Google review: "Heather made this whole process wonderful! She responds quick if you have any questions, and is very informative so you're not confused of how to take the capsules or anything else. Not to mention I received my package very quickly. I'm very satisfied with the service provided, and I would definitely do it again if given the chance."

I value timely communication. If you don't hear from me please reach out and check your SPAM folder. Last week I check in on someone that didn't open a proposal and they already had baby. They were upset because I didn't respond to them so they missed out on services. I did respond within a couple of hours but it went to SPAM so she missed it. It's so frustrating to me that my emails end up in SPAM folders when the recipient has emailed me first. So, always remember to check SPAM. You might have some important emails in there.

I think the intent of this phrase is good, but the impact, not so much. We want people to go into their birth feeling empowered, which I think is the intent of this statement, but we also have to consider the impact for those who feel their birth did not go smoothly (at least 1 in 3). ⁣
⁣
Those who end up on the other side of their birth (whether it was traumatic or not) feeling like it didn’t go the way it was “supposed to” remember this statement and often think, “well I guess I did something wrong, because my body didn’t do what it was designed to.” ⁣
⁣
The number of individuals that feel this way is significant. Because when you’re told your body is meant to do something and then it doesn’t, the natural first thought is, I must be the issue, I must have done something wrong. ⁣
⁣
I think we also assume this statement helps manage fear, but reassurance like this can feel more akin to a brush off. We want to provide evidence-based education about labor and delivery. We want to explain that our bodies do have some pretty cool mechanisms to support labor and delivery, but they don’t always go off without a hitch and that’s okay. ⁣
⁣
Our bodies were “designed” for a lot of things, but that doesn’t mean they all go smoothly. Maybe my body was initially designed to give birth, but with this specific birth, it quite literally attacked itself. It was not designed for birth in this particular scenario. The same goes for the many unpreventable complications: preeclampsia, eclampsia, HELLP, AFE, accreta spectrum, AFLP, etc. For these complications in these specific births, bodies struggle with labor and delivery and that’s okay. Sometimes our bodies are not always able to do what we imagine they’re designed for.
⁣
So, let’s change the narrative when we are supporting pregnant individuals. Let’s talk about how incredible our bodies are, that they can literally create life, but let’s pull back on the broad sweeping statements. Let’s provide balanced, evidence-based education. Let’s provide risks and benefits. Let’s offer information rather than empty reassurance.

Thank you to all my November clients! Fun Fact: 1/4 of the November clients were last minute. The most last minute clients to date. It's okay to reach out if you are in labor or when babe is in arms. We will work it out.

Here are some placentas from the month. They are on here randomly. Next month I'm going to try to match the placenta with the date because that would just be fun!!!

True story. 😂 I love talking all about the placenta and every time I do to someone new this is the reaction I get.

Hey! I'm Heather! I'm your local to Philadelphia Placenta Encapsulation Professional! I have been in the placenta biz since 2012 but I encapsuled my first placenta in 2006! It was mine! I'm on staff at the@placenta_association and love all things placenta related. I'm also a certified hypnotherapist, life coach, Emotional Freedom Techniques Practitioner and I have my diploma in holistic health. You might say I love to learn. I have many other certifications as well. I'm a collector. LOL
I love working with postpartum moms and supporting you in feeling the way you want to feel in your body and mind. You are just as important as everyone else you are caring for!
When I'm not working or learning I like to make time for all the amazing people in my life, which include 6 kids! I love plants, gardening, home aesthetics, baking, music and supporting my own well-being!

If there is anything you would like to know about me, ask!

Sometimes there is a legit reason that your placenta can’t be released. The majority of the time there is not. If they tell you it’s hospital policy to not release the placenta call the patient advocate!

"Smooth from start to finish! All instructions were easy to follow. Pick up was quick, and I received my capsules a few days after! Packaging was very well presented, with instructions. Best decision I’ve made during my pregnancy journey! Thank you Heather!"

You're welcome! It is my pleasure.
