My name is Melissa Moulder Dowd and I currently reside in
Athens, GA with my husband and daughter. It was through my
daughter's birth experience that I came to find Placenta
Benefits.
I have been involved in the Healing Arts for many years combining my passions
to integrate Holistic modalities for mothers, babies, and children. I have been
fortunate to train with many wonderful mentors and have had the joy of
witnessing the body shift, integrate, and heal on many levels.
I have been trained as a Color Therapist, Energetic Bodyworker, Holistic
Doula, Neurofeedback Practitioner, Registered Nurse, and Reiki Master. I first
learned about Placenta Medicine as a Doula, then later through my own birth and
postpartum experience.
I was fortunate to meet a midwife who prepared my placenta after the birth of
my daughter. I feel that taking my placenta during my postpartum really made a
huge difference for my mood and energy level. I was so intrigued by the
ingestion of placenta that I asked my midwife to teach me her method of
preparation. Later, I did more research and found out about Placenta Benefits. I
was delighted to learn how accessible Jodi's approach is for women and I decided
I wanted to learn the process of Placenta Encapsulation. I have found it to be
an amazingly beautiful process with very positive results.
On the side of Motherhood, I am a part time Family Nurse Practitioner
Student. I have also recently started a Postpartum Healing Practice called Pure
Bliss Medicine. It is fascinating to be with women and witness their rites of
passages, especially into Motherhood.
