Placenta Encapsulation
Placenta encapsulation is the practice of preparing capsules of dehydrated and ground placenta for consumption. These capsules are taken by the birthing parent and are believed to provide numerous health benefits. Your mileage may vary.
​
​
Many birthing parents who consume their encapsulated placenta report:
​
-
reduced incidence & severity of postpartum depression
-
fewer and/or less intense mood swings
-
increased milk supply
-
reduced fatigue
-
higher energy
-
more rapid recovery
-
reduced bleeding time
-
higher iron/hemoglobin levels
-
less postpartum hair loss
Encapsulation fee is $275 (minus deposit).
Balance is due when I pick up your placenta.
-
A $25 non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your encapsulation.
-
This $25 is credited toward the $275 encapsulation fee.
-
Balance of $250 is due when I pick up your placenta.
-
For your remaining balance after the deposit, I accept cash, Venmo, Zelle, PayPal or Cash App.
-
We will provide you with a transport kit which you will pick up from me a few weeks before your due date.
-
When you go into labor, just text me. Then text me again after baby is born to schedule pick up.
-
You will need someone to bring your placenta to the entrance of the hospital for pick up. I am not able to come inside the hospital for pick up.
-
If you have a scheduled induction or cesarean date, please share that information with me.
