Placenta encapsulation is a traditional postpartum practice where the placenta is prepared and transformed into easy-to-take capsules after birth. Many parents choose this service as a way to support their postpartum recovery during a time of immense physical and emotional change.
I offer safe, professional placenta encapsulation using food-safety standards and a respectful, intentional process. Each placenta is handled individually, prepared using the Traditional Chinese Method (unless otherwise requested), dehydrated, finely ground, and encapsulated. Your placenta never comes into contact with anyone else’s, and confidentiality is always honored.
Parents often report benefits such as increased energy, improved mood, and support with postpartum depletion, though experiences vary and results have not been evaluated by the FDA. This service is not intended to diagnose, treat, or prevent any medical condition, but rather to complement your postpartum care.
If you’re interested in placenta encapsulation, we’ll go over collection, storage, and pickup ahead of time so everything feels clear, calm, and supported once your baby arrives.
$250
Placenta Encapsulation starts at $250. This includes seamless pickup and drop-off of your placenta and packaging. Included are instructions and guidelines of how to take your supplement. Feel free to add on any other options to your package or keep it as is! Typical turnaround for your package is 48 hours.

An umbilical cord keepsake is a meaningful way to honor the physical connection between parent and baby during pregnancy. After birth, the umbilical cord is preserved as a small memento to mark this transition from womb to world.
Many families choose this keepsake as a symbolic reminder of nourishment, connection, and the beginning of life outside the womb. It can also be a beautiful way to acknowledge the emotional significance of birth and postpartum.
Dehydrated and treated to last, this makes a beautiful addition to a shadow box, baby journal or keep in a memory box.
$10
A placenta print is a unique and artistic keepsake created by using the natural shape and vascular pattern of the placenta to make a one-of-a-kind impression. Often resembling a “tree of life,” each print is completely individual, just like your pregnancy and birth.
Many families choose a placenta print as a visual reminder of the organ that nourished their baby throughout pregnancy. It can be framed, placed in a baby book, or kept as a private memento to honor the journey from pregnancy to postpartum.
Prints can be created in a variety of colors or kept simple and natural, depending on your preference.
This keepsake offers a meaningful way to honor the life-sustaining role of the placenta and preserve a tangible memory of this season.
$20
Placenta chocolates are an alternative way to consume a small portion of the placenta in a form some parents find more approachable than capsules. A limited amount of powdered placenta is carefully prepared and blended into melted chocolate, then poured into individual servings. 12 chocolates are included in this offering.
Some parents choose placenta chocolates as a gentle introduction to placenta consumption or as an option for the early postpartum days. Others appreciate the ritual aspect, using the chocolate intentionally during moments of rest, reflection, or recovery.
Placenta chocolates are made using food-safety practices and handled with the same care and respect as all placenta services.
This option can be a meaningful addition for those looking for a more ceremonial or intentional approach to postpartum nourishment.
$30
A placenta tincture is a liquid extract made from a small portion of your placenta, preserved in alcohol for long-term use. Many parents choose a tincture as a flexible way to access the placenta’s potential benefits throughout the postpartum period to menopause.
Tinctures can be used in small, carefully measured amounts and are often incorporated into daily routines, such as adding a drop or two to water, tea, or under the tongue. Some parents appreciate the tincture as a subtle, personalized way to support postpartum recovery and emotional balance, while also serving as a meaningful keepsake of the birth experience.

When I prepare your placenta capsules, you have the option to include three herbs of your choice to support your postpartum journey. Each herb is chosen for its traditional benefits and potential synergy with your body’s natural recovery.
Herb options include:
Lemon – Supports immunity, digestion, and heart health; may help distribute nutrients from the placenta throughout the body.
Ginger – Warming and energizing; aids digestion, promotes good blood flow, and helps the body absorb nutrients.
Lavender – Calming and stress-reducing; may improve sleep, support emotional balance, and help with postpartum hot flashes.
Crushed Red Pepper – Boosts energy, supports heart health, and may help regulate blood sugar.
Turmeric – Known for its anti-inflammatory properties; traditionally used for digestive support, mood, and joint health.
Maca – Supports energy, stress management, and hormone balance; may help with postpartum mood and fatigue.
Red Raspberry Leaf – Supports uterine and pelvic muscle tone, wound healing, and postpartum recovery; rich in minerals and vitamins.
Ashwagandha – Adaptogenic herb that may relieve stress and anxiety, support heart health, and enhance focus and mental clarity.
How it works: You choose three herbs to add to your encapsulation package, and I carefully combine them with your placenta to create a personalized postpartum support system.
$150
After birth, your placenta can be transformed into nutrient-rich fertilizer to nourish your garden, plants, or yard. Closing the circle of life in a meaningful, eco-friendly way.
To enhance this, some parents use the Mama’s Broth Concentrate, a rich, nourishing postpartum broth that can also be diluted and used to water plants, giving them an extra boost of natural nutrients while honoring the life-giving power of your placenta.
This combination is a thoughtful way to honor your placenta without consuming it.
This service does not include placenta encapsulation as the fertilizer is all of what would be put inside a pill form.
