Calvo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Founder | San Antonio<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carmen Calvo founded The Nurturing Root in November 2011 in&nbsp;Baltimore, MD. Having struggled with postpartum fatigue, anxiety and sadness after the birth of her first child, Carmen was eager to find a natural way to avoid these feelings again when she became pregnant with her second baby. Carmen began studying the benefits of placentophagy and had her placenta encapsulated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The difference it made in her physical and emotional well being made Carmen a firm believer in the healing properties of a baby\u2019s placenta \u2013 her mood stabilized, her energy levels rose, and her breast milk supply greatly increased. Gone was the feeling of being on an emotional roller coaster; the placenta encapsulation experience helped Carmen to experience motherhood the way she had always wanted to experience it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carmen was so passionate about placentophagy that she dedicated herself to training as a placenta encapsulation specialist. Eager to share the placenta\u2019s restorative powers with other parents, and inspired by the image a placenta created when printed, she started The Nurturing Root, and has been happily offering her services ever since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the years, The Nurturing Root has grown to include full service birth and postpartum support in San Antonio since 2018. We&#8217;ve supported hundreds of families in their journey and transition into parenthood, and it has been an honor to witness families grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re a San Antonio parent-to-be, let Carmen be a part of your birth experience \u2013 and give yourself and your baby the gift of postpartum health and contentment.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id5201_d69ec6-e0 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:center;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id5201_d69ec6-e0 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:center;}.kb-row-layout-id5201_d69ec6-e0 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);max-width:var( --global-content-width, 1290px );padding-left:var(--global-content-edge-padding);padding-right:var(--global-content-edge-padding);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);min-height:500px;grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr) minmax(0, 2fr);}.kb-row-layout-id5201_d69ec6-e0 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;background-image:url('https:\/\/thenurturingrootsa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Depositphotos_58791971_l-2015.jpg');background-size:cover;background-position:50% 25%;background-attachment:scroll;background-repeat:no-repeat;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id5201_d69ec6-e0 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:repeat(2, minmax(0, 1fr));}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id5201_d69ec6-e0 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id5201_d69ec6-e0 alignnone has-theme-palette2-background-color kt-row-has-bg wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-layout-overlay kt-row-overlay-normal\"><\/div><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-2-columns kt-row-layout-right-golden kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-middle kb-theme-content-width\">\n<style>.kadence-column5201_21e8f2-20 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column5201_21e8f2-20 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column5201_21e8f2-20 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column5201_21e8f2-20 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column5201_21e8f2-20 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column5201_21e8f2-20 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column5201_21e8f2-20{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column5201_21e8f2-20 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column5201_21e8f2-20 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column5201_21e8f2-20\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column5201_6ed7dc-f0 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column5201_6ed7dc-f0 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column5201_6ed7dc-f0 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column5201_6ed7dc-f0 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column5201_6ed7dc-f0 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column5201_6ed7dc-f0 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column5201_6ed7dc-f0{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column5201_6ed7dc-f0 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column5201_6ed7dc-f0 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column5201_6ed7dc-f0\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-right has-theme-palette-9-color has-text-color\">Have questions?
