Postpartum Healing Support

Community & Parenting Resources

Confident Breastfeeding Guidance

Placenta encapsulation is a traditional postpartum practice, often discussed in childbirth education, that involves transforming your placenta into easy-to-take capsules. This practice is believed to support recovery and overall well-being after birth, providing valuable breastfeeding support. Reported benefits may include improved energy levels during postpartum recovery, hormonal balance and emotional stability, support in reducing the risk of postpartum depression, enhanced breastmilk production, and faster postpartum healing. Many new parents choose to work with a Doula to guide them through this process and maximize the benefits of placenta encapsulation. This service is in addition to the basic Birthing plan covered by Provider One.

Community & Parenting Resources

We offer a wide range of resources to support new parents, including access to community diaper banks, connections with trusted providers in our network, and valuable resources for breastfeeding support. Our childbirth education programs include parenting books, educational videos, and online tools. Additionally, we can help you find a Doula and provide information on placenta encapsulation. Our dedicated staff is always here to answer your questions and provide the support you need.
