"Hi Linda! Thank you so much for being so flexible and accommodating to our family! I have been taking the capsules and they are great. We love our umbilical cord keepsake. Will definitely leave a more detailed review soon." Chris L. 9/18'
"Hi Linda, thank you so much for your response and I am sorry for my late one! This decision got lost in the craziness of getting everything ready for the little guy. I was due on September 13th, so he could come any day now. Do you have room for us on your calendar? If so, I will get your check in the mail. Thank you so much for making this service available to mommies." Amanda M. 9/18
"Linda, thank you so much for the placenta artwork and umbilical cord heart keepsake. Those two things were not "must haves" when we were shopping around but I am so grateful to have them now and will cherish them for years to come! Also, not only did you turn around the placenta capsules quickly, you have been extremely delightful to work with-Thank You! Take care and talk soon when tincture is done brewing :) " Ashleigh M. 5/18
"Hi Linda, How are you? I can't believe it's been 3.5 years since we last spoke! I remember meeting you at the Spectrum to pick up my placenta pills after Andrew was born! Time flies! I am writing to check to see if you are still doing placenta encapsulation and if so, to ask the current price and to reserve my spot. I am due with my third! baby boy at the end of May/early June. Hope all is well and I look forward to hearing from you soon! Best" Nicole D. 2/24/18
"Hi Linda, my name is Victoria. You did my placenta encapsulation and tincture for my first pregnancy over two years ago now! And now I’m preparing for baby number 2! We are expecting our second boy around May 2nd. I wanted to know if you are able to provide services then. We are going to be birthing at Beach Cities Midwifery in Laguna Niguel. Let me know! " Victoria T. 2/19/18
"Hi Linda, Goldie received her packages just now and was so impressed by everything we have just put a check in the mail for $>> to thank you. We are so happy we were able to do this with our second child. Thank you for making yourself available and for being so flexible. Meeting you was wonderful and we are so happy we were referred to you. We will definitely recommend you to all of our friends. Much love." Follow-up: "Goldie feels great! It's working! Amazing!" Goldie and Parker S. 3/15/17
"Linda, Thank you so much for everything. I truly appreciate you being so available. Especially when I literally waited until the last second! Thank you." Yvonne M. 1/17/17
"Thank you for everything. The pills are great for energy. I'm so glad I have them and the artwork is really cool! I never want them to run out. Katie S. 9/17/16 (Note from me: Don't worry or hoard them. Your tincture is doing "it's thing" as we speak and will get to you just in time.)
"Hi Linda, I hope this finds you well! I wanted to reach out to see if you would please like to do my placenta encapsulation again now that I'm due with my second? I was very happy with the results from the first encapsulation you did for me in 2013 and so I wanted to reach out to you again this time around! I am due soon and am planning to birth at Beach Cities Midwifery again with Tammy as our doula. Can you please remind me of your pricing for the capsules and the tincture? Someone recently mentioned a salve that is made from the placenta as well-do you know anything about that? Hope to hear from you soon and that you can join us once again for this awesome birth journey!" Diana S 8/17/16
"I absolutely love my placenta capsules! The decision to encapsulate my placenta for my third pregnancy was one of the best decisions. I have noticed a huge difference in not only my overall mood, but my energy level has been incredible, my milk supply has increased and my newborn has been my calmest baby. I wish I would have known the benefits of placenta encapsulation with my first two pregnancies as my postpartum experience has been much easier this time around. I would highly recommend placenta encapsulation to any new mamas as the benefits have truly been amazing! Thank you so much Linda for such an amazing job with my placenta and the beautiful prints! I am so excited to try my tincture in a few weeks." Mattie E. 8/18/16
"So happy you can help us with the encapsulation and tincture again. I love the tincture. I feel like it is so valuable. I am so glad that you make it. Sincerely,"Kylee M. 7/21/16
"This is AMAZING. Wow. I love it so so so much. I wanted to thank you for doing these wonderful things for us. I can actually feel a difference with the pills every day. Less emotional. More peaceful. Wow. Thank you for blessing us Linda!!" Esther F-J 7/9/16
"We got the packages today!! Thank you. I love the heart shaped umbilical cord and pictures. Such amazing things to share with Cameron once he's old enough to truly appreciate them. You do excellent work!! If we are blessed with a second child one day we will do this again. After taking my first dose my husband offered for me to rest but am feeling fine so he's taking one first. Will take my second dose soon. Thank you for everything you have done for us and said to me. I would love to help other moms by my comments. I hope you are having a good weekend so far!!" Karen K. 6/18/16
"Loving my placenta capsules! They really work. I was really weepy after my firstborn but I think these have kept the blues away this time. Looking forward to the tincture." Katelyn C. 12/23/15
"Thank you for being so thoughtful and caring! I am so glad I invested in my health and wellness through your outstanding service! I am definitely going to spread the word about you to all of my new mama friends!" Mandee G. 11/21/15
"The capsules are great! I notice it at night when I need to be alert for the baby. Feeling great. Others moms are so shocked by my mood and energy. My husband even commented and said "How are you not tired right now? I'm exhausted!" I said, "Maybe it's the capsules" and he laughed and said, "Can I have one? Thank you so much! Excited for the tincture." Victoria T. 11/13/15
"The prints are absolutely beautiful! I am feeling much better these days and am taking 2 capsules 3x a day. I forgot to take them this afternoon and was quite lethargic. Took them and a nap waking up with a much needed burst of energy :)" Melissa P. 11/3/15
"Dear Linda, thank you so much for doing a fantastic job with my placenta. We LOVE the print you made...the pills are working their magic, and, I absolutely adore the necklace you gifted me...it's perfect. You are a gem and I am so grateful we connected. Thank you for helping us have such a wonderful postpartum chapter. Ezra thanks you as well. All our love, Terra, David, Ashton and Ezra"
Terra J. 9/12/15
"Hi Linda! I just wanted to write you a note to tell you what a difference the tincture has made for me. It's changed my life! After I finished the capsules in 3 weeks, I felt some postpardum depression creep up on me. I was considering medication but I'm breastfeeding and really didn't want to go that route. I got my tincture just in time. I started feeling better immediately. I would describe it as feeling calm and balanced yet energetic. I wish I had it with my first child! Even my husband and friends noticed a difference. My husband said to never stop taking it :) Thank you so much! I'm glad I will have it for my daughter and the menopausal years😊. Love"
Stephanie L. 8/25/15
"Hi Linda, I've been using the tincture for awhile now and must say I am so grateful for it! I completely understand what you meant when you said it would have a "cooling" effect. It gives me a nice mellow feeling when I use it but I still feel as though I have energy to burn. It was certainly a wonder to have on our recent road trip and as life starts to speed up. Thank you so much for everything! I'll be sending all my friends your way when the start their families. Hope you are having a wonderful week." Cris L. 4/29/15
"Hi Linda, I know that my husband has been the one talking to you through all of this because I went into labor before we officially signed up with you, but I wanted to call and say 'thank you for everything'. I have three sets of friends who are looking for someone to do their placenta therapy so I definitely would love to give them your information and let them know about you. Again, I wanted to call and say 'thank you for doing this for me and sorry that we didn't get to see each other THIS TIME!" Nicole L. 3/11/15
"Dear Linda, I am thrilled to have your love and care for our baby's placenta. This time we would like to please have the encapsulation and tincture. Thank you!" Liz E. 2/24/15
"Loving the capsules! I have so much energy, zero baby blues and my fourth baby boy has been the calmest easiest baby so far. Thanks for checking in and blessings!" Ashley C. 2/23/15
"Placenta encapsulation was one of the best decisions I made for managing postpartum emotions after my second baby. I knew that I would need all the help I could get in order to best care for myself, my busy three-year old, and my newborn. Linda delivered my placenta pills within 24 hours, and I immediately saw and felt the benefits of them. I had more energy, I was more stable, and felt more confident in my ability to care for my family, rather than the emotional spikes I felt after my first baby. (If only I had known about the benefits of placenta encapsulation with my first!!) I also opted to get the placenta tincture, because...why not? If the pills worked, then having an unlimited supply seemed to make sense. I have since used the tincture for days when I feel particularly stressed or just "under the weather". I have used it for my daughter to help boost her body when she had a cold. My newborn is a champion sleeper, which means that my period returned around 2 1/2 months postpartum. I took the tincture each day of my period and had extremely mild symptoms, no cramping, and felt more balanced emotionally. I recommend both the encapsulation and tincture to all of my friends, and have even given the gift of placenta tincture to one of my mama friends. It's the gift that keeps on giving -- literally."

"Encapsulation (including husband's observations): My lord! I cant possibly rave enough about how incredible my Placenta encapsulation was! It was so great in fact, that I became stingy with my pills in fear that I would run out (bad choice...)! As a new mother of two, I was very nervous about how I was going to cope. I mean, with my first child if I was feeling a little blue I could take a nap and get in those 'oh so wonderful newborn cuddles'. But with two kids, how the heck was I going to keep up! That's where the Placenta Encapsulation came in! I started taking my pills the 2nd day after birth, and I could immediately feel a dramatic difference in myself. I was up making my bed in the hospital, chatting with every person that came into the room, cracking jokes and really truly enjoying those first few moments with my new family of 4. My placenta pills assisted me in being present in the moment. I wasn't worried about my lack of makeup, messy hair, or lack of modesty. I was so immersed with the beauty of what was my newborn. What a gift. Throughout my postpartum period, my placenta encapsulation was my life saver! The change in me was so apparent, that my husband could literally tell if I skipped a few of my pills! They gave me more energy, boosted my mood, helped with lactation, and made me feel overall just better. My mind was clearer and they chased away my baby blues. I would recommend a placenta encapsulation to any expecting mother, because I really don't know how I would have gotten through my postpartum period without it!
Now about the tincture: Once I was nearing the end of my placenta encapsulation, I was getting nervous about loosing that 'feel good' feeling my pills gave me. That's when my Placenta Tincture came in! Not only did it help me, but it makes a huge difference in my newborn! When he has really bad gas or growing pains it seems to help him within a minute or two. The thing I love about it is that I can continuously add to it throughout my life and it can actually assist my children and I for years to come! I love the idea that when my daughter hits puberty, it can help balance out her hormones and in turn make raising a teenager easier! My tincture actually seems to work stronger and faster than my placenta pills did. It has a warming effect that seems to help me when I need a little pep in my step or if I am having a hard day. I am unbelievably grateful I decided to get a placenta tincture as well along with my placenta encapsulation!" Morgan B. 3/27/14 (Follow-up)
"I took my capsules and my baby with me back to the hospital when I was readmitted because of high blood pressure. This is my second pregnancy and I was counting on encapsulation helping me emotionally. I was able to deal well with my medical condition and the necessary rehospitalized, and am coping much differently altogether than my first birth. I am really happy to say my milk supply is wonderful despite all the stressors and I know it is because of the help with the capsules." Jillian C . 3/22/14
"I just wanted to take a moment to thank you. My placenta "happy" pills are so far amazing! I've been taking 3 pills, 3 times a day and I've been feeling better each day. I sort of want to scream from the rooftops "I'm consuming my placenta and it's awesome!!!!!". Hahaha! Again, just thank you so much! Also, my placenta prints and umbilical chord heart are beautiful!!!! The placenta prints really do look like a tree!! I'm just trying to figure out where I want them. Any suggestions? I'm just overwhelmed with how fantastic your services have been for me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I absolutely can not wait for my tincture in a few weeks!" Morgan B. 2/7/14
"Hi Linda! I hope you've had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! This is Joanne and you provided placenta encapsulation for me a little over two years ago. You were so sweet and helpful and the placenta pills helped me immensely as I was not only recovering from having my son, but adjusting to major move from one coast to the other. I'm writing because I'm due with baby #2 on the 25th and I'd love to know if your encapsulation services are still available and if the rate is still the same. Thank you for your time and I hope that all is going well for you! Peace and blessings." Joanne and James 1/7/14
"Hi Linda, thank you so much! On a moments notice you did this. Thank you... Momma and Baby Anthony and me appreciate it. Things are going good. I'm doing my best to keep mom eating good and taking her capsules! We'll keep in touch, love..."
Aaron and Michelle H. 12/17/13
"I will write a proper review soon but I wanted you to share my text in the meantime...'Hi Linda, I am feeling great!! People can't believe how well I am recovering! Breastfeeding is going well! Today I had a lactation consultant visit. As she was leaving she stopped and said, "Can I just say, you seem very upbeat and energized. Most moms are a little emotional but you look and sound great." I told her I encapsulated my placenta and she was impressed. I truly believe if I didn't have them (capsules), I would be in a bad place now. I was struggling with the unexpected C-Section and having a hard time feeding baby." Katie J. 11/14/13
"So glad to hear you are bringing my tincture today! Have been out of capsules since Tuesday and feeling irritable. This is the first time with the tincture and I know it's stronger. Will keep you posted." Maura C. 10/18/13
"My capsules worked really well for me, And, just like you said my husband would walk in, see me overwhelmed, and then come back carrying capsules. For me I noticed their effect within 20 minutes or less. It was a real challenge having received the wonderful news that the adoption we had applied for had been approved and our daughter was coming to be with us, only to find out right around that exact time that I was pregnant! Settling a very young toddler into our home of two dogs, three cats, and some fish along with the "impossible" pregnancy was so much to handle. I had a hard time even imagining what postpartum would be like. I am so grateful that I chose to do the encapsulation and tincture. I know I need and will use the tincture immediately. I will write you my experiences with that." Lisa O. 10/17/13
"Hi Linda, I just bought these cards so I could send you a thank note. I am very pleased with the placenta capsules as well as our whole experience with you. You were great to work with and made the whole placenta exchange so easy. It was seamless.Thanks so much for showing up at 5 am at the hospital and also for your quick delivery of the pills to the hospital the next morning. Our watercolor print is beautiful...much better than I expected. The capsules are amazing and are doing just what they are intended to do...making me feel great. So great and energetic that I cut down to 5 pills a day since I had so much energy! We had a wonderful experience and truly are pleased with your services. Many thanks Aimee and James." Aimee W. 10/15/13
"Hi Linda, we are doing well. Our little Sofia only had to spend 3 days in the NICU so we were home by that Monday. Since then we have all just been adjusting to a newborn in the house. I can't say enough about the capsules! I can see and feel such a difference in my overall well- being than what I felt when I had my son, plus they really helped with my milk production! I'm able to breastfeed and produce enough to keep my little one happy. My husband also notices a difference in my attitude this time around and he wishes he could take a couple to help him on the difficult days. Looking forward to getting my tincture on the 20th." Claudia B. 9/3/13
"I gave birth to my son in June 2013 at home. Everything went well, except I wasn't expecting to have pelvic separation (Symphasis Pubis Dysfunction) from the water birthing. From the next day I was not able to walk because the pain was excruciating when I moved any part of my body. With this inability to walk, trying to breastfeed as a first time mom and all the million concerns I had with my newborn, I was having a very rough postpartum. I received my placenta pills immediately and started to take them. I'm not sure how I would've functioned if I didn't take them. My husband would call them "happy pills" and would make me take them whenever I would seem depressed or stressed. I would've gone "nuts" if it weren't for the placenta pills that helped me stay balanced. My husband even noticed my mood when I have and haven't taken the placenta pills. Thank you Linda for supporting mothers with their postpartum! I bought the tincture as well and am excited to try it when needed. Thanks again!!! Take care, Emily" Emily H. 8/27/13
"I was told by my midwives to wait until my milk supply quieted down (day 3-4) before starting my capsules since my initial milk supply was more than plentiful and they were unsure of how my body would be affected by the placenta capsules related to breast milk production. Because of this, I had a good opportunity to see and feel the difference in my hormones, mood and coping skills while waiting to be able to use them restoratively. Before the capsules, I was a bit of a roller coaster emotionally ready to cry on and off. Not in sadness but just everything being so new along with the fact that I need a great bit of physical healing from the birth process.Truly, though, it was my husband who noticed my needs before they escalated too far. When on my own at times I felt overwhelmed and emotional. He was the one who proactively made them available to me when he was around and encouraged me to remember to routinely take them when he wasn't. This is our first baby and I am so very glad I did chose to use personal placenta therapy arranging for the capsules and life-long follow-up tincture to be a part of my birth plan. I am a real believer in their restorative benefits. I appreciated Linda's service so much. We love our watercolor paper prints and umbilical cord keepsake." Bethany N. 8/22/13
"I am so relieved and grateful I ordered the tincture as insurance, which I had prepared in vodka, after having experienced the undeniable beneficial affects of my capsules. This is my first child. Absolutely everything was new to me. I recovered from an unplanned emergent C-Section. I was exhausted the first few weeks trying to remember to eat and sleep. We bought and sold houses. We had out of town guests. We flew to visit family far from Orange County. I warded off a cold. All of these things I could not have done without the added/continued placenta therapy support using my tincture. I have heard that moms find themselves spacing out their precious capsules and not getting the full benefits of them knowing they work but are afraid about when they will run out. I would advise anyone who reads this to absolutely get the tincture." Lisa O. 5/13
"Hi Linda, I really took the placenta pills to the test when my oldest daughter got the flu immediately after the birth of Payton. I could see myself becoming overwhelmed and emotional worrying about being a good mother to both, but when I finally did begin my pills it brought me right back to me within a half hour. I was clear and full of energy. I have since taken them routinely throughout the day, but sometimes get taken away from where they are set out and am not as timely. My husband can tell when he walks in the door if I have had my pills or not, and reminds me himself to be vigilant! With my 1st I still feel guilty for just crying all of the time thinking my child was making me crazy, when in fact, it was my body missing what is so essential in the whole process. A restoration of balance. I am so grateful for experiencing this and I can't wait to tell the next pregnant person all about this. It has honestly made a world of difference. I am so looking forward to using the tincture and so happy I did get it because I would be worried to run out of the pills. It must be an amazing feeling to be providing such a wonderful remedy for mothers. It truly does center yourself back and gives you the ability to be the mother your heart desires. I can't thank you enough for your special gift." Haley W.B. 2/19/13
"As a 3rd time mother I decided it was time to try placenta therapy and I am so happy I did. In fact I'm so happy, that I'm disappointed I didn't take advantage of it sooner. When I was pregnant with my first, I didn't even know it existed. When I was pregnant with my second, I thought it was strange and didn't look into it. With my third baby I knew so much more about it, the benefits and the process.
Taking the placenta pills made me feel even and happy. In my previous two experiences in the postpartum season I was overwhelmed, sad, feeling guilty and ill equipped. It was so hard meeting 100% of this new little person's needs while I was recovering physically and so up and down emotionally. Taking my placenta pills after my third birth kept these feelings manageable which made my whole recovery easier and actually enjoyable. Placenta therapy has made me a better mother, not just for my newborn, but for my older daughters as well. I could tell they were working when at first I took more than I needed and felt a little jittery! As the days passed I found the right dosage for me and just felt... good. I also knew they were working when I would miss a dose and it was so evident my husband would say, "You didn't take your happy pill today, did you?" I was lucky enough to have a large placenta, and therefore, have extra pills, So I still take them when I feel like I need some balancing again......When other women ask me about my experience and whether or not they should do it too, I find it hard to articulate why it is just so wonderful. But I'm getting better at it and now what I tell them is: 'This is a non-pharmaceutical way to make you a better mom and a happy person in one of the most challenging seasons of your life.' Placenta therapy is a precious gift we can give ourselves and our families!" Nicole G. 1/31/13 (Bradley Instructor)
"Merry Christmas to you and your family! Thank you so much for the placenta tablets. They make a world of difference. They keep me out of the 'weepy place'. I'm wondering if the tincture will be ready soon?" "Thank you for bringing the tincture to my house today! What a wonderful service you provide." Melissa K. 12/23/12
"HUGE difference from first postpartum to second baby postpartum! I was crying countless times after the 'babymoon' throughout the entire newborn stage with my first son! This time, I have felt phenomenal with mental clarity the whole way through. This time I can remember and count on one hand how many times I cried from hormones or frustration. Just finished capsules at six weeks and looking forward to trying my tincture. Thank God and thank you my friend." Vanessa R. 12/8/12
"How! I feel great and have for the last two days since starting my capsules (had to wait 72 hours to receive placenta due to hospital policy and then an additional day for the encapsulation) . My partner walked into the room the first night after I had been taking them and said he felt a huge energy shift around me and that he felt like I am "back". Ha ha! Before he was against the thought of it but he apologized for giving me ___ and said he was going to make sure his sister does the same in January when she gives birth. I'll give her your number." Sarah C. 12/6/12
"The placenta pills were amazing! I don't have anything to compare my experience to, but I was feeling great right away and have more milk than my baby knows what do to with. I'm so happy that we chose to do encapsulation with you! Looking forward to using my tincture." Valerie C. 11/27/12
"Hi Linda, I just wanted to let you know how deeply grateful I am for your encapsulation services. I feel that taking the placenta pills was a big contribution to my successful post labor healing........With Hoag’s 72 hours placenta release policy, I wasn’t able to get the placenta pills immediately and I could feel the baby blues coming on. I am so thankful you were quick to pick up and drop off the pills right away, as I could already feel the difference in my mood after taking the first few pills. There were a few days every now and again that I would get moody, but I noticed it was when I would forget to take my pills. I can’t imagine what my mood would have been like if I didn’t have them at all!,,,,,,..Overall, I have positive feelings about my labor and my post labor healing, which helped me focus on my baby and bond more with her.........Even though I was still taking it easy, I felt like I was “back to normal” two weeks after giving birth. Now after 5 weeks have passed, I feel amazing! I’ve been recommending placenta encapsulation to family and friends, hoping to get the word out about the positive effects it brings to mamas!........Thank you so much for the print too! (My mom loved her print as well!) It’s a great reminder of how powerful the body is and how amazing pregnancy is. Again, thank you so much for everything! Sincerely," Melissa and Brooke C. 9/26/12
"I feel wonderful which I definitely think can be attributed to the placenta, I'm so happy I chose to go this route." J. P. (9/5/12)
"LInda's prints are amazing!!! Much more than we expected." M. B. (9/6/12)
"RE: Magic Pills........Hi Linda, I just wanted to drop you a quick note and thank you for doing the placenta encapsulation for me. After experiencing it first hand, I cannot speak highly enough about the benefits! I don't know what things would have been like without it and I have no desire to find out! Thank you!" N. D. 8/11/12
"I just had to text you tonight. I feel so good and I know it is the capsules. Thank you for getting them to me so fast. I cherish the prints. Can't wait for the tincture!". H. H.
'Met with a mom to deliver her tincture today. She was surprised at the quantity and so grateful she not only encapsulated but had the tincture made for continuous help now and long into the future. She admitted that she has a history of depression in general and was nervous about the hormonal and life changes that birthing brings. With relief she said she has had no signs of depression during these first two weeks and attributes starting taking the capsules immediately following birth to warding off any potentials. She reminded me to tell a portion of her birth story because she wants to help get a good word out for Hoag Hospital, Newport Beach! She was a transfer patient from a birthing center, not urgently so, but needed the hospital's and a doctor's medical help. Dr. Charles Moniak of Hoag Hospital, was "amazing". He cooperated with their every care plan wish AND went above and beyond writing a specific order that their placenta be released immediately following birth for encapsulation and tincture purposes. The hospital policy is that the placenta remain for 72 hours but with a doctor's order it was possible to be done specific to the patient's rights/wishes. Having suffered throughout her life from depression, this mom was banking on the immediate benefits of placenta therapy. The Nursing care was immeasurably "the best". She felt she simply handed them her birth plan and they did not deviate one cm from it. She and her husband were free to relax and enjoy their birth. So happy to have this hospital, Dr. Moniak and the Labor and Delivery nurses in our community.' Written by Linda as told by C. L.
"Hi Linda. I'm feeling fantastic. I'm calling my placenta pills my 'postpartum elation pills'. The few tears I've shed have all been out of pure happiness. T and I were in the same Bradley Method class. I asked her how encapsulation worked for her prior to making my final decision. Obviously she advocated for it!" K.C.
"Hi Linda, thank you so much for your response and I am sorry for my late one! This decision got lost in the craziness of getting everything ready for the little guy. I was due on September 13th, so he could come any day now. Do you have room for us on your calendar? If so, I will get your check in the mail. Thank you so much for making this service available to mommies." Amanda M. 9/18
"Linda, thank you so much for the placenta artwork and umbilical cord heart keepsake. Those two things were not "must haves" when we were shopping around but I am so grateful to have them now and will cherish them for years to come! Also, not only did you turn around the placenta capsules quickly, you have been extremely delightful to work with-Thank You! Take care and talk soon when tincture is done brewing :) " Ashleigh M. 5/18
"Hi Linda, How are you? I can't believe it's been 3.5 years since we last spoke! I remember meeting you at the Spectrum to pick up my placenta pills after Andrew was born! Time flies! I am writing to check to see if you are still doing placenta encapsulation and if so, to ask the current price and to reserve my spot. I am due with my third! baby boy at the end of May/early June. Hope all is well and I look forward to hearing from you soon! Best" Nicole D. 2/24/18
"Hi Linda, my name is Victoria. You did my placenta encapsulation and tincture for my first pregnancy over two years ago now! And now I’m preparing for baby number 2! We are expecting our second boy around May 2nd. I wanted to know if you are able to provide services then. We are going to be birthing at Beach Cities Midwifery in Laguna Niguel. Let me know! " Victoria T. 2/19/18
"Hi Linda, Goldie received her packages just now and was so impressed by everything we have just put a check in the mail for $>> to thank you.

"Thank you for everything. The pills are great for energy. I'm so glad I have them and the artwork is really cool! I never want them to run out. Katie S. 9/17/16 (Note from me: Don't worry or hoard them. Your tincture is doing "it's thing" as we speak and will get to you just in time.)
"Hi Linda, I hope this finds you well! I wanted to reach out to see if you would please like to do my placenta encapsulation again now that I'm due with my second? I was very happy with the results from the first encapsulation you did for me in 2013 and so I wanted to reach out to you again this time around! I am due soon and am planning to birth at Beach Cities Midwifery again with Tammy as our doula. Can you please remind me of your pricing for the capsules and the tincture? Someone recently mentioned a salve that is made from the placenta as well-do you know anything about that? Hope to hear from you soon and that you can join us once again for this awesome birth journey!" Diana S 8/17/16
"I absolutely love my placenta capsules! The decision to encapsulate my placenta for my third pregnancy was one of the best decisions. I have noticed a huge difference in not only my overall mood, but my energy level has been incredible, my milk supply has increased and my newborn has been my calmest baby. I wish I would have known the benefits of placenta encapsulation with my first two pregnancies as my postpartum experience has been much easier this time around. I would highly recommend placenta encapsulation to any new mamas as the benefits have truly been amazing! Thank you so much Linda for such an amazing job with my placenta and the beautiful prints! I am so excited to try my tincture in a few weeks." Mattie E. 8/18/16
"So happy you can help us with the encapsulation and tincture again. I love the tincture. I feel like it is so valuable. I am so glad that you make it. Sincerely,"Kylee M. 7/21/16
"This is AMAZING. Wow. I love it so so so much. I wanted to thank you for doing these wonderful things for us. I can actually feel a difference with the pills every day. Less emotional. More peaceful. Wow. Thank you for blessing us Linda!!" Esther F-J 7/9/16
"We got the packages today!! Thank you. I love the heart shaped umbilical cord and pictures. Such amazing things to share with Cameron once he's old enough to truly appreciate them. You do excellent work!! If we are blessed with a second child one day we will do this again. After taking my first dose my husband offered for me to rest but am feeling fine so he's taking one first. Will take my second dose soon. Thank you for everything you have done for us and said to me. I would love to help other moms by my comments. I hope you are having a good weekend so far!!" Karen K. 6/18/16
"Loving my placenta capsules! They really work. I was really weepy after my firstborn but I think these have kept the blues away this time. Looking forward to the tincture." Katelyn C. 12/23/15
"Thank you for being so thoughtful and caring! I am so glad I invested in my health and wellness through your outstanding service! I am definitely going to spread the word about you to all of my new mama friends!" Mandee G. 11/21/15
"The capsules are great! I notice it at night when I need to be alert for the baby. Feeling great. Others moms are so shocked by my mood and energy. My husband even commented and said "How are you not tired right now? I'm exhausted!" I said, "Maybe it's the capsules" and he laughed and said, "Can I have one? Thank you so much! Excited for the tincture." Victoria T. 11/13/15
"The prints are absolutely beautiful! I am feeling much better these days and am taking 2 capsules 3x a day. I forgot to take them this afternoon and was quite lethargic. Took them and a nap waking up with a much needed burst of energy :)" Melissa P. 11/3/15
"Dear Linda, thank you so much for doing a fantastic job with my placenta. We LOVE the print you made...the pills are working their magic, and, I absolutely adore the necklace you gifted me...it's perfect. You are a gem and I am so grateful we connected. Thank you for helping us have such a wonderful postpartum chapter. Ezra thanks you as well. All our love, Terra, David, Ashton and Ezra"
Terra J. 9/12/15
"Hi Linda! I just wanted to write you a note to tell you what a difference the tincture has made for me. It's changed my life! After I finished the capsules in 3 weeks, I felt some postpardum depression creep up on me. I was considering medication but I'm breastfeeding and really didn't want to go that route. I got my tincture just in time. I started feeling better immediately. I would describe it as feeling calm and balanced yet energetic. I wish I had it with my first child! Even my husband and friends noticed a difference. My husband said to never stop taking it :) Thank you so much! I'm glad I will have it for my daughter and the menopausal years😊. Love"
Stephanie L. 8/25/15
"Hi Linda, I've been using the tincture for awhile now and must say I am so grateful for it! I completely understand what you meant when you said it would have a "cooling" effect. It gives me a nice mellow feeling when I use it but I still feel as though I have energy to burn. It was certainly a wonder to have on our recent road trip and as life starts to speed up. Thank you so much for everything! I'll be sending all my friends your way when the start their families. Hope you are having a wonderful week." Cris L. 4/29/15
"Hi Linda, I know that my husband has been the one talking to you through all of this because I went into labor before we officially signed up with you, but I wanted to call and say 'thank you for everything'. I have three sets of friends who are looking for someone to do their placenta therapy so I definitely would love to give them your information and let them know about you. Again, I wanted to call and say 'thank you for doing this for me and sorry that we didn't get to see each other THIS TIME!" Nicole L. 3/11/15
"Dear Linda, I am thrilled to have your love and care for our baby's placenta. This time we would like to please have the encapsulation and tincture. Thank you!" Liz E. 2/24/15
"Loving the capsules! I have so much energy, zero baby blues and my fourth baby boy has been the calmest easiest baby so far. Thanks for checking in and blessings!" Ashley C. 2/23/15
"Placenta encapsulation was one of the best decisions I made for managing postpartum emotions after my second baby. I knew that I would need all the help I could get in order to best care for myself, my busy three-year old, and my newborn. Linda delivered my placenta pills within 24 hours, and I immediately saw and felt the benefits of them. I had more energy, I was more stable, and felt more confident in my ability to care for my family, rather than the emotional spikes I felt after my first baby. (If only I had known about the benefits of placenta encapsulation with my first!!) I also opted to get the placenta tincture, because...why not? If the pills worked, then having an unlimited supply seemed to make sense. I have since used the tincture for days when I feel particularly stressed or just "under the weather". I have used it for my daughter to help boost her body when she had a cold. My newborn is a champion sleeper, which means that my period returned around 2 1/2 months postpartum. I took the tincture each day of my period and had extremely mild symptoms, no cramping, and felt more balanced emotionally. I recommend both the encapsulation and tincture to all of my friends, and have even given the gift of placenta tincture to one of my mama friends. It's the gift that keeps on giving -- literally."

"Encapsulation (including husband's observations): My lord! I cant possibly rave enough about how incredible my Placenta encapsulation was! It was so great in fact, that I became stingy with my pills in fear that I would run out (bad choice...)! As a new mother of two, I was very nervous about how I was going to cope. I mean, with my first child if I was feeling a little blue I could take a nap and get in those 'oh so wonderful newborn cuddles'. But with two kids, how the heck was I going to keep up! That's where the Placenta Encapsulation came in! I started taking my pills the 2nd day after birth, and I could immediately feel a dramatic difference in myself. I was up making my bed in the hospital, chatting with every person that came into the room, cracking jokes and really truly enjoying those first few moments with my new family of 4. My placenta pills assisted me in being present in the moment. I wasn't worried about my lack of makeup, messy hair, or lack of modesty. I was so immersed with the beauty of what was my newborn. What a gift. Throughout my postpartum period, my placenta encapsulation was my life saver! The change in me was so apparent, that my husband could literally tell if I skipped a few of my pills! They gave me more energy, boosted my mood, helped with lactation, and made me feel overall just better. My mind was clearer and they chased away my baby blues. I would recommend a placenta encapsulation to any expecting mother, because I really don't know how I would have gotten through my postpartum period without it!
Now about the tincture: Once I was nearing the end of my placenta encapsulation, I was getting nervous about loosing that 'feel good' feeling my pills gave me. That's when my Placenta Tincture came in! Not only did it help me, but it makes a huge difference in my newborn! When he has really bad gas or growing pains it seems to help him within a minute or two. The thing I love about it is that I can continuously add to it throughout my life and it can actually assist my children and I for years to come! I love the idea that when my daughter hits puberty, it can help balance out her hormones and in turn make raising a teenager easier! My tincture actually seems to work stronger and faster than my placenta pills did. It has a warming effect that seems to help me when I need a little pep in my step or if I am having a hard day. I am unbelievably grateful I decided to get a placenta tincture as well along with my placenta encapsulation!" Morgan B. 3/27/14 (Follow-up)
"I took my capsules and my baby with me back to the hospital when I was readmitted because of high blood pressure. This is my second pregnancy and I was counting on encapsulation helping me emotionally. I was able to deal well with my medical condition and the necessary rehospitalized, and am coping much differently altogether than my first birth. I am really happy to say my milk supply is wonderful despite all the stressors and I know it is because of the help with the capsules." Jillian C . 3/22/14
"I just wanted to take a moment to thank you. My placenta "happy" pills are so far amazing! I've been taking 3 pills, 3 times a day and I've been feeling better each day. I sort of want to scream from the rooftops "I'm consuming my placenta and it's awesome!!!!!". Hahaha! Again, just thank you so much! Also, my placenta prints and umbilical chord heart are beautiful!!!! The placenta prints really do look like a tree!! I'm just trying to figure out where I want them. Any suggestions? I'm just overwhelmed with how fantastic your services have been for me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I absolutely can not wait for my tincture in a few weeks!" Morgan B. 2/7/14
"Hi Linda! I hope you've had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! This is Joanne and you provided placenta encapsulation for me a little over two years ago. You were so sweet and helpful and the placenta pills helped me immensely as I was not only recovering from having my son, but adjusting to major move from one coast to the other. I'm writing because I'm due with baby #2 on the 25th and I'd love to know if your encapsulation services are still available and if the rate is still the same. Thank you for your time and I hope that all is going well for you! Peace and blessings." Joanne and James 1/7/14
"Hi Linda, thank you so much! On a moments notice you did this. Thank you... Momma and Baby Anthony and me appreciate it. Things are going good. I'm doing my best to keep mom eating good and taking her capsules! We'll keep in touch, love..."
Aaron and Michelle H. 12/17/13
"I will write a proper review soon but I wanted you to share my text in the meantime...'Hi Linda, I am feeling great!! People can't believe how well I am recovering! Breastfeeding is going well! Today I had a lactation consultant visit. As she was leaving she stopped and said, "Can I just say, you seem very upbeat and energized. Most moms are a little emotional but you look and sound great." I told her I encapsulated my placenta and she was impressed. I truly believe if I didn't have them (capsules), I would be in a bad place now. I was struggling with the unexpected C-Section and having a hard time feeding baby." Katie J. 11/14/13
"So glad to hear you are bringing my tincture today! Have been out of capsules since Tuesday and feeling irritable. This is the first time with the tincture and I know it's stronger. Will keep you posted." Maura C. 10/18/13
"My capsules worked really well for me, And, just like you said my husband would walk in, see me overwhelmed, and then come back carrying capsules. For me I noticed their effect within 20 minutes or less. It was a real challenge having received the wonderful news that the adoption we had applied for had been approved and our daughter was coming to be with us, only to find out right around that exact time that I was pregnant! Settling a very young toddler into our home of two dogs, three cats, and some fish along with the "impossible" pregnancy was so much to handle. I had a hard time even imagining what postpartum would be like. I am so grateful that I chose to do the encapsulation and tincture. I know I need and will use the tincture immediately. I will write you my experiences with that." Lisa O. 10/17/13
"Hi Linda, I just bought these cards so I could send you a thank note. I am very pleased with the placenta capsules as well as our whole experience with you. You were great to work with and made the whole placenta exchange so easy. It was seamless.Thanks so much for showing up at 5 am at the hospital and also for your quick delivery of the pills to the hospital the next morning. Our watercolor print is beautiful...much better than I expected. The capsules are amazing and are doing just what they are intended to do...making me feel great. So great and energetic that I cut down to 5 pills a day since I had so much energy! We had a wonderful experience and truly are pleased with your services. Many thanks Aimee and James." Aimee W. 10/15/13
"Hi Linda, we are doing well. Our little Sofia only had to spend 3 days in the NICU so we were home by that Monday. Since then we have all just been adjusting to a newborn in the house. I can't say enough about the capsules! I can see and feel such a difference in my overall well- being than what I felt when I had my son, plus they really helped with my milk production! I'm able to breastfeed and produce enough to keep my little one happy. My husband also notices a difference in my attitude this time around and he wishes he could take a couple to help him on the difficult days. Looking forward to getting my tincture on the 20th." Claudia B. 9/3/13
"I gave birth to my son in June 2013 at home. Everything went well, except I wasn't expecting to have pelvic separation (Symphasis Pubis Dysfunction) from the water birthing. From the next day I was not able to walk because the pain was excruciating when I moved any part of my body. With this inability to walk, trying to breastfeed as a first time mom and all the million concerns I had with my newborn, I was having a very rough postpartum. I received my placenta pills immediately and started to take them. I'm not sure how I would've functioned if I didn't take them. My husband would call them "happy pills" and would make me take them whenever I would seem depressed or stressed. I would've gone "nuts" if it weren't for the placenta pills that helped me stay balanced. My husband even noticed my mood when I have and haven't taken the placenta pills. Thank you Linda for supporting mothers with their postpartum! I bought the tincture as well and am excited to try it when needed. Thanks again!!! Take care, Emily" Emily H. 8/27/13
"I was told by my midwives to wait until my milk supply quieted down (day 3-4) before starting my capsules since my initial milk supply was more than plentiful and they were unsure of how my body would be affected by the placenta capsules related to breast milk production. Because of this, I had a good opportunity to see and feel the difference in my hormones, mood and coping skills while waiting to be able to use them restoratively. Before the capsules, I was a bit of a roller coaster emotionally ready to cry on and off. Not in sadness but just everything being so new along with the fact that I need a great bit of physical healing from the birth process.Truly, though, it was my husband who noticed my needs before they escalated too far. When on my own at times I felt overwhelmed and emotional. He was the one who proactively made them available to me when he was around and encouraged me to remember to routinely take them when he wasn't. This is our first baby and I am so very glad I did chose to use personal placenta therapy arranging for the capsules and life-long follow-up tincture to be a part of my birth plan. I am a real believer in their restorative benefits. I appreciated Linda's service so much. We love our watercolor paper prints and umbilical cord keepsake." Bethany N. 8/22/13
"I am so relieved and grateful I ordered the tincture as insurance, which I had prepared in vodka, after having experienced the undeniable beneficial affects of my capsules. This is my first child. Absolutely everything was new to me. I recovered from an unplanned emergent C-Section. I was exhausted the first few weeks trying to remember to eat and sleep. We bought and sold houses. We had out of town guests. We flew to visit family far from Orange County. I warded off a cold. All of these things I could not have done without the added/continued placenta therapy support using my tincture. I have heard that moms find themselves spacing out their precious capsules and not getting the full benefits of them knowing they work but are afraid about when they will run out. I would advise anyone who reads this to absolutely get the tincture." Lisa O. 5/13
"Hi Linda, I really took the placenta pills to the test when my oldest daughter got the flu immediately after the birth of Payton. I could see myself becoming overwhelmed and emotional worrying about being a good mother to both, but when I finally did begin my pills it brought me right back to me within a half hour. I was clear and full of energy. I have since taken them routinely throughout the day, but sometimes get taken away from where they are set out and am not as timely. My husband can tell when he walks in the door if I have had my pills or not, and reminds me himself to be vigilant! With my 1st I still feel guilty for just crying all of the time thinking my child was making me crazy, when in fact, it was my body missing what is so essential in the whole process. A restoration of balance. I am so grateful for experiencing this and I can't wait to tell the next pregnant person all about this. It has honestly made a world of difference. I am so looking forward to using the tincture and so happy I did get it because I would be worried to run out of the pills. It must be an amazing feeling to be providing such a wonderful remedy for mothers. It truly does center yourself back and gives you the ability to be the mother your heart desires. I can't thank you enough for your special gift." Haley W.B. 2/19/13
"As a 3rd time mother I decided it was time to try placenta therapy and I am so happy I did. In fact I'm so happy, that I'm disappointed I didn't take advantage of it sooner. When I was pregnant with my first, I didn't even know it existed. When I was pregnant with my second, I thought it was strange and didn't look into it. With my third baby I knew so much more about it, the benefits and the process.
Taking the placenta pills made me feel even and happy. In my previous two experiences in the postpartum season I was overwhelmed, sad, feeling guilty and ill equipped. It was so hard meeting 100% of this new little person's needs while I was recovering physically and so up and down emotionally. Taking my placenta pills after my third birth kept these feelings manageable which made my whole recovery easier and actually enjoyable. Placenta therapy has made me a better mother, not just for my newborn, but for my older daughters as well. I could tell they were working when at first I took more than I needed and felt a little jittery! As the days passed I found the right dosage for me and just felt... good. I also knew they were working when I would miss a dose and it was so evident my husband would say, "You didn't take your happy pill today, did you?" I was lucky enough to have a large placenta, and therefore, have extra pills, So I still take them when I feel like I need some balancing again......When other women ask me about my experience and whether or not they should do it too, I find it hard to articulate why it is just so wonderful. But I'm getting better at it and now what I tell them is: 'This is a non-pharmaceutical way to make you a better mom and a happy person in one of the most challenging seasons of your life.' Placenta therapy is a precious gift we can give ourselves and our families!" Nicole G. 1/31/13 (Bradley Instructor)
"Merry Christmas to you and your family! Thank you so much for the placenta tablets. They make a world of difference. They keep me out of the 'weepy place'. I'm wondering if the tincture will be ready soon?" "Thank you for bringing the tincture to my house today! What a wonderful service you provide." Melissa K. 12/23/12
"HUGE difference from first postpartum to second baby postpartum! I was crying countless times after the 'babymoon' throughout the entire newborn stage with my first son! This time, I have felt phenomenal with mental clarity the whole way through. This time I can remember and count on one hand how many times I cried from hormones or frustration. Just finished capsules at six weeks and looking forward to trying my tincture. Thank God and thank you my friend." Vanessa R. 12/8/12
"How! I feel great and have for the last two days since starting my capsules (had to wait 72 hours to receive placenta due to hospital policy and then an additional day for the encapsulation) . My partner walked into the room the first night after I had been taking them and said he felt a huge energy shift around me and that he felt like I am "back". Ha ha! Before he was against the thought of it but he apologized for giving me ___ and said he was going to make sure his sister does the same in January when she gives birth. I'll give her your number." Sarah C. 12/6/12
"The placenta pills were amazing! I don't have anything to compare my experience to, but I was feeling great right away and have more milk than my baby knows what do to with. I'm so happy that we chose to do encapsulation with you! Looking forward to using my tincture." Valerie C. 11/27/12
"Hi Linda, I just wanted to let you know how deeply grateful I am for your encapsulation services. I feel that taking the placenta pills was a big contribution to my successful post labor healing........With Hoag’s 72 hours placenta release policy, I wasn’t able to get the placenta pills immediately and I could feel the baby blues coming on. I am so thankful you were quick to pick up and drop off the pills right away, as I could already feel the difference in my mood after taking the first few pills. There were a few days every now and again that I would get moody, but I noticed it was when I would forget to take my pills. I can’t imagine what my mood would have been like if I didn’t have them at all!,,,,,,..Overall, I have positive feelings about my labor and my post labor healing, which helped me focus on my baby and bond more with her.........Even though I was still taking it easy, I felt like I was “back to normal” two weeks after giving birth. Now after 5 weeks have passed, I feel amazing! I’ve been recommending placenta encapsulation to family and friends, hoping to get the word out about the positive effects it brings to mamas!........Thank you so much for the print too! (My mom loved her print as well!) It’s a great reminder of how powerful the body is and how amazing pregnancy is. Again, thank you so much for everything! Sincerely," Melissa and Brooke C. 9/26/12
"I feel wonderful which I definitely think can be attributed to the placenta, I'm so happy I chose to go this route." J. P. (9/5/12)
"LInda's prints are amazing!!! Much more than we expected." M. B. (9/6/12)
"RE: Magic Pills........Hi Linda, I just wanted to drop you a quick note and thank you for doing the placenta encapsulation for me. After experiencing it first hand, I cannot speak highly enough about the benefits! I don't know what things would have been like without it and I have no desire to find out! Thank you!" N. D. 8/11/12
"I just had to text you tonight. I feel so good and I know it is the capsules. Thank you for getting them to me so fast. I cherish the prints. Can't wait for the tincture!". H. H.
'Met with a mom to deliver her tincture today. She was surprised at the quantity and so grateful she not only encapsulated but had the tincture made for continuous help now and long into the future. She admitted that she has a history of depression in general and was nervous about the hormonal and life changes that birthing brings. With relief she said she has had no signs of depression during these first two weeks and attributes starting taking the capsules immediately following birth to warding off any potentials. She reminded me to tell a portion of her birth story because she wants to help get a good word out for Hoag Hospital, Newport Beach! She was a transfer patient from a birthing center, not urgently so, but needed the hospital's and a doctor's medical help. Dr. Charles Moniak of Hoag Hospital, was "amazing". He cooperated with their every care plan wish AND went above and beyond writing a specific order that their placenta be released immediately following birth for encapsulation and tincture purposes. The hospital policy is that the placenta remain for 72 hours but with a doctor's order it was possible to be done specific to the patient's rights/wishes. Having suffered throughout her life from depression, this mom was banking on the immediate benefits of placenta therapy. The Nursing care was immeasurably "the best". She felt she simply handed them her birth plan and they did not deviate one cm from it. She and her husband were free to relax and enjoy their birth. So happy to have this hospital, Dr. Moniak and the Labor and Delivery nurses in our community.' Written by Linda as told by C. L.
"Hi Linda. I'm feeling fantastic. I'm calling my placenta pills my 'postpartum elation pills'. The few tears I've shed have all been out of pure happiness. T and I were in the same Bradley Method class. I asked her how encapsulation worked for her prior to making my final decision. Obviously she advocated for it!" K.C.
"Hello, Linda, it's Lauren L. Thank you again for the pills and the beautiful picture! I hope you are well! Emily and mommy appreciate it so much! My milk came in two days ago and I feel high on my daughter, so I would say the pills are working! I went into labor at 8:00 pm on April 18th and delivered at 8:36pm on April 19th. 24 and a half hours of natural childbirth. Not one chemical intervention. Our first 5/6 days together have been incredible. She is such a calm happy baby, so I am such a calm, well-tested, anxiety-free mommy. Dan is on cloud nine." Lauren L..
"Hi Linda! The past month has really flown by. It feels like only a couple of weeks since Cameron was born! I had been working on my testimonial a little at a time. Thank you again for the wonderful service! It was worth every penny! Here's what I would like to say to anyone considering encapsulation and Linda's service: 'Having my placenta encapsulated was undoubtedly the best thing I did for my postpartum recovery. Linda came personally to my home to pick up my placenta, as I had a home birth. She was wonderful to meet – she is a very sweet person, and I enjoyed chatting with her. The very next day she returned with the pills and I started to see immediate positive effects on my body and mood. I noticed my uterine contractions during nursing seemed to become more effective and went back to its pre-pregnancy size within three weeks of starting the pills. Also, the lochia flow became less heavy and much more manageable. Probably the best effect my placenta pills had were on my emotional state. I was able to maintain a very positive, upbeat attitude during the most exhausting few weeks of my life, caring for my newborn son. I noticed on a few occasions I became weepy, and was reminded that I was late taking my “Happy Pills”, as my husband likes to call them. He even found himself wishing he had his own! Overall, I couldn’t recommend Linda’s placenta encapsulation service enough. She is really doing a wonderful thing – enabling new mothers to enjoy their new babies through one of nature’s finest gifts to mothers – the placenta. (She also made a tincture, but I haven’t had a chance to try it yet). I will be giving Linda’s business cards to my pregnant friends and using her services again if I have an y future children.' Thank you Linda!". C. L. and Cameron
"Dear Linda, thank you so much for being such an incredible positive light during my birth experience. I am so grateful you were there to support and encourage me. I cannot thank you enough for the beautiful print and for your work with my placenta. I know we will cherish the print for years to come and the encapsulation is something I have recommended to every expecting mama I meet. All my love," A. L.
"Thank you so much! I am so happy with the pills and I cried with happiness when I saw the cord and print. I feel energetic and happy!" T. R.
"I took a long time deciding whether to do placenta therapy since the idea was so new to me. It wasn't until almost two weeks before my estimated date of birth that I decided to have both the encapsulation and tincture made, based on my personal research. When I called Linda I told her that it just seemed like the placenta was the hub of all hormonal activity and the natural thing for me to do afterall. I am now almost two weeks postpartum and the word I would use for how I feel is "even". With my son I remember feeling either very high or very low. I like how I am feeling this time and have had some things happen since our daughter was born that previously might have caused me to be anxious, uptight or to over-react. I feel positive when I talk about this therapy with anyone interested and highly recommend that they investigate it for themselves because my experience has been so positive." C. L.
"I was thinking about writing you! We are all doing very well. The jaundice is gone, breastfeeding is going so much better and the placenta capsules have been very helpful! Within a few days of coming home I got a bit weepy and a little overwhelmed and the capsules definitely helped to balance me." J. L.
"One of my biggest concerns towards the end of my pregnancy, like most women's, was "What comes next?". I was excited, I was ready, I was nervous, and I was thinking about what the future had in store. I wanted to make sure I could do whatever I could to be on my "A game" when my sweet baby girl, Gracelyn arrived. I have a very long history of depression, and this was a concern for me from the start. When a friend told me about placenta encapsulation, I admit, I was both intrigued and in shock. "People really eat their own placentas?" I thought. I decided to do some research and was so amazed at the findings. Vegetarian mammals eat their own placentas, people have been reaping the health benefits for thousands of years, the risk of PPD is close to none - I was so excited. It just made sense, that this organ that I grew, that had 9 months worth of hormones and nutrients that was instantly being depleted from my body, would make me go out of wack and join the ranks of other post pregnancy women. It was logical to me, that if I gave my body back those natural hormones and nutrients I myself created, I would be rejuvenated! I kid you not, my daughter, who turned a week old two days ago, has a mommy on her full blown "A game". I feel so alive and amazing. I'm a single mom and I was out, showered, with make-up on 3 days ago. I feel so calm and focused and I'm so grateful this service is offered to women because I really feel like I am giving my daughter the best me possible, and I know all moms need that after having a baby! People who come up and oo and aww at my baby and find out she is just over a week old are in shock I am out and about, let alone have a huge smile on my face! I feel focused and alive. PPD is nowhere in sight for me and I am so grateful to Linda for this. If anything, I have Postpartum Elation! We are so happy and in love. The happiness is definitely in large part due to the placenta pills. Thank You So Much for what you do!!!! It is an amazing service that means so much and truly helps women and their new families through new uncharted territory. You are such a blessing." H. G.
"When I first heard about placental encapsulation I thought it sounded bizarre but intriguing. I wondered why most mammals ingest their placentas after birth and why some other cultures, such as the Chinese, have been practicing it for centuries as well. I knew that there must be something to it. With the encouragement of my husband (who wanted to make a placenta soup) I thought, why not try? So I arranged for my placenta to be encapsulated and I am so happy that I did. Although I didn't have a previous birth to compare it to, I experienced no form of the "baby blues", my milk was ample right from the start and I also felt my recovery was fast; all proposed benefits of ingesting the placenta. I felt good knowing that I did everything I could to stay away from needing prescription drugs for any kind of postpartum depression. Ingesting my own placenta that was perfectly designed to meet the needs of my body was the best thing I could do." K. M.
"Things are going really well! I'm feeling good, nursing is going great, and D. is just a joy. So it's just been very enjoyable this time, which, is exactly what I was hoping for with placenta encapsulation. My doula recommended placenta therapy to me after I mentioned the difficult postpartum I experienced with my first son. At first I was a little unsure about the whole idea; however, if it could help, I was willing to give it a try, and I'm so glad I did! I feel so much better than I did after my first was born, and I would like to think placenta encapsulation has had something to do with that. I loved meeting you and am very happy with the service you provide. I would recommend you and placenta therapy to everyone :)" J. K.
"I am currently a midwife assistant and have seen firsthand the benefits of placenta therapy. I have made a pact with my daughter that we will share her placenta and I will tincture for my own menopause support." J. M.
