"Cristina provided placenta encapsulation services for me after the birth of my first child. While I initially had my doubts about the effectiveness of consuming the placenta, I'm so glad I ultimately decided to have the capsules made by Cristina. I'm a month postpartum and am feeling great. My energy level has been good since I started taking the capsules and I seem to have "bounced back" from delivery very quickly. I can't attribute this to the capsules exclusively, but I'm sure they helped. 

I'm happy to have worked with Cristina on this -- she answered all of my initial questions about the process, was flexible and patient with us in scheduling a time to prepare the placenta in our home, and has been thorough with her follow-up. Her fee for the encapsulation service was very reasonable, and she provided helpful advice on other postpartum issues during her visit to our home. I'd definitely recommend Cristina for anyone looking for placenta encapsulation specifically our doula services more generally. 

Thank you, Cristina!"

"I wanted a placenta done but was undecided hearing about the different methods.  I got in touch with Cristina, and she was highly knowledgeable about the various nuances.  Because she was able to put it in laymens terms without dumbing it down, Cristina really helped me understand all the safety concerns.  I never felt pushed or talked down to, but thanks to Cristina’s explanation, I was able to put aside my doubts and go with the Chinese steaming method.  Cristina did it over the course of two visits in my home.  She behaved very professionally, answering questions, giving instruction and - most importantly for me - without disturbing the atmosphere of peace and serenity I wanted for my newborn.  The placenta pills themselves helped me a lot: I felt energetic and in a good mood.  Good amount of milk runs in my family, but I am sure the pills also helped.  I recommend Cristina’s services to anyone seeking placenta encapsulation."
