Thank you for this valuable, necessary service to women. ~ C.G. Bethel, VT
Your thorough care, kind personality, and gentle spirit make what you do much more than a job. I’m thankful to have met you. ~ A.K. Woodstock, VT
Tara left our kitchen cleaner than she found it, which was appreciated in this time of quiet rest in our household. ~ M.B. Cabot, VT
I plan to encapsulate again and won’t give birth without this postpartum healing! ~ L.B. Burlington, VT
Amazing capsules! Zero anxiety or depression, less fatigue, deeper sleep, more energy, more milk, less pain. I can’t say enough, wish I’d done with my first! ~ R.H. Stowe, VT
Thank you for an awesome craft, your professionalism, and getting back to my emails with positive words and love. I hope your business grows and will do my part to get word out. I’m telling everybody about my capsules whether weirded out or not 🙂 My mom-in-law was squeamish about this and even she is totally into it now. ~ S.S. Stowe, VT
Milk Production
My milk came in fast and rich. With my last 2 kids I was tired from not having enough milk. If you have doubts about doing this, do it. Worth every penny to have a feeling great postpartum, without exhaustion or big emotion. M.K. St. J, VT
I couldn’t breastfeed with my first and chose to encapsulate with my second in hopes of boosting milk. 2nd dose and I felt a let-down tingle! I did need to supplement with formula, but I got to nurse and cherish this time. L.J. Bolton, VT.
I had breast reduction surgery 5 years ago and was told I may be unable to breastfeed. Within days of my capsules, I had enough milk and only supplemented 2 ounces a day. A difference from my last baby who was 100% formula-fed. P.L. Lawrence, MA
Sleep Deprivation & Insomnia
Everyone thought I was crazy, but capsules were effective at curbing moodiness that my husband could tell if I forgot to take! I don’t know how I’d get through sleep deprivation without them, especially since caffeine and nursing is a no-no! ~ K.H. Lincoln, NH
I didn’t sleep well for a couple days after my baby came. I drank the tea Tara made and felt a calm buzz travel my body and slept deeply for 3 hours! ~ T.R. Shelburne, VT
Cesarean Birth
I’ve taken capsules 5 days since c-section; my milk has come in, bleeding done, energy high (considering I don’t sleep much!) and my mood stable. ~ T.L. Lincoln, NH
My sister brought my capsules and tea to hospital. I didn’t need pain medication after my c-section. I wish they lasted forever. ~ R.E. Bristol, VT
Depression & Anxiety
After 4 days on my capsules, I started to feel better. I struggle with depression and this was better than any anti-depressant. I urge every woman to encapsulate. I wish it was a part of every woman’s birthing process. ~ I.F. Bristol, VT
My friends gifted me with Tara and even with a toddler and twin girls I kept my cool. I would do this again in a heartbeat. ~ M.O. Bridgton, ME
I had dramatically less postpartum depression than last time. T.S. Montpelier, VT
I didn’t experience PPD like I did with my 1st and so glad to be present for those precious weeks with a newborn. I wish all women knew you. ~ A.J. Brattleboro, VT
I’ve been medicated for bipolar since I was an adolescent. During pregnancy, this condition stabilized and did not need medication, yet doctor said would return after birth and I’d need medication and would not be able to breastfeed as I hoped. I encapsulated and successfully breastfed 10 weeks without a dip in mood. ~ K.O. Northfield, VT
Good Mood
I drank more of the tea when my baby was 6 weeks. I was in such a good mood after that I cleaned the house. ~ F.O. Stowe, VT
Glad we used your service. I feel positive in mood and have nothing but great things to say. I’ll be sending business from all my prego friends! ~ J.G. Danville, VT
3rd baby and what a world of difference in my postpartum experience! I feel happier, less stressed (even with toddler to chase), and more connected to this baby. I can’t recommend Tara enough. ~ R.C. Scituate, MA
Hormonal Issues
I encapsulated at two weeks postpartum. 2nd day of taking capsules my night sweats went away (had nightly since birth, even soaking through jammies). Also, my bond with baby stronger, just more in tune with her. ~ E.F. Marshfield, VT
Blood Loss
I needed a blood transfusion because of low iron levels after hemorrhaging. I didn’t want a transfusion, so drank pint of tea and two doses of capsules. I improved so much that I was released without a transfusion. ~ I.P. Montpelier, VT
Choose plain or grape flavored capsules!
