Placenta Services
The placenta is one of the most overlooked parts of pregnancy and birth, but this magical organ can help support you even after the baby is born. If you’re concerned about postpartum depression or anxiety, anemia, or dramatic hormone changes, consuming capsules, tinctures, or smoothies made from your placenta can help regulate and replenish hormones and nutrients after birth.
Potential Benefits of Encapsulation
Don’t worry about having to see or handle the placenta if you’re squeamish. I will coordinate pickup from the hospital or your home, preparation, encapsulation, and drop off. Within 48-72 hours, you will receive your capsules, a cord keepsake (spiral or heart shape upon request), a commemorative Tree of Life print, dosage and storage instructions, one postpartum visit, and any additional tinctures or salves. We will go through all instructions for pickup and dropoff during a prenatal meetup.
Choose from these encapsulation methods:
RAW Method
The RAW Method is inspired by the Raw Foods Movement. The placenta is never heated above 160 degrees Fahrenheit. This method creates a very nutrient and hormonal dense capsule.
Traditional Chinese Medicine
The Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) inspired preparation involves lightly steaming the cleansed and drained placenta with lemon and ginger before dehydrating and grinding into capsules. These elements assist in adding warmth to the body which enhances the effect of the placenta and speeds healing.
Pricing
Placenta encapsulation service starts at $225 and includes pick-up, drop-off, preparation of capsules, cord keepsake, Tree of Life print, dosage and storage instructions, and one postpartum visit.
