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 traditional chinese medicine practitioner, acupuncturist, and herbalist with a focus on women's health, I integrate ancient healing wisdom with modern knowledge.In many cultures around the world, the placenta is regarded as a sacred and vital element of the birthing process. Often referred to as "the tree of life," the placenta nourishes and supports the developing baby. The practice of placenta consumption reflects a deep reverence for the life it supported and is a powerful symbol of life, connection, and nourishment.The profound spiritual significance of the birthing process and the deep bond between mother-baby is what informs my practice. Through these traditional practices, it is my wish that you feel empowered and nourished in this ritual of connection to your amazing body and baby.Thank you for allowing me to be part of this transformative time in your life and honor the sacred roots of your journey into motherhood!



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.


BENEFITS OF PLACENTA CONSUMPTION
Supports postpartum recovery
Supports hormonal balance
Increases milk supply, including lactose and protein concentrations to increase newborn weight
Provides essential nutrients lost during childbirth, such as iron and B vitamins
Increased energy
Improved mood, activates release of endorphins
Helps guard against postpartum depression
Promotes more restful sleep

Acupuncture and moxibustion are available as an add-on with the standard placenta encapsulation package. This is offered as a house call, either prenatally for induction/labor prep, or postpartum for hormone and nervous system regulation. Both are quite effective for calming the Spirit and regulating Qi and Blood as needed.
Either before your due due, or at the time of drop off of your goods, a brief intake and restful treatment can be had at home, in the comfort of your own bed.
