Placenta Encapsulation
Benefits of Placenta Pills:
Faster physical recovery
Reduced risk of postpartum depression
Have more energy
Enhance milk production
And more!
Using the Traditional Chinese Method of processing placenta, I steam the organ with spices helping it kill off any harmful bacteria while still keeping many nutrients intact, it is then dehydrated, made into a powder and placed in capsules to utilize in the days and weeks after birth. They can also be saved to use during life transitions like going back to work, moving, menopause, etc.
Includes capsules; placenta print; cord keepsake; mothers broth; tincture and suggested dosage guidelines.

Abhyanga Massage
1 hour Abhyanga massage with Hannah at Richmond Wellness. Abhyanga is an Ayurvedic massage technique utilizing warm herbal oils and rhythmic touch. Benefits can include nourishing the immune and nervous systems, help relax and restore the new parent in hopes for a better nights sleep, help improve milk production, hydrated skin, improve blood flow and reduce swelling and help reduce stress which may lead to anxiety and depression. Receiving postpartum massage can also help speed up recovery time and balance hormonal fluctuations.
