Testimonial for Atrik Marlene Pineda

After having my baby, I decided to try placenta encapsulation for the first time, and I’m so glad I connected with Marlene of Our Nest RI through my doula, Sharnece. Marlene was incredibly warm, professional, and made the entire process seamless — which meant a lot during those early postpartum days.

She handled pickup and delivery with care and communicated clearly throughout. The capsules were beautifully packaged, and she even followed up with me afterward, which made me feel genuinely supported.

I finished all the capsules and didn’t experience any negative symptoms. While I didn’t notice any dramatic changes, I also didn’t have any emotional dips or physical setbacks. My recovery felt calm and steady overall. Compared to my first postpartum experience back in 2008, this one felt much more grounded. Even if I can’t say for certain how much of that came from the capsules, I’m grateful for the balance and energy I experienced during recovery.

This was a new and personal journey for me, and I truly appreciate Marlene’s nurturing energy and the care she brings to her work. I would absolutely recommend Our Nest RI to other families considering placenta encapsulation or seeking gentle, supportive postpartum services.
