Goldenrod Birth and Placenta

I had a great experience with goldenrod for encapsulation of my placenta. They were quick to pick it up, have the process completed and delivered to my house. The capsules helped a lot with the hormone shifts. Very grateful for this business! 10/10

Colleen was knowledgeable of the TCM process, answered my questions about Strep B, super easy communication before and after our birth, and great results. Loved the cord art! Highly recommend to birthing people wanting to encapsulate their placenta.

With Colleen and MyBirth I had the birth I wanted and felt as prepared as I could have been. Colleen answered all my questions throughout pregnancy and postpartum. She was super helpful, approachable, and quick to respond. If it wasn't for Colleen and her support during labor and before, I think I would have given in to the pain, gone to the hospital sooner and gotten the epidural. Really glad we had Colleen to support early labor at home, and then at the hospital! So happy and lucky to have the birth experience I wanted.

Was HIGHLY impressed by the entire process. I have struggled with ppd with my older 2 and decided to do this with advice from my functional doctor. I reached out to Colleen last min and was happily surprised that she said “of course”. The care and effort she made for us to encapsulate my placenta is something I will always recommend.

Colleen was very quick to respond to my request to encapsulate my placenta with only a week’s notice. My capsules were returned in a prompt timeframe considering it was the Christmas holiday. She included a card and keepsake of my umbilical cord. I am very pleased with Colleen’s quick service and would recommend her to anyone! Thank you so much Colleen!

Colleen is incredible!! Exceeded all expectations! Process was simple and everything was fantastic - quick, professional, and extremely thoughtful!! 10/10 recommend. I could not have had a better experience! ❤️

Colleen was so kind and attentive. She came to the hospital to retrieve my placenta in a timely manner and brought it back encapsulated before we went home with our baby!

Colleen did an amazing job, she was so quick to respond to any and all questions I had and you can tell she genuinely cares about her clients. I was able to trust her completely with such an intimate part of my postpartum care by encapsulating my placenta for me.

Colleen made placenta encapsulation such an easy process and added special touches like artwork and a personalized card to make the experience extra memorable. She picked up my placenta from the hospital and it was ready the same day I got home just a couple days later. She was so kind and helpful throughout the process and I could not recommend her more highly!

As a first-time mom, having Colleen as our doula/birth worker was one of the best decisions we made. We interviewed and hired Colleen early in my second trimester and immediately resonated with her person-centered approach. Throughout my pregnancy, she checked in often to see how I was doing and what resources she could provide. Once I went into labor, Colleen called every hour to check in, listen to my contractions, and give guidance on a few things to try. When active labor started, I felt overwhelmed and she was quick to meet us at our home. She joined us in the bedroom and set up lights, aromatherapy, gave our dog the attention he was asking for, and kept our water bottles full. She empowered my partner to be my primary support person but also stepped in when needed to coach me through a few movements. When I felt it was time to get to my birth location, she helped us strategize around the hospital drive and arrival. Once we were in the Labor and Delivery unit, Colleen continued to facilitate the vibes of the space and put me/my partner in positions to lead the experience. I also struggle with a blood phobia and Colleen made sure my hospital care team was aware of and followed my preferences around that. I delivered my baby in very close alignment to my preferences/plans. I believe Colleen played an instrumental role in helping me, my partner, and my baby make it to the other side in a way that we envisioned. Colleen’s support didn’t stop after delivery. We had two postpartum visits which were opportunities to reflect on the birth experience and chat about all things newborn. She also proactively texted to check in and give guidance around those first few days with our baby. There were many times that Colleen something at the exact moment it was needed to be said. She was extremely intuitive to our needs and helped me feel grounded and affirmed. I couldn’t recommend her enough!
