Torrey is wonderful! We called her an hour after our second baby was born as we (once again) forgot to arrange for placenta encapsulation service ahead of time. Torrey was prompt, flexible, super communicative and supportive. Highly recommend! read more

I definitely recommend Torrey for prenatal yoga and placenta encapsulation. She is appropriately attentive in yoga. Not overbearing as some teachers can be, yet quick to suggest alternatives given your comfort level. For placenta encapsulation, we had texted her about 24 hours in advance since my active labor was 28 hours long and when it was time she came to the hospital in perfect time (I think the hospital required the placenta to be gone by like two hours after birth or something). Then she was able to drop of the capsules the very next day! So far they have worked great. My mood is definitely positive and I haven't even experienced baby blues (at least not yet) and we are day 7. read more

I met Torrey when I was about 10 weeks pregnant and I started her prenatal yoga series. First of all, she is an amazing prenatal yoga instructor. I took her class once a week throughout my entire pregnancy. She helped me focus on my body, relax and feel strong and confident as labor and delivery approached. When I decided to do placenta encapsulation, I knew I would choose Torrey to do it. There was no question! When I went into labor, we stayed in touch (and mine was a long labor), so that she could get to the hospital quickly to pick up the placenta. When my baby boy finally arrived, Torrey was there to pick up my placenta, process it and was back at the hospital to drop off the capsules so quickly that I was already taking them before I was discharged. Throughout this process, Torrey became a friend. Someone I trust so deeply that she was one of the first people to hold my baby. If you're considering placenta encapsulation and/or prenatal yoga, you have to choose Nurture Mother. You will not only get the best service, you may just make a new friend! read more

Torrey is an absolute gem. She taught my prenatal yoga classes at Then Comes Baby - she is empowering, nurturing, and knowledgable and helped not only to prepare my physical body but also to give me the grounding and breath I needed to have a natural, unmedicated birth. She also has a great sense of humor and overall lovely energy. :) When I found out Torrey also did placenta encapsulation, I was thrilled. My son made his appearance almost two weeks early and I ended up requesting her encapsulation services THE DAY I WENT INTO LABOR. She responded quickly, coordinated with my doula via text message while I was laboring, and ended up picking up my placenta at the hospital within two hours of my giving birth. Then, she was back at the hospital with my placenta pills and a special umbilical cord keepsake the very next day! The placenta pills themselves have worked wonders for me. They gave me the physical and mental energy (read: superpowers) I especially needed to get through the first two weeks post-partum. It's been 5 weeks since I've given birth, I still taking my placenta pills, and while I have my emotional ups and downs (everyone does), I feel great overall. If you're looking for an awesome prenatal yoga practice and post-partum support by way of placenta encapsulation, Torrey is your girl! read more

Torrey is the absolute best. I met her through her yoga classes at my work. Turns out we were due with our little babies on the SAME day. She supported me through yoga during my pregnancy as well as doing my placenta encapsulations. As you can imagine, she was 9 months pregnant and still coordinating everything me and my husband. AMAZING! She turned the encapsulations around quickly including the cutest little dried heart of my umbilical cord. And btw, I am a major believer in the power of the placenta. I definitely noticed a difference on days I did not take them and was sad when my supply ended. I started to take them after all of the adrenaline of childbirth wore off which was about two weeks later (also around the time my husband had to go back to work). And I saved some for my return to work, suggested by Torrey. Save your placenta and use Torrey!! read more

Thank you Torrey! Excellent communication and turn around. Torrey did our encapsulation and placenta prints on extremely short notice during quarantine. The whole process was super efficient and appropriately casual for post-labor vibes. read more

I took a prenatal class with Torrey while she was pregnant (pretty amazing to have someone teach who knows exactly what you are experiencing!) and learned that she did placenta encapsulation. I connected with her to learn more and she was incredibly informative and shared a lot about the benefits, process and cost and I decided I wanted to do this. During the labor and delivery process, my doula communicated with Torrey who quickly came to the hospital to pick up my placenta and I had my pills within 2 days along with a really cool placenta print. I would highly recommend her for both yoga and placenta encapsulation! read more

tl;dr Torrey is the best! I first met Torrey when she was subbing for a prenatal yoga class. I overheard her talk about placenta encapsulation, and although initially I dismissed the idea, as my pregnancy progressed, I became more open to it. I'm so glad I decided to do it! I contacted Torrey near the end of my pregnancy, and she was quick to respond and ensured that she would be able to pick up my placenta as soon as I gave birth. I simply had to let her know when I was in labor, and Torrey came to the hospital and picked up the placenta a few hours later. By the next afternoon, Torrey returned to the hospital with enough pills to last me just over 2 weeks. Though it was my first pregnancy (and thus have no basis for comparison), I did not anticipate how great the pills would make me feel post-partum! I was up and about very quickly and felt like I had a lot of energy. My primary concern was fighting off the postpartum blues, which I think the pills really helped with. I would highly recommend this service to all mamas! In addition to offering placenta encapsulation, Torrey is also a wonderful yoga instructor. I will be the first to admit that before pregnancy, I had no interest in yoga. Luckily, I picked it up during my second trimester, and it was a great way to feel connected to my baby and to get my body ready for labor, delivery, and recovery. After I had my daughter, I continued to take postnatal yoga with Torrey at two different studios. She always offered just the right amount of support, not to mention she is great with the babies in the mama and baby yoga classes. I always looked forward to bringing my daughter with me and spending time getting centered in the practice. I was so sad when I had to stop the postnatal classes and return to work, but I hope to get back on the mat with Torrey soon! read more

I recommend Torrey for placenta encapsulation. When I initially emailed her, she responded to my inquiry immediately and answered all of my questions about encapsulation and how to take the capsules. Shortly after the birth of our daughter, our birthing doula kindly drove the placenta on ice to Torrey's residence. The turnaround to receive the capsules was very fast and we were able to pick them up within 2 days. I also ordered the tincture, which takes more time to make. I think Torrey is very professional and offers a quality product. She'll answer all your questions and make the process easy! read more

I took one prenatal yoga class with Torrey and she also did my placenta encapsulation. Torrey is flexible, friendly and a joy to work with. She picked up the placenta and dropped off the capsules one or two days later with easy to follow directions. I highly recommend her and Nurture Mother to expecting moms! read more

Torrey is wonderful! I had never done yoga when I decided to give prenatal yoga a try. During the first series, I decided to continue for another three series (I took 24 weeks total and felt amazing and powerful after every one). I was very nervous for labor and delivery due to the long labors and difficult deliveries of the women in my family; however, my labor progressed quickly and delivery was relatively easy - I attribute the ease to Torrey and prenatal yoga classes! Additionally, Torrey created a sense of community in her classes and provided a space to discuss both the prenatal and postnatal periods. I also used Torrey's services to encapsulate my placenta. She had the capsules ready for me within 24 hours and provided a wonderful print of my placenta as well as the dried cord as a keepsake. In addition to providing excellent services, Torrey is a warm, nurturing, and comforting person, who creates a pleasant positive energy to be around. I look forward to using her services again with future pregnancies! read more
