Placentophagy
We look at how we are tied to the land, the first energetic tie is to our mother in the womb through the umbilical cord.

Amber was simply amazing. We were in a pinch trying to look for someone who could process my wife's placenta for us, and she came through in the clutch. She was the consummate true professional who provided exceptional service. She was prompt about communicating with us, called when she said she would, showed up exactly when she said she would, got the job done exactly as described, and was super in following up with us to make sure we were getting the most of her services. I would highly recommend Amber!

-
Plant the placenta under a tree.
-
Tincture.
Placenta tincture is a constitutional remedy that can be used for the baby throughout her/his life as well. The placenta contains vitamins, minerals, hormones and stem cells so it’s a very good immune remedy. A few uses include cough, stuffy nose, indigestion, teething, high stress events (1st day of school, daycare etc).
It’s also beneficial for mom during transition and stressful times. Placing the tincture into hot water for the baby can also evaporate the alcohol if you do not want to give it at that concentration.
Similar to placenta encapsulation, it also holds remedy for baby and mom in: postpartum hormonal fluctuations, indigestion, insomnia, sleep disorders, ease anxiety, emotional distress, reduce colic and teething, aids trauma, transition, and helps eliminate any diseases (ie. whooping ought, fever seizures, rashes)

Amber encapsulated my placenta. She made the process very simple, which was obviously needed since baby was taking up all of my mental and physical energy. I appreciated the directions that she left behind with the pills, which helped when I couldn't remember how many to take, or when to take them.
I kind of wish I had worked with her well in advance of my baby's birth to schedule some massage, yoga, meals, or postpartum doula help. I had wanted these things, but didn't have the foresight (and baby was a little early!) to know that I wouldn't have the capacity to arrange for care *after* birth when I really needed it. Take my advice and get some self care with Amber on the calendar now, before baby is born!
