Hello, agus Failte gu an lens agam! (Welcome to my lens!)
My name is Laura McDonald and I am the mother of a beautiful little girl, Maude, born in October 2009. While pregnant, my husband encouraged me to research and pursue placenta encapsulation due to the enormous natural health benefits; we enlisted the services of our local PBi specialist who was so gracious to encapsulate our placenta on such short notice. While she was working her magic, I absolutely fell head over heels with the science behind the encapsulation, leading my quest to become certified to encapsulate placentas for other women.
Quite honestly, when my husband suggested we look into encapsulating our placenta, I have to admit I was a little hesitant due to the ‘ewww’ factor. I thought this would entail raw consumption, and in my difficult pregnancy, I was not really for trying something so unique. After giving birth and succumbing to my husband’s persistence, we enlisted the services of our local PE Specialist and we could not be more ecstatic with the results!
As a military officer and combat war veteran, I did not anticipate my pregnancy to be so difficult--physically, mentally, and emotionally. A few days after giving birth, I started the capsule regimen, and am thrilled to report that I am without any of the negative symptoms I experienced during pregnancy. Unequivocally, I attribute my positive wellbeing in postpartum directly to the placenta capsules!
I have a B.A. in Communication Studies and an M.S. in Organizational Leadership. I serve on active duty in the military, and am currently stationed in Nashville, TN. In my time away from work, I enjoy all types of travel, snowboarding, spending time with family, and just plain and simply enjoying life!
I encourage you, if you even have a remote knowledge and/or interest in the benefits of encapsulation, to approach your research with an open mind and inquire further! Once you experience the benefits, I am certain you will be amazed and motivated to share your experience with other women in an effort to help Mum decrease her recovery time and increase mommy-baby bonding!
I genuinely look forward to using my knowledge and enthusiasm to help you avoid the baby blues and have an emotionally-sound, energetic, and wonderful postpartum period. My motivation is that in utilizing what nature has given you, you can become the best mommy you can be, naturally.
