welcome to your 4th trimester

Mindful postpartum SUPPORT

E.V. Seattle, WA

“I have used The Nurtured Leaf for three encapsulations and could not be happier with the experience not only with Alecia but with the massive benefits of placenta encapsulation. Alecia is professional, timely and friendly. She makes the entire process very easy to navigate with an organized bag, easy to follow instructions and endless support after the placenta is encapsulated. She has made my postpartum experience truly magical especially with a huge task of encapsulation. My biggest worry was whether an encapsulation would be done properly and ethically and there is no doubt in my mind that the Nurtured Leaf truly delivers all of that and more. The aesthetic of the products as well as the quality of the capsules were amazing. Communicating with Alecia before, during and after was a breeze for my husband and I. It was lovely to have her personally deliver the capsules and wish us all well. It felt familiar and supportive. I would highly recommend the Nurtured Leaf for encapsulations and products alike.”

“Choosing Alecia to encapsulate my placenta was one of the best decisions I made during my pregnancy. She was wonderful to work with – easy to communicate with, helpful, very friendly – and she offered a more holistic approach to her services, which was completely in-line with our lifestyle. She strives to use the absolute best ingredients and healthiest “processing” practices, and offers a wide array of choices to get exactly what you want. Not only was I really pleased with her services, but she also took the time to follow up with me a couple times postpartum just to see how I was doing in general, and to make sure I was happy with my capsules and answer any questions I may have had; it was so nice to know that she cared. If we decide to have another child, I will contact her in a heartbeat!”

“I immediately knew I wanted to go with The Nurtured Leaf after receiving an email reply from Alecia. She was so informative and I could tell she was really passionate about the process and ensuring her clients and mammas were happy, healthy and whole. There is a saying, “When a baby is born, a mother is also born”. I felt like Alecia was making sure I was taken care of. Her communication was so warm and personable, and she took time to answer every single question. She even followed up after the birth. Such a wonderful resource– I recommended her to several people and on several social media groups and will continue to recommend her!”
