Placenta encapsulation in Spokane
The Catching House in Spokane offers placenta encapsulation. If you are working with a midwife, ask whether they offer it too. Talk with your provider about whether it is right for you.
Birth photographers in Spokane
A birth photographer captures your labor, birth, or first hours with your baby. Ask me for names of Spokane photographers I know, and check each hospital's policy on photos during birth.
