🌸 Curious about the benefits of placenta encapsulation? 🌸
I’m deeply passionate about supporting postpartum recovery through placenta encapsulation. This practice can be a powerful tool for new moms by:
🌟 Boosting milk production
💖 Supporting emotional well-being and reducing postpartum depression
⚡ Increasing energy levels
⏩ Promoting faster recovery by replenishing essential vitamins, minerals, and hormones
To ensure the highest standards of safety and quality, I have:
🛡️ Completed a food handler’s food safety course
🧼 Undergone specialized training in sanitation and proper cooking temperatures
At the hospital, careful coordination is crucial, including:
🧊 Storing the placenta in a sterile, sealed container immediately after birth
❄️ Keeping it cool, ideally on ice, to prevent bacterial growth
🗣️ Communicating clearly with hospital staff to ensure proper handling
Once collected, the placenta is:
🔍 Thoroughly inspected
🍲 Steamed, dehydrated, and ground into a fine powder
💊 Encapsulated for easy and convenient consumption
With this comprehensive approach, I’m committed to providing a safe, supportive, and holistic experience for every new mom.
Have you considered placenta encapsulation for your recovery? I’d love to hear your thoughts! 💬
🌟 Embracing the Natural Power of Birth 🌟
If God designed women’s bodies to birth naturally, why are so many interventions needed? While the fall of man means complications can sometimes occur, these are not the norm. Unfortunately, most of the time, the medical model has made birth less safe by prioritizing convenience over necessity, leading to unnecessary inductions and C-sections.
It’s crucial that we empower informed choices, honor the natural process, and reduce unnecessary medical interventions.
That’s why I became a doula: to help prevent unnecessary interventions and to empower women throughout their birth journey.
If you’d like to chat more about this or are interested in hiring me as your doula, feel free to reach out! I’m here to support you every step of the way.
‘Your pelvis is too small’
—a phrase that has led many women to unnecessary cesareans.
But the truth is, true CPD (Cephalopelvic Disproportion) is incredibly rare.
Your pelvis doesn’t shrink in labor; it’s designed to birth a baby if given the right support and time. ✨
Let’s shift the focus from blaming the body to understanding the real causes: impatience, interventions, and rushed timelines.
Every birth deserves compassion and understanding. 🤍

#BirthByDesign #FaithAndBirth #DoulaSupport #UndisturbedBirth #BirthHormones
There are hormones moving through your body in labor
like a holy choreography.
Eight messengers.
Each one arriving right on time.
Some soften and open.
Some quiet the pain.
Some flood you with a love so fierce it rewires you forever.
Some gather your strength and whisper, now.
Your body knows exactly what to do. Even when voices around you make you doubt it.
Even when “professionals” forget that this wisdom was written into you long before charts and clocks.
God designed women and babies to work together.
Not in fear.
Not in force.
But in flow, and in love.
Birth is not broken.
It works best when it is protected.
When it is trusted.
When it is left alone.
Every interruption,
Every unnecessary check,
Every rush matters.
Every attempt to control what was meant to unfold.
Interventions—even small ones—can disrupt the delicate rhythm
of the hormones doing their sacred dance.
These eight hormones don’t just move flesh.
They blend spirit, sensation, surrender, and ceremony.
When we support them
instead of overriding them
birth remembers how to open and exactly what to do.
✨ Let me teach you what they are and how to support them naturally.
✨ Save this for when you need to remember: your body was designed for this.

Our bodies create a whole new organ called the placenta.
The placenta is such an amazing organ that sustain the life of your baby in utero. It provides oxygen and nutrients to a growing baby. It also removes waste products from the baby's blood. The placenta attaches to the wall of the uterus, and the baby's umbilical cord arises from it.
It also has so many health benifits after birth if you consume it..
- it helps with milk production
- it reduces postpartum bleeding (length & quantity)
- it helps the uterus return to its normal size faster
- it helps prevent postpartum depression/ baby blues
- it balances hormones and iron levels
- it improves mood
- it increases enegy levels
- it helps you sleep better
- it puts your brain and blood cells into repair mode (which helps your body bounce back more quickly)
It contains high levels of iron, natural hormones, and trace elements such as copper, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and zinc. It also contains essential amino acids like lysine, agrinine, and tyrosine, and pretty much every type of vitamin B. All of these ingredients are needed to maintain good physical and mental health, therefore it helps with all the things that I listed plus more, and that's why it put all the prenatal vitamins on the shelf to shame.
Contact me for all you placenta needs. Even if you don't want to consume it we can come up with a beautiful art piece for you.

It actually blocks all the benefit??
I use to use food coloring to make beautiful placenta prints but discovered it actually blocks most of the benefits. So now if I know my clients wish to consume their placenta I will not use food coloring. I will do a print like this which is just as beautiful. Contact me for placenta encapsulation
Hello I would like to take the time to reintroduce myself for my new followers.
My name is Marlene Solorio I fully and wholeheartedly trust that you can give birth naturally, because GOD designed women and babies to work together during birth. I decided to become a doula after my 3 unnecessary cesareans. When I found out I was pregnant with my 4th I told myself I was going to have a natural birth, even though every doctor and midwife in my area told me I couldn't. And boy did I prove them wrong with my VBA3C. So that's why I'm here, I want to help you have a beautiful empowering birth that you will absolutely love, like I did. I know it's possible because I just did it!

(Sound on) My vba3c baby, thank you so much for helping me find my purpose, Because of you I am the doula I am today.
It's so funny we finally decided we were done having children after our 3rd child, but God had another plan and we wouldn't have it any other way.
My baby boy, he turned 3 today. I thank God for him everyday. He is such a joy to be around. I pray the Lord gives me many more years with him.
Free Birth......
I am so blessd to call this my job. Last night into early this morning was such an amazing experience. My client had a freebirth (unassisted birth) meaning there was no midwife or doctor there, just the momma in labor, her mom, her husband, and myself. Her labor started at 2am Saturday, they called me to go over around 9pm, she had her baby today (Sunday) at around 3:30am.
It was so peaceful....
No strangers in the room, she was only surrounded by people who loved her, supported her, and respected her wishes. Nothing happened to her that she didn't want to happen.
There was...
-No monitors
-No machines
-No drugs
-No poking and prodding
-No coached pushing she waited for the fetal ejection reflex
-No cervical checks (we trusted her body)
-She was not confined to the bed
-She did not push on her back (because she didnt want to)
-She was on her hands and knees when baby came out.
-Dad caught the baby
-We didn't cut the umbilical cord until she wanted to (a little over an hour)
-Grandma clapped the cord
-Dad cut the cord
-No pushing on her stomach after baby came out
-She let the baby lay on her stomach right away and baby crawled to her breast to feed
No interventions!!! That is how birth is suppose to unfold on your terms.

Synthetic Vitamin K has a BLACK BOX WARNING!!!
It has aluminum (no amount of aluminum is safe for a newborn).
It also contains Benzyl Alcohol which is the
same preservative that caused severe metabolic acidosis, encephalopathy, respiratory depression
with gasping, and other abnormalities leading to the death of many infants in the U.S. It inflicts unnecessary trauma to a newborn baby's body.
A newborn’s liver is not fully developed and cannot detoxify toxins. Allowing them to administer
bioaccumulation of heavy metals in a baby’s body could lead to degenerative brain disorders later on in life.
You have the option to administer natural organic
Vitamin k in liquid form to your baby. Also, a pregnant woman who has adequate nutrition
available in the form of a standard diet will provide the vitamins required by the fetus for normal
development.
Synthetic Vitamin K (phytonadione) ingredients : Phenol (carbolic acid – a poisonous
substance derived from coal tar), Benzyl alcohol (preservative), Propylene glycol (better known
as “edible” antifreeze), Acetic acid (astringent, antimicrobial agent), Hydrochloric acid, Lecithin
(GMO), Castor oil. Common side effects may include: dizziness; light-headed, flushing
(warmth, redness, itchiness or tingly feeling); changes in your sense of taste, pain or swelling
where the medicine was injected, rapid pulse, jaundice, trouble breathing, seizures and death.
Her birth was so amazing...
Placenta print and umbilical cord keepsake delivered to my lovely client today.
She got the birth she wanted and deserved in a hospital that is known to intervene and not respect their patients rights.It took alot of prayer and work at our prenatal visits, but I'm so proud of her, she stood her ground and didn't let them bully her into things. And let me tell you they tried, but she was confident in her choices and they sensed it so they didn't try her after that. Not only did they respected her wishes, but they left her alone until she wanted them there. Very minimal interventions it was so awesome.
If you would like to experience and amazing birth on your terms let me help you. Click the link in my bio and book your free consultation.
My client wanted me to paint the umbilical cord gold at first, but it came out so nice, so of course I had to send her a picture and ask her if she was sure. She saw it and thought it was as beautiful as I did so we left it the natural color.
Contact me for all your placenta desires we will make your imagination come to life or I'll come up with something beautiful for you.

One of my lovely clients had her baby on the 8th(7/8/23). I am so honored that she let me be apart of this intamite special journey. She didn't want to consume her placenta, but she did want something to remember it. Because placentas are so amazing, they house your baby and deliver everything needed to sustain life, until you can hold them in your arms.
Come to me for all your placenta needs. We can come up with something you'll like.

One of the routine tests done during pregnancy, is the Glucose Intolerance Test for diagnosing Gestational Diabetes. This happens between 24-28 weeks. Some providers will make you fast from eating for hours prior others won't, and at your appointment you will go into the office to chug the Glucola drink, then have your blood drawn.
Many women experience dizziness, nausea, vomiting, headaches, and even pass out from this event. But that's not the worst part... have you ever read the ingredients on the Glucola bottle? If not, I'll list them off of one of the most common brands for you, as they are highly concerning.
🤮 Water, dextrose derived from corn (GMO), citric acid, flavoring, modified food starch, glycerol ester of wood rosin, brominated soy bean oil (a flame retardant), FD & C yellow #6 or red #40 dye, sodium hexametaphosphate, BHA, and sodium benzoate.
Yikes! 3/4 of these ingredients are toxic and harmful as heck. So you're just going to be funneling this into your body and your unborn baby's body? I say absolutely not!
And does it really make sense to shock your system with insane amounts of sugar in order to find out how your body processes it? Also no. This is a huge reason why using the glucose drink results in a high false positive rates for GD! Plus, it also has a low efficacy rate, so some women that do actually have GD, pass the test and do not know. One size fits all testing is bogus!
So let's talk about the alternative. First off, many choose to decline testing to begin with as they do not have any risk factors, and only 5-7% of pregnant women actually have GD. Watching for any concerning symptoms or changes that may indicate issue, can suffice. If you do have risk factors, the most accurate and safest way to get a full picture of your glucose tolerance is to go about your life/diet as usual, and use a glucose meter to prick your finger 3x daily for 1-2 weeks to monitor how your body naturally responds to what you eat. Yes there are natural drinks or clean meals you can use to get in the 50mg sugar before the test instead of the glucola, but it's still not something I personally suggest if you want to get a true reading.
#kaiserfresno #dou
Let's get straight to the point, cervical checks are unnecessary and harmful, they come with risks. During both pregnancy and labor, no medical provider should be sticking their hands inside of you. You do not need one at ANY point!
How are they unnecessary? The cervix does not tell us anything about labor progression or when a baby will be born. There's a popular saying that "your cervix is not a crystal ball" and that is accurate. Dilation truly doesn't matter, you could be 3cm for 5 weeks or 5 minutes. There is absolutely no way to know how quickly or slowly your cervix will open. Sadly in a hospital setting they will want to induce you if you don't dilate on their timeline which is complete BS. Checks are also subjective as every single provider has different fingers size and perspective. Disturbing the cervix can cause dilation to reverse too, yikes! And did you know that 10cm does not mean it's time to "push"? Yep. You could be 10cm and still not ready, when it's time for baby to be born your body will involuntarily expel baby due to the Fetal Ejection Reflex, all you have to do is wait and breathe your baby out. But that's a whole topic for another day!
How are they harmful? For starters they are invasive, can cause pain, cramping, and bleeding. Also bringing PTSD for trauma survivors. Not to mention causing worry for a mama who doesn't understand physiological birth! But the biggest concerns are the provider accidentally rupturing your membranes (meaning breaking your water) and the increased risk of infection. Another issue commonly seen in a hospital setting is that doctors will with or without your consent, perform a membrane sweep when they have their fingers inside of you, which is a form of induction and carries more risks as well. Here goes the cascade of interventions!
The best thing you can do for yourself and your baby is to not accept any or very few cervical checks. Most traditional home birth Midwives will not even offer these, and obviously if you are going unassisted you likely aren't even thinking about it, but all other providers will push these and make it seem like you don't have a choice...........
#kaiserfresno #doula #Freebirth
Just because something is standard of care, does not make it safe. Unfortunately there has been stacking evidence against the use of routine ultrasounds and doppler, yet it is rarely talked about. In a typical OB run pregnancy, you will have 2-3 ultrasounds, more if they have "concerns," and countless fetal heart beat checks with a doppler. Not only are they usually unnecessary, but each time you use this equipment, you are exposing your baby to potential harmful health affects.
Did you know that hand held doppler machines use the same technology as ultrasound, but it's actually more concentrated? Vaginal ultrasounds can have the most significant increase of possible issues because they are used in the first trimester and there is much less tissue surrounding baby to protect them from the ultrasonic waves. And don't even get me started on 3D/4D scans!
Studies have even shown that receiving ultrasounds, yes even the anatomy scan, does not improve the outcome for baby! Plus they're notoriously inaccurate for many things. So why risk it? A special fetal stethoscope, called a fetoscope, can be used instead of a doppler too, so if you want to listen in on baby you can without the issues.
Let's get down to why they're harmful. The main concerns are increased heat, cavitation, acoustic streaming, and impaired growth/development both mentally & physically. I have attached multiple resources below for you to read!
Now, I am not telling anyone what to do, I'm not shaming or judging if you choose to do them wether you know all of this or not, I just want you to be able to make informed decisions. As this information is not well know and your doctor will surely not be telling you all of this. Yes in *some* instances, where there is true need for diagnostic measures, the benefit may outweigh the risk. But for routine use and for elective reasons like keepsake photos or sex determination, my opinion is a hard no.
As always, follow your mama instincts and always do your research 🤰🏼

Hello My name is Marlene Solorio I fully and wholeheartedly trust that you can give birth naturally, because GOD designed women and babies to work together during birth. You are a powerful human and GOD designed you perfectly. So deep down inside you know exactly what to do, even though sometimes you forget that because everyone tries to convince you that you don't or even worse that your body is broken. That's why I love helping moms find the confidence to birth autonomously through education and empowerment. After my 3 unnecessary cesareans (all because I was uneducated and didn't know my rights) I decided to become a doula. �When I found out I was pregnant with my 4th I told myself I was going to have a natural birth, even though every doctor and midwife in my area told me I couldn't. And boy did I prove them wrong with my VBA3C. So that's why I'm here, I want to help you have a beautiful empowering birth like I did. I know it's possible because I just did it! Click the link in my bio to learn how I can help you.
I love what I do. I love taking care of mamas before during and after birth by education them, supporting them, listening to them, empowering them, cooking for them, cleaning for them, and more. They are usually the one doing these things for everyone else, and don't realize they need to be cared for aswell.

Some of you have asked me to share how I am going to process the placenta. So here is part one. This placenta looks really healthy. First I talk about the mothers side, that attaches to her womb and how important it is to be whole with no chunks missing. Then I talk about the baby's side where the baby grows and is protected with amniotic fluid all around him/her.

Saturday 11/5/22 I was privileged and so honored to witness my first undisturbed free birth and to top it off it was a fully natural vaginal birth after 2 c-sections. It was so amazing the momma did so well I am so proud of her. I never doubt her for 1 second. The baby came earthside so peaceful, and undrugged on the mamas terms the way birth was meant to be. I got some really cool pictures of the head emerging and other gnarly ones. I picked up her placenta last night I will be encapsulating it soon, some of you have asked me to share the process of it so I will, stay tuned and I hope you all have a blessed day.

I had a great time with all these #CentralValleyBirthWorkers I can't wait and hope to meet more at the next event. Thank you @drciaralopez and @watsonsvisalia for hosting this special event. The food was so good, the set up was beautiful and these beautiful people were amazing. I chose to be the dish washer because I hope to make life a little easier for women.
