Charlotte NC Placenta Encapsulation

PLACENTA MEDICINE

Placenta Medicine is Natures Remedy… Made Perfectly For You, By You! ~Christina Gabbard

Christina Gabbard a.k.a Carolina Placenta Lady has been transforming placentas in the Carolinas (North & South Carolina) since 2009. Trained and certified to safely serve you.

  • Universal Precautions Certified (infection control)
  • Certified Food Handler
  • OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogen Certified
  • Certified Placenta Encapsulation Specialist & Mentor

During pregnancy the placenta does the amazing work of bring oxygen and nutrients to the baby. It also produces hormones that help keep the entire pregnancy on course. As amazing as it is work during pregnancy, the benefits of the placenta do not end when the pregnancy is over.

The high hormone levels of pregnancy drop significantly by day 4-5 postpartum, and it is thought that this fluctuation is a key factor in the development of the “baby blues”. By reintroducing the hormones back into your system, many women find that they do not experience symptoms of depression because placenta is extremely nutrient rich, high in iron, protein, vitamins and minerals, including vitamin B6 and of course, your own natural hormones, making it perfectly made for you, by you.

Women who take placenta capsules report fewer emotional issues, have more energy and tend to enjoy a faster, more pleasant postpartum recovery.

Why Placenta Encapsulation?

  • Prevent and treat the “baby blues”
  • Lessen postnatal bleeding
  • Balance your hormones
  • Enhance your milk supply
  • Combat fatigue
  • Increase your energy
  • Recover more quickly from birth

How is placenta prepared?

I prepare placentas according to Traditional Chinese Medicine methods. The process involves heat, dehydration, grinding, and encapsulation. This service currently takes place over a two-day time period, in the client’s home. The first day is when I come prepare the placenta, the second day is when I encapsulate it. Each visit requires about one hour of work for me.

Your placenta is full of your own bio-specific hormones and healing properties:

  • Gonadotropin: the precursor to estrogen, progesterone and testosterone.
  • Prolactin: promotes lactation.
  • Oxytocin: The Love hormone. Promotes feelings of love and connectedness /bonding; produced during breastfeeding to facilitate bonding of mother and infant.
  • Thyroid stimulating hormone: boosts energy and helps recovery from stressful events.
  • Cortisone: combats stress and unlocks energy stores.
  • Interferon: stimulates the immune system to protect against infections.
  • Prostaglandins: anti-inflammatory.
  • Hemoglobin: replenishes iron deficiency and anemia, a common postpartum condition.
  • Urokinase inhibiting factor and factor XIII: stops bleeding and enhances wound healing.
  • Gammaglobulin: immune booster that helps protect against postpartum infections.

Carolina Placenta LadyWhere is The Placenta Prepared?

Your placenta is prepared in your home. I have obtained the appropriate Bloodborne Pathogen course Completion Certification and adhere to the strictest standards of safety as set forth by OSHA and the EPA and conform to local health department guidelines for food preparation and safety protocols.

All the equipment needed for the process is supplied by me. The first visit to your home takes 1 hour, the placenta is prepared for dehydrating, it is then left there, in the dehydrator for several hours. I return the following day to begin the encapsulation process which takes 1 hour.

When is The Placenta Prepared?

Ideally, the placenta preparation takes place as soon as possible after delivery, within the first 1-2 days. The first two weeks are the most important and effective time to be taking the placenta to help ward off the “baby blues”, so, the sooner the better. You can begin taking the capsules right away for maximum postpartum benefits.

Even if mom and baby are recovering postpartum in the hospital, Christina can encapsulate your placenta at home with your partner or other support person present and get the placenta capsules to you right away.

Natural Fertility

NATURAL FERTILITY

Newborn

Hypnosis is one of the most powerful and effective processes available for conquering “unexplained infertility”

Hypnosis for Fertility helps couples to conceive naturally, and also provides hypnotherapeutic support to women undergoing IVF and other medical procedures. Hypnosis can significantly help you to reduce anxiety and stress and increase your sense of confidence and well-being. Scientifically proven to more than double your chances of conceiving naturally and more than double your chances of conceiving with medical assistance.

Stress and a lack of confidence tend to be the top culprits that must be addressed when working with client for fertility. Hypnotherapy reduces stress and increases confidence, instilling a sense of control, which maximizes chances of conceiving naturally and/or increases the success of medical assistance.

Hypnosis affects the hypothalamus, the neural center at the base of the brain linked to the pituitary gland, and controls the flow of hormones in the body. Unresolved issues about having a baby can be addressed with hypnotherapy.

It has been stated that the stress of infertility is equal to that of cancer, divorce or other traumatic events. The hypothalamus. which controls hormone production, is affected by stress; specifically, the hormones affecting the monthly release of the ovum, and preparation of the uterine lining for implantation, are likely to be affected. One of the most common tests for infertility, the Follicle Stimulating Hormone test, is taken as indicative of infertility if the score is over ten. A woman who has already had a hard time getting pregnant, and is tense about the possible “sentence of infertility” that may be given to her by an authority figure, is unlikely to be calm and relaxed…which in many cases would lead to a truer, and lower, FSH reading.

The function of hypnotherapy is to relax the person and address subconscious barriers to conception. Everyone understands that stress can cause skin rashes, headaches, and even heart attacks. If the body is under stress, the sympathetic nervous system prepares us for fight or flight,which is totally incompatible with preparation for reproduction.

Hypnosis is one of the most powerful and effective processes available for conquering “unexplained infertility”.

Childbirth Hypnosis
Childbirth Hypnosis

Childbirth Hypnosis

Birth is a natural process that can be easier and more comfortable than most mothers ever imagine. Childbirth is directed by the subconscious mind through a combination of programming and instincts. Hypnosis allows you to eliminate any negative beliefs and expectations so that you can confidently experience giving birth.

Just as a woman’s heart knows how and when to pump, her lungs to inhale, and her hand to pull back from fire, so she knows when and how to give birth. ~Virginia Di Orio

Free Introductory Class – Embracing Childbirth With Hypnosis.
Join Christina Gabbard, CCHt, BHE, PHS (Previous hypnosis skeptic), in Charlotte NC, to learn about the basics of hypnosis and how it positively benefits labor and delivery. It’s a simple, natural, and risk-free alternative that is gaining popularity world-wide. In addition to all-natural births, hypnosis can be used in conjunction with medications and cesarean surgeries – it reduces the amount of medication needed, reduces bleeding, and accelerates healing.

In natural birth, hypnosis shortens labor, reduces or eliminates pain, releases fears, and puts Mom in control of her own body and mind. Modern hypnosis training empowers moms to use their instincts for calm, confident, and comfortable birth in any situation. Find out if it’s right for you. See a video of a birth with hypnosis and have your own hypnosis experience.
