I am the Placenta Encapsulation Specialist with Labor of Love. I began encapsulating placentas in 2010, after the birth of my third daughter when I encapsulated my own, although I had been in the birth community since 2006 as a birth doula.  At the time there were very few specialists in the area, and my midwife asked if she could give my name to other clients.  I started getting calls and decided to do some formal training.  As of late 2018 I have encapsulated over a thousand placentas for parents that are both in the metro Atlanta area and nationwide.

I trained as an encapsulation specialist with Placenta Benefits and Full Circle Certification.  I hold certificates in Blood Borne Pathogens and GA Food Handling.  I also have a degree in biology and a professional background in both biology and chemistry.  I utilize my background by taking a very clinical approach to my job.  Unique among specialists in the area, I process placentas in a dedicated workspace built specifically for encapsulation, rather than in a kitchen where other food is handled.  I strictly follow OSHA standards for sanitization and use specialized equipment chosen specifically for its ability to be broken down and properly sanitized.   I focus on raising the standard in Placenta Encapsulation services and bringing the highest quality to my work.
