Welcome to Sacred Roots! My name is Erin, and I am passionate about supporting mothers on their unique journeys through the sacred process of birth and motherhood. As a Licensed Acupuncturist and Herbalist with a Master's degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine and a focus on women's health, I bring a holistic approach to my placenta encapsulation services.
At Sacred Roots, I believe that the placenta is more than just a biological organ; it is a powerful symbol of life, connection, and nourishment. My background in Traditional Chinese Medicine allows me to integrate ancient healing practices with modern knowledge, ensuring that you receive a whole person and nurturing experience.

Placenta, or Zi He Che, has been used as part of Chinese Herbal Medicine for thousands of years. It is used to help replenish what was used during the reproductive process. Traditionally, in postpartum use, it was taken alongside other Chinese tonic herbs that work together to comprehensively boost the overall constitution post-birth.
At Sacred Roots, you have the option to receive your placenta encapsulated alone or along with these traditional herbs, giving you the additional benefit of even more postpartum nourishment that will last for longer.

In many cultures around the world, the placenta is regarded as a sacred and vital element of the birthing experience. Often referred to as "the tree of life," the placenta nourishes and supports the developing baby. The placenta is seen not just as a biological organ, but as a symbol of life, fertility, and maternal connection. The practice of placenta consumption reflects a deep respect for the life it supports and acknowledges the spiritual connection it fosters between mother-baby.
