Nourishment in the 4th Trimester
placenta encapsulation
The popularity of placenta encapsulation has grown over the years but the traditions surrounding it hold true. The placenta is honored amongst many cultures as the "tree of life" for its role as your baby's oxygen, nutrient, and blood source during pregnancy. This nourishing organ when ingested has been known to enhance the postpartum experience with hormone and mood balancing, improvement of milk supply, increased energy and more.
Your Doulas of LB Placenta Specialist is professionally trained and will give your placenta the honor it deserves. We provide the safest protocols which include in-home processing, steaming and dehydration of your placenta prior to encapsulating. With additional certifications in blood borne pathogen training and food handling protocols, your placenta specialist provides the utmost care and abides by all guidelines set forth by OSHA. Placenta Tinctures and Salves are also available!
belly binding
The ancient art of belly binding is used to ease your body through the physical & emotional recovery post-birth. The supportive fabric and wrapping techniques provided by your Belly Binding Specialist have traditionally been used to provide the postpartum body support to assist abdominal wall muscle retraction and support loosened ligaments. Additionally belly binding can enhance your posture while feeding your baby and has been shown to provide comfortable support to the torso while your vital organs return to their pre-pregnancy size and position.
postpartum nutrition
The fourth trimester is a sacred and precious time for bonding and healing from birth. Support yours with holistic, customized meal planning and preparation designed to nourish you and your baby!
