Deb Pocica has already been overwhelmed with the help and generosity
of the doulas, placenta encapsulators, and friends who have raised
more than 10,000 to help her detangle herself from ProDoula.
She is almost done.
She and her legal team have been working toward closure to Deb's benefit!
While details cannot be discussed please consider helping again,
or for the first time with any amount of contribution.
Deb Pocica has been working to understand placentas, their use
for postpartum healing, and safety guidelines for almost a decade.
After taking a training and continuing her research and study,
she started her own training company, Tranquil Transitions in Chicago,
IL. in April 2013.
In 2014, Deb met Randy Patterson, CEO of ProDoula, at a business
training where Dep said aloud one of her goals was to grow her
training business and revolutionize the world of placenta
encapsulation.
She partnered with ProDoula to take her training to a larger
audience and Placenta Prep began to be offered as a ProDoula course in
April of 2015.
Deb believed she had found business partners who were able to
see her vision and offer support. She believed her partners valued
the process of learning and certification, to increase the standards
that placentas were being handled and given as an aid. She believed
her business partners would fulfill their duties as outlined in
their contract.
Deb was wrong, and Deb ended her business partnership.
Deb is near the end of untangling a lawsuit against her for
$500,000 in damages for using "trade secrets" of
ProDoulas.
The work to untangle this mother of 5 from this organization
is expensive.
While this suit is close to being over, having the continued
knowledge and support of her legal team requires we ask again for
your help.
