Placenta encapsulation is the process of preparing the placenta after birth—steamed, dehydrated, ground, and placed into capsules—for the birthing person to ingest postpartum. Many believe this natural practice may support hormone balance, energy levels, milk production, and emotional wellness during the fourth trimester. If you're curious about placenta encapsulation and whether it's right for you, I’d be happy to answer your questions.
A note on Pricing
The pricing for each package reflects the depth of support, time, and training that goes into providing quality care. That said, I understand that every family’s circumstances are unique. If you feel a connection to this care but have financial concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m open to having a conversation and will do my best to explore flexible options where possible.
My goal is to provide thoughtful, personalized support—and that begins with open dialogue.
COMING soon: TEns in Labor
Pain management is an important part of preparing for birth. At The Good Hour, Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is offered as a complementary option for all clients, at no additional cost.
What is TENS?
TENS is a safe, non-invasive, and medication-free method for managing labor pain. It works by delivering mild electrical impulses through electrode pads placed on the lower back. These impulses block pain signals and encourage the release of endorphins—your body’s natural pain relievers. TENS allows you to remain present and more in control during labor.
Benefits of TENS in Labor:
Offers effective, drug-free pain relief
Can be used from early labor at home
Promotes relaxation between contractions
Encourages a more active, engaged birth experience
May reduce the need for medical interventions
Expert Support You Can Trust
As a doula trained in the use of TENS for labor, I provide support with:
Pad placement and setup
Adjusting intensity for comfort
Integrating TENS with other comfort measures
Guidance on when and how to use it effectively
