Your postpartum recovery deserves nurturing and care, and placenta encapsulation is a natural way to support your body during this transformative time. I am proud to offer placenta encapsulation, with the option of freeze-dried or dehydrated capsules, tailored to your preferences.
About Placenta Encapsulation
Why Choose Placenta Encapsulation
-

Improved energy levels during postpartum recovery

Balanced mood and hormones, reducing the risk of baby blues or postpartum depression
-
Increased milk supply for breastfeeding moms
-
Higher iron levels, aiding in recovery and reducing fatigue

Freeze-Dried vs. Dehydrated Capsules
-
Freeze-Dried: This method preserves more nutrients, enzymes, and hormones by using low temperature processing. It offers longer shelf life and milder taste. (Can be processed raw or steamed before)
-
Dehydrated: This method is the traditional option that uses heat and airflow to prepare the placenta. While slightly less nutrient-dense than freeze-drying, it is still a wonderful way to capture the benefits of your placenta.(Can be processed raw or steamed before)
The Process
-
I handle the placenta with the upmost care, following safety protocols through the process. Each placenta is carefully cleaned, processed, and encapsulated with your health and safety as my priority. All work areas are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized beforehand, and gloves and PPE are always used while handling the placenta. You can choose to add keepsake options, such as placenta prints or cord keepsakes, to commemorate this special time.

For a colorful and artistic keepsake, I offer placenta prints made with dyes. you can choose your color palette, making this a truly personalized piece of art. This method still captures the unique "tree of life" design.
Please note: Due to the use of dye, I do not recommend pairing this service with Placenta Encapsulation.
