Aileen has been a birth doula since 2012 , has been teaching Hypnobabies childbirth hypnosis classes since 2013 and has been encapsulating placentas since 2012. She lives in St. Paul with her husband and three children. 

Each encapsulator is an independent provider and has developed her own policies, procedures and costs associated with her services. We encourage you to ask your provider about her training, certifications, and procedures for handling and preparing the placenta and for sanitizing of all her equipment. Bywater Birth is not responsible for the actions of anyone listed below.
