Casey Bio: 
My name is Casey and I’m located in Wentzville, Missouri. I’ve been encapsulating placentas since 2015. A little back story… I started researching placenta encapsulation when I was first pregnant with my son in 2015, but it was hard to find someone in my area who did placenta encapsulation (at that time I lived in rural mid-missouri). Therefore, I researched how to do it myself, I checked out a few books, I read a million blogs (at least it feels like it), watched hours of video tutorials, etc. I bought all the needed supplies (empty capsules, pill/capsule press machine, nutrabullet, dehydrator, stainless steel pot, etc.) and once my son was born, I encapsulated his placenta right away and I was astounded by the effects. Throughout the next few weeks, I could literally tell a difference in my mood and energy level when I forgot to take the capsules. Then, I was hooked. I started telling every pregnant friend and family member about it! Since I was telling everyone about it… people started asking me to do it for them. So, I casually encapsulated placentas for a friends and family members over a few years, and then again for myself when my daughter was born in 2017. Since opening, I encapsulated over 400 placentas for so many lovely mamas from all walks of motherhood. Other than that, I’m a stay-at-home mom with four ‘littles’ and a super supportive husband. I truly love anything to do with pregnancy, labor, birth, cloth diapering, baby wearing, houseplants, and of course placenta encapsulation. I’ll be thrilled to work with you if you move forward with placenta encapsulation. 💕
