Meet the MIDWIFE
“I am Irina. I am a mother, a teacher, an acupuncturist, a midwife, and above all, a human trying my best to serve and connect to others. I believe in our inner wisdom. I believe in our intuition, our autonomy, our sovereignty, and our sacred rite of transition in maiden, mother and crone phases of life. I believe in our ability to serve and heal one another; we are medicine for each other.”
— IRINA SHLAIN, LM CPM LAC
Placenta Medicine
Our offerings include placenta medicine processed in the Traditional Chinese Medicine style. Placenta can be encapsulated, tinctured or made into a salve.
Placenta medicine can promote healing during the postpartum period by adding yang, which is warmth and nourishment. Clients who have taken TCM capsules have reported a more balanced, healing and warming feeling and noticed a gradual increase in energy.
