Meet Samantha Davis, owner and operator of Mommy Made Encapsulation Southern California. Samantha was born and raised in the San Gabriel Valley, where she then graduated from FIDM in L.A. at the age of 19 with an Associates of Arts degree in Visual Communications. After pursuing her career in the visual arts industry for the past decade, she and her fiancé became pregnant with their first child. While pregnant, she fell in love with all things pregnancy and birth related, placenta encapsulation being one of them. Having already known a little bit about placenta encapsulation, she knew this would be one of her first steps in taking control of her postpartum recovery! Samantha was able to experience all of the benefits that her placenta had to offer, including lessening her symptoms of Postpartum Anxiety, giving her extra energy, and helping with milk production. Her interest in holistic medicine and alternative postpartum support in combination with benefiting from her capsules first-hand, led her to explore this industry further. Seeing for herself the void in the postpartum healthcare system, she wanted to become an active part in creating a better recovery period for all new mothers by opening her very own branch of the Mommy Made brand. While on maternity leave, Samantha earned both of her certifications – Bloodborne Pathogens and OSHA’s Safe Food Handling License, along with completing her Placenta Preparation Certification Program with IPPA, International Placenta & Postpartum Association, along with extensive hands-on training and mentor-ship with Juliane Corona. She now successfully manages the Southern California branch for all new mommies within the L.A., O.C., and I.E. counties. On this episode we discuss her journey into becoming the owner of MME SoCal, the benefits and misconceptions of placenta encapsulation, being flexible and adaptible with motherhood, knowing your options & rights with regards to your birth, being passionate about her work, and what's next for Samantha.
