tincture, salve or art.

Pelvic Steaming with Fertility Massage
Pelvic steaming, also known as vaginal steaming or yoni steaming, combined with fertility massage offers a deeply nourishing approach to reproductive health. This gentle yet powerful pairing supports circulation to the womb and pelvic area, helping to balance hormones, release stagnation, and prepare the body for conception.
Beyond the physical benefits, this ritual provides a grounding, sacred space to reconnect with your body and inner wisdom.
