Miss Jennifer did such an amazing job with my placental encapsulation 5 years ago, that when my salve ran out, I contacted her to assist me in making more with my left over pills. She was prompt in responding, professional and as courteous as I remember. She was kind enough to drop off my salve at my front porch and was using PPE. I definitely recommend her read more

Jen has done my placenta encapsulation for both of my babies and has been my go-to girl to refer to all of my clients. She is professional and reliable. She answers right away when a placenta needs to be picked up snd does what she says she is going to do. Her packaging is beautiful and regardless of what anyone says about placenta encapsulation, last time I feel that they helped so much there was no way I'd go without this time around. read more

It will be part of my recovery regimen for the weeks to come and just had to quickly come on here and rave about her because I hope all moms get to feel as special as I did working with her and getting the final product.

If I could give 20 stars I would! Jennifer is amazing! I did not hire her as my birthing doula but wish I would have. She truly captured the "mothering the mother" aspect of doula work. This is my first baby and I was always relieved the nights when Jenn would be at our our house knowing she would be helpful without me needing to tell her every little thing to do. I am very grateful for her. She went above and beyond doing thoughtful, simple things like making sure our coffee maker had water in it, bringing my baby little toys and diaper rash cream she even brought me a clock to help me keep track of my feeding times. Jennifer has a lovely energy, is super easy going, responsive and very dependable. I ended up having 3 different postpartum doulas and Jenn quickly became my favorite. Any questions, concerns I had with my baby, she was very knowledgable and supportive. She's extremely detail oriented, trustworthy & caring. *one of the added bonus services Jenn provided was reiki for me and my baby and it was Amazing!!! read more

I contacted Jenniffer in regards to Placenta encapsulation and the process of how its done. I was never able to have it done with my first child so I was adamant of finding someone for my second child. Jennifer was extremely responsive and helpful. She came to the birth center at 3am to pick up my placenta and had the pills, truffles and keepsakes ready 3 days later! The truffles are extremely delicious and the capsuls are easy to take, and a great instruction sheet to follow! I highly reccomend Jenniffer for any and all Placenta needs!! read more

After several of my girl friend who are new moms recommended I get my placenta encapsulated after the birth of my daughter for the anti depression benefits and energy, I found Jenniffer on Yelp. I contacted her months in advance and gave her my expected due date and hospital. She answered all my questions and was very informative on the procedure. I chose the Chinese method. The evening my baby arrived, we contacted her for pick up. She arrived within hours in my post-op recovery room. 48 hours later she came back with my pills and also added a cute additional keepsake for me, which was the umbilical cord dried in a shape of a heart. I have been taking the pills for a week now. So far so good. I'm hoping it helps with my energy level since I have to keep up with this new baby who doesn't like to sleep at night. I plan to recommend Jenniffer to any of my future new mom friends who are interested in encapsulation too. read more

After interviewing a few Doula's my wife and I hired Jenniffer as our Doula to assist with the birth of our first child. Jennifer is very knowledgeable about the delivery processs and easy to talk to. She listens and answered all of our questions very patiently. We felt very comfortable with her and felt she was the right person to assist us in the delivery of our son. We came to find out during multiple ultrasounds that our baby was breeched and that a natural child birth would be out of the question and we would need to do a c-section. Jennifer was very understanding and even though we would no longer need her Doula services she still answered all of our questions and said we could call her anytime. She even came to visit us right after the birth of our son. We plan to use her as our Doula when we have our next child. It is very evident how much Jennifer cares about her clients and we highly recommend her services...... read more

One happy momma! I was introduced to The Blooming Orchid by my doula Ana. Jennifer was very professional, informative, and friendly along the way! I'm currently 3.5wks PP and I've been taking my placenta pills since Jennifer dropped them off on my first day back home. I've felt great in my energy levels as well as mood, and feel that the pills have greatly helped with my milk supply to BF! I also ordered a placenta tincture (which I'm waiting to use until the fermentation process is complete, about six weeks) and which lasts indefinitely, (awesome!). Pills and tincture were returned to me in dark colored containers as to preserve the integrity of the medicinal properties the pills and tincture hold. When I received my pills and tinture she also included some written information and instructions on dosage and use, which is very helpful as the few guest days home from the hospital it can be difficult to remember even the simplest instructions. I highly recommend Jennifer's services and I will definitely be utilizing The Blooming Orchid again in the future with my other pregnancies! read more

I was a bit skeptical about the whole process and how it works but after doing some research I think every pregnant woman should do placenta encapsulation. I ordered the flavored capsules in both traditional Chinese method and raw. It helped me tremendously, and I didn't experience any baby blues. Upon meeting Jennifer I was very comfortable and she was very informative. She answered all of my questions and much more. She came to my hospital as soon as my son was born, took my placenta and delivered it to my door in two days! I highly recommend her for placenta encapsulation. So if your in the south bay area definitely contact Jenniffer! read more

Blooming orchid is great! My experience was so easy and Jenniffer was very helpful and responsive. She was timely and reliable. Would definitely recommend! read more

It would be impossible for me to verbalize the difference Jennifer and her services made for me and my family! Jennifer is beyond professional, and timely. She picked up my placenta within 12 hours of the birth and had it back to me within 48 hours. All of the products she created using my placenta came with a beautiful presentation and clear instructions. You can feel the love she puts into creating a quality product for you. She made me salve with my placenta that worked miracles healing my hemorrhoids. Jennifer took the time to explain everything to me. This was my third child but the first time I had decided to get my placenta encapsulated and it made a huge difference! I suffered with horrible hot flashes for months after I had my first two. This time I only had bad hot flashes the few times I forgot to take my capsules and they would quickly fade after taking them. Jennifer not only binded me in a beautiful wrap that supported me and made me feel incredibly feminine, she also showed both me and my husband how to redo it when needed. She was available to come out and do it again if needed. Jennifer also supported me for weeks after my delivery answer questions about breastfeeding, sleeping and giving me other professional recommendations as needed. There is no doubt in my mind I would not have been successful breastfeeding this baby without her support! Jennifer truly is a gift to my family and anyone that is lucky enough to work with her! read more

Jenniffer did my placenta encapsulation and I had a fantastic experience with her and the finished product! She was very flexible with my due date that changed multiple times and was very quick to respond to all of my questions and emails. She went above and beyond to pick up my placenta from my house and dropped off the pills very quickly- and all right before Christmas! She gave very clear instructions and I really liked the strawberry pill flavor. I really appreciate everything she did for me and strongly recommend her services! read more

I found Jennifer through the mommy Facebook group during my second pregnancy. The moms in the group raved about her for placenta encapsulation as well as doula services. I used Jennifer solely for placenta encapsulation. Before committing to the service Jennifer did a phone consultation to not only inform me on the process and options for encapsulation, but also to get a feel for why I was wanting to do it so she could tailor her service to my needs/wants. I went into labor at midnight, my baby was earthside by 3am, and Jennifer was there by 3:30am to pick up my placenta. She responded to all the texts my husband was sending as progress updates. I never felt like she wasn't available. I would HIGHLY recommend Jennifer for any of your prenatal/postnatal needs. If I have a 3rd child I would absolutely hire her for her doula services. read more

I have known Jenniffer for some time now. She is very passionate and professional in all things she does. I would definitely recommend her to my friends and family. read more

Where do I start? I was pregnant with my first child and im a mix of old school and modern day so I knew I wanted to give birth in a hospital for my own sanity ( in case something goes wrong) but I wanted the friendliness and the support of a midwife. so I looked into hiring a doula. like most people I literally just googled "doula in Torrance" and when the one with the most reviews was not available she put out my number and A BUNCH of doulas contacted me. I only contacted and set up appointments with the ones that left "professional" voicemails. I had about 5 doulas lined up back to back for the next few days. jenniffer was the first I met. when I met her I knew she was the one. she made me feel so comfortable and was so presentable and knowledgable in everything. I had so many questions but she never rushed me or thought my questions were "lame" she answered them all and when I still didn't understand she would explain it from a different perspective so I would understand (which is important as a first time mom) she definitely knew so much. I really liked that she told me I can text or call her anytime. it gave me peace of mind bc I couldn't call or text my OB anytime so I felt like no matter when or where I had support or if I felt a weird jab she would assure me its normal in a pregnancy. I didn't need to meet anyone else I KNEW she was perfect for my family. throughout my pregnancy she was so supportive and would check up on me to make sure I was okay and doing well. she genuinely cared about my well being. she even attended a Lamaze class with me. I felt very confidant knowing she was by my side. when I was induced she was with me for all 80 hours in the hospital. she supported me, massaged me, help me count through breaths, etc. when the doctors wanted to do something I would always glance at her and say what do u think. she was my voice when I didn't know better. she made me feel comfortable and confidant during labor. I honestly wouldn't have been so comfortable without her. she gave me peace. anything I needed she did for me. She even offered me things like water and blankets and fixed my pillows. all these little things that might be overlooked by some I remember them in my heart. its the little things that made me so appreciative of her. I didn't have anyone in my delivery room except her and my husband. during such a serious time she and I would laugh together and it took my mind off things that I didn't need to worry about. after my baby was here she offered a lot of resources such as inviting me to park playdates, nursing playdates, etc. she gave me info about breastfeeding and how to produce more milk and when I had PPd she was my listening ear and helped me through that as well. she didn't just leave after my birth. she helped me and guided me and gave me confidence to be the best mommy I can be. I truly look up to her. though this time I can say that I got to see her true colors and she is one amazing woman. she is so thoughtful, kind, happy, and has such a pure heart. I love her so much! I wish I can just keep her lol! I would highly recommend her to everyone and anyone. this may be "just a review" to you but it doesn't hurt to just give her a call and set up an appointment to meet her. im sure you wont regret it and when you meet her you will love her as much as I do. thanks jenniffer for all that you do and did! tracy chen read more

I hired Jennifer for placenta encapsulation for my 2 nieces. I text her at 920 am about the pick up after the birth, she was on her way at 945 am. The previous eve at 12:30 am, my niece hadn't hired anyone yet, I text her and she promptly responded. My first niece loves the art work, said she was quick to bring the capsules to her home. Still waiting on my second niece, pick up was just this AM. read more

I got my placenta encapsulated into pills and also kept some of my cord for keepsake and had a perfect experience. The service was fast, response was quick, and the turn around to receive the pills was extremely timely as well. They picked up my placenta within hours directly from the hospital after I let them know I was going into labor and had given birth. read more

No words can express how awesome Jennifer was before, during and after our first child's birth. We were able to book her on a pinch (new parents thought we were prepared until I started to contract :/ ) We had also decided a week before our babies birth to do hypnobirthing after a cram session with Alisha Tamburri. Jen was more than happy to assist us and make our first birthing experience as close to our birthing plan as possible. She met us at the hospital with a birthing ball and all she was there for the active labor part and although it was a short labor she was of great help. It was so comforting to know that we had someone there to help us especially when the midwife and nurses left the room and it was just Jenniffer and my husband I was never alone and that really made a difference. She met our expectations of a doula and went beyond that so happy to have had Jenniffer as our doula! :) Also after the birth Jenniffer continued to keep in touch making sure that we were all doing good answering questions and always backing up her information by providing links to sites that would help me feel more at ease. Overall having Jenniffer as our doula was a big blessing and we are very thankful for her. read more

Jenniffer is all around amazing. She is a very passionate, kind hearted person. She answered all our question very thoroughly. Couldn't have asked for a better doula!!! read more

Jenniffer is the best around! She was there to help answer all my questions before, was kind and helpful through the process. When I had my child she helped keep me calm and followed my birth plan as best she could. She was my rock through the whole process. Once I had my child I had her do my placenta capsules. She takes time and care into all her products! Can't wait until I have another child, I couldn't imagine the process without her involved again! read more

I can't express enough how grateful I am to have an amazing doula like Jenniffer. She helped me every step of the way through my pregnancy, labor and delivery and post partum. I found out I was pregnant in March right when covid started. So on top of this being my first pregnancy you add the stress of not being able to have my husband or doula at appointments. I must say that Jenniffer really put me at ease every step of the way. After each appointment I would call her and she would answer all my questions and put me at ease when I became anxious about certain things. Also, due to covid my husband and I couldn't take an in person birth or parenting class. Jenniffer set up an online class to go through what to expect pre and post birth. It was very educational and helped me understand all my options when it came to the labor and delivery aspect. The birthing plan questionnaire was also very helpful to fill out prior to labor. I was able to labor at home for a good amount of time prior to going to the hospital. She helped me go through techniques to get through contractions in the comfort of my own home. I also felt the birthing plan really helped the nurse and doctors understand how I wanted my birth to go. Even though Jenniffer could not be at the hospital physically, I felt she was with me every step of the way via call and text. She responded quickly to any questions I had. Lastly, Jenniffer was able to come to my home after the birth and help me the first few days with anything I needed. Another service I received from Jenniffer was placenta encapsulation. I had a rough few days with post partum headaches. The capsules helped tremendously with the headaches and helping balance my hormones. I could tell a difference from day one of taking them. If you're back and forth about using a doula don't be. I would highly recommend Jenniffer. I definitely will be using her services again when the time comes. read more

Jenniffer was an amazing support during my unusually long labor and we are really glad we hired her. I was in labor for 4 days and we went to the hospital multiple times during this period. At our request, Jenniffer met us at the hospital several times, and later, as I had progressed further and labor became more difficult to handle, she came to our home, as well. She was an amazing help in taking shifts with my husband, so that he could take naps, because I had back labor and needed someone to provide counterpressure for every contraction. Jenniffer also had several useful tools and tricks to help, that we hadn't learned in our 12-week long Bradley course that my husband and I took in preparation for labor. For example, massaging my back in a criss-cross pattern between contractions, and suggesting that I tie tennis balls in place behind my sacrum for the car ride to the hospital -- I would never have thought of that but it made the ride 10x more bearable! And perhaps the best thing Jenniffer did was help talk me into going home again after our 4th trip to the hospital, because I really wanted a natural birth and probably would have given in to an intervention to speed things up, had I stayed there that last time. All in all, my husband had thought we were well prepared after taking a labor preparation course, but we weren't prepared for something this long after all, and I would hire Jenniffer again in a heartbeat, for the physical and emotional support! read more
