Hi my name is Missy Garcia. I am a holistically trained registered nurse, certified public health nurse, certified lactation educator and a placenta encapsulation specialist. I am also working towards becoming a lactation consultant and obtaining Masters Degree in holistic health education. Most obtained while raising my one year old. Wow, I guess I have been busy.
I truly enjoy working with women and children. We all need support and the opportunity to be educated about things that may not be popular “western” culture. Many things are overlooked in regards to a more holistic approach, but my belief is if it has worked for thousands of years and our species is still around then that obviously says something. I love what placenta benefits is doing and I am blessed to be a part of it.
I had a water birth at a birth center and took my placenta home with me. I had looked into local person to encapsulate it but based on the financial circumstances I decided to do it myself. Well with the lack of sleep and no one willing to help me plus not really knowing how to do it. My placenta full of amazing properties that I truly believe would have helped my postpartum recovery went to waste. So here I was not being able to take my daughter for a walk down the street at 6 weeks postpartum without getting totally winded and tired leaving me to question “why is this happening”? I walked over 2 miles the night I went into labor. If I had known then what I know now my recovery would have been so different. So, now I don’t want that to happen to anyone else.
I believe that all mothers should be taught about the benefits of placenta during their pregnancy so they are able to make an educated choice. I will work with any mother that wants to have their placenta encapsulated. I will travel if needed. Just contact me so we can discuss the options. Thank you for your time.
