I am birth/post partem doula, placenta encapsulation specialist and I’m also a Trageshule trained baby wearing instructor, belly binding and rebozo massage therapist, I also incorporate homeopathic remedies as one of my aids to help mums birth their baby, if its their wish for me to do so. I suffered from severe post natal depression with my second baby 21 years ago, not knowing what was making me feel the way I felt, until my friend had a talk to me about seeing a doctor and I got the help I needed, so from there on I learned how to recognise the signs and symptoms of post natal depression, every baby I had there after I learned of a more holistic approach to my maternal mental health that worked for me. I was lucky to be blessed with my seventh baby in 2014. Of course I was very anxious because I was almost forty and I was afraid I would get post natal depression again so I started to research everything I could do to avoid post natal depression and there wereso many articles about placenta consumption to avoid PND, well I was very interested in this as I saw this as a natural way to replenish my hormones and have lots of energy to enjoy my fourth trimester with my new born baby, six other kids to mind and a household to run, sadly I didn’t get to consume my own placenta as there wasn’t a specialist available to encapsulate my placenta for me , one year later my sister was due on new years eve and the encapsulation specialist wasn’t available for her either as she would have had to travel a four hour round journey just to collect my sisters placenta . I decided then and there I would train to be a placenta encapsulation specialist, as I wanted my sisters, daughters and friends to be able to avail of this fabulous service.
