Shanti Placenta & Birth Services (Birmingham, Alabama)

Labor doula, and placenta therapy, services can help to make the period of time, of pregnancy and Motherhood, one of balance and bliss.

Childbirth is one of the most transformative experiences of a woman’s life, and should be a time during which she is well-informed, given choice, empowered and unconditionally loved. Physical, emotional and spiritual support factors are of the utmost importance.

The placenta is an amazing organ that supports your baby in utero. It is a mediator of the life flow between mother and baby during pregnancy, and also has great restorative power to assist you with your postpartum recovery. It contains many vital nutrients including iron, protein, vitamin B6, and the many hormones it excreted during pregnancy. Just as it supports and nourishes baby during pregnancy, the placenta, when carefully prepared for consumption, nourishes the postpartum mother as well.

Every woman should have the opportunity to experience childbirth, and postpartum, surrounded by love, support and balance. It is my pleasure to assist you during labor, and in preparing your placenta, to help bring you serenity and peace.
