Placenta encapsulation is a thoughtful and personalized service designed to support new mothers in their postpartum journey. Service provides comprehensive care from the moment your baby arrives, ensuring a seamless and stress-free experience. We offer local hospital pick-up, making the process as convenient as possible for you during this special time. Once your placenta is collected, it is handled with the utmost care and respect, following strict safety and sanitation protocols.


The encapsulation process typically takes between 24 to 72 hours, ensuring a quick turnaround time so that you can begin experiencing the potential benefits of your placenta capsules as soon as possible. Each capsule is carefully prepared and sealed, preserving the nutrients believed to support postpartum recovery, including boosting energy levels, balancing hormones, and promoting overall well-being.


In addition to encapsulation, we offer a tincture option for those looking for a longer-lasting supplement. The tincture is created from a small portion of your placenta, which is steeped in alcohol for 6 to 8 weeks. This results in a potent extract that can be used well into the postpartum period and beyond, offering continued support during times of stress or hormonal changes.


My goal is to provide you with a safe, professional, and compassionate service that honors the unique bond between mother and baby. By choosing my placenta encapsulation service, you're investing in your well-being during one of the most transformative times in your life.
