Belly Casts: A belly cast is made of plaster casting strips that are soaked in warm water and then applied to your pregnant form. Once the plaster hardens, it forms a light yet durable cast of your pregnant self.
Making a permanent form of your belly is a great way to celebrate your pregnancy! This wonderful keepsake allows you to express yourself artistically while creating a lasting memory. Once your cast hardens, you can use it to create a beautiful work of art by painting it, if you wish. Belly casts are done in the privacy of your own home.

Placenta Encapsulation:
Placenta Encapsulation is a process in which the placenta is dried, ground up, and turned into capsule-pills for the women to digest during the postpartum period.
The benefits of placenta encapsulation include: increased milk supply, decreased postpartum bleeding, increased energy level, decreased chance of developing postpartum depression, and more.
1-3 days after the birth I will come to your home or birth location and pick-up your placenta. I will take your placenta home and prepare and return capsules within a few days.
