About

Missina Germain, TIES (IPPA)
Trained Independent Encapsulation Specialist through International Placenta & Postpartum Association

I am a professionally trained placenta encapsulation specialist and have been providing this service for women since 2012. I had the privilege of serving Fort McMurray, AB for a few years, and now it is wonderful to be back in my home province residing in beautiful Cobourg, ON. 

Alternative medicine is a great passion of mine as Traditional Chinese methods, acupuncture, herbs, chiropractic, and midwifery care have seen me through various health issues including years of infertility, and I am now blessed with a daughter who thundered her way into this world and into my heart and arms. I am particularly drawn to the birth and postpartum period which led me to discovering placenta encapsulation to support the transition a woman makes into caring for a newborn whether it's her first or fifth or more. I'm an advocate of bringing this long held tradition into our collective attention, and I enjoy working with the women who entrust me with the process during this sacred time in their lives. I look forward to connecting with you if you're interested in having your placenta encapsulated.

In my spare time I enjoy being with my husband and little girl, hula hooping, natural health and living, yoga, and reveling in the (not always) quiet and calm of serving my home.
