I just wanted to say thank you so much for hosting the Birth Circle last night! It was so encouraging to be around other pregnant moms/postpartum moms and hear their stories/fears/hopes etc. It was like something my heart needed and I didn’t even know it! What a blessing!

Marcia was right there with the encouragement and affirmation that I needed to hear. …She also help us through the first feeding with baby. And then, she came back to check on us a few days later … Spending a few hours reflecting on the birth, giving some more tips on breastfeeding, talking through questions we had, and aweing over baby with us. She also called me to check in over the next few weeks - it was really so helpful to have that support in those first weeks and just have someone to process with and asking any and all questions as we’re just figuring everything out. She is huge in checking on your emotional health. -Leah

If you are thinking about encapsulating your placenta with Marcia Mattern, do it! Marcia was … very kind and understanding towards me as a first time mom; she gave her undivided attention to me when I was talking/venting about my birthing experience and helped soothe some of my concerns regarding my mental state and my baby's health. Her process is seamless and she does it right in your home so you always have your placenta within your possession. Encapsulating my placenta was one of the best decisions I made regarding my birth plan. I have not been emotional or have had the baby blues and I'm 3 weeks postpartum. I feel I have more energy and my mood is balanced when I take my pills. I forgot one night and the following day and I was a little emotional that brought on tears and anxiety. As soon as I took my pills, my mind immediately felt more at ease and able to handle the tough days that come with being a mom.-Amy B.
