When I first heard a good friend of mine was looking into placenta encapsulation, although I was not totally grossed out, the thought of swallowing your own placenta didn't sit right with me. However, watching her and another friend go through the process and see the benefits for my own eyes somewhat intrigued me.
When my Mother passed in February 2018, I suffered 2 miscarriages in quick succession and my mood was at an all-time low. Luckily, we were able to get pregnant soon after and carried full term. It was at this time that I started to worry about my coping mechanisms once baby arrives and how I would survive without my Mum, who was integral to the raising of my little girl and my life in general.
When speaking to Victoria about the benefits of placenta encapsulation, she was able to highlight the benefits of each product, without pushing anything upon me and explained fully the process of how each product is made from the placenta. I cannot explain how pleased I am to have made the choice to have my placenta encapsulated.
After a horrific birth ending in an emergency c-section under general, I can honestly say these capsules have enabled me to think clearly, not be highly emotional and I have much more energy than I did with my first born. Just not having my Mum around was enough for me to go down into the baby blues, let alone with a birth I had not planned, that was scary and completely taken out of my hands. Not only was the birth awful but the inability to feel like a Mum due to the recovery afterwards was so very difficult, however taking the capsules have made me feel energised, grounded and enabled me to bond with my new baby boy. I have also been able to take a capsule when I had a severe headache and within 10 minutes it had disappeared.
I cannot recommend Victoria at The Placenta Tree enough for her advice, care and professionalism. I am without a doubt so pleased I did it.
Thank you Victoria x
