I am a Birth Doula but not currently taking clients. Please check out the tabs below for my other realm of birthwork- Placenta Encapsulation. I feel so passionate about this work and continue to be amazed by the medicine the placenta provides the baby and Mama as well. It is such a valuable organ and this service is one I wish every family knew about. I hope I can serve you or someone I know in this way.
What Mama's have been saying about their choice to Encapsulate:
‘I had a very informative and wonderful experience with my placenta consumption. Zoë made sure to answer any questions and concerns I had, she was very knowledgeable about the whole process and made it very easy. Her turnaround time was within 48 hours which was so helpful to be able to start dosing so soon.I struggled very hard with PPD after my first two births and I do believe that the capsules helped ease that transition after my third birth. my hormones seemed to level out Much faster and Stay balanced throughout my postpartum this time. I also healed a lot faster and my bleeding subsided rather quickly. (Stopped in about a week.) I had very bad cramping when I came home from the hospital and really started to slow down once I started taking my capsules. I was very wary at first about taking them because I thought it would taste terrible but it’s really not bad at all. You have a little bit of an after taste but nothing terrible. it was very well worth it for all the benefits I received from taking them. Overall I highly recommend this experience if it’s something you have been thinking about. Zoë also made a BEAUTIFUL wind chime with part of my placenta and print that will last forever to preserve this amazing experience.” ~Charley
“Zoe and I learned together on the journey of motherhood and pregnancy. She helped me learn by supporting me with things I would have never known and now can pass on. I didn’t know what I was getting into and how much it takes too make it through 9 months of intense hormones and struggling with sickness every day. Even though we couldn’t fix the problems, she supported me and helped me stay strong through the process. It was truly amazing to have a friend be there and help me advocate for myself, especially as a soft spoken person, and also educated me about the process and the things I did or didn’t want anything to do with during the delivery. She stayed through the whole Birth and even made me a beautiful video of the whole experience to look back on. She’s an amazing person and an awesome friend, and I’m so thankful to have been able to experience this magical journey with her.” ~Britt
“I can definitely feel the energy effect, it helps me during the day get things done around the house while baby boy sleeps.With my daughter, I went through postpartum depression and this time around I have not experienced any feelings of depression.I pretty much stopped bleeding and having pains after a week and a half. Which I was sooo happy about as with my daughter I bled for 4.5 weeks.I decided not to breastfeed for many reasons but one major fear was not being able to produce milk (this was my experience with my first). however, I started to leak after a week of taking my capsules and I was leaking for a while after that. I thought about switching to breastfeeding during this time but decided against it as I will be going back to work full-time.~Mercedes
“Zoë at Emerald Heart Collective was such a joy to work with! Very professional and I got my capsule and my keepsake of the umbilical cord in a very timely matter. I knew once I had my daughter that I wanted to keep my placenta but didn’t really understand the benefits of doing so, but Zoë definitely explained the benefits to my personal understanding. After I had my daughter I was having troubles with getting my milk to come in, once I started taking my capsules boy oh boy did the milk come! Not only did it help with my supply it helped with my pain, discomfort and my energy. Now the energy isn’t like slamming two Redbulls but it’s definitely a little pick me up. I would highly recommend Emerald Heart Collective to anyone I know who is expecting and wants to keep their placenta. Thank you so much Zoë at Emerald Heart Collective!” ~Elcey
