Encapsulation & The Process
Your postpartum, or fourth trimester, can be a sweet and beautiful time! It can also be a time of trial and difficulties. 80% of women experience the "baby blues" and One in Five experience postpartum mood disorders (one in three for women of color)! After baby is born the placenta is delivered shortly after. Along with the placenta being released from the body, the hormones that you have had for the last 9 months leave the body. After birth, a mothers hormones can shift back to pre-pregnancy in as little as 5 days, this is a huge and rapid shift! Encapsulating your placenta allows you the opportunity to slowly replace these hormones and nutrients so your fourth trimester is a time of slower transition. Placenta Encapsulation is the most convenient, non invasive way to consume your placenta since it is in an easy to take capsule. Placenta Tincture can offer the restorative benefits of placenta encapsulation with a longer shelf life - even being beneficial into menopause!
Why Placenta Encapsulation?
Placenta encapsulation has many benefits! Women have reported that it can help with:
- Balancing your hormones after delivery
- Decreasing chances of postpartum depression and mood disorders following pregnancy
- Increasing energy
- Higher levels of oxytocin
- Increase in Iron
- Reducing postpartum bleeding by helping your uterus to return to its pre-pregnancy size.
If you choose to have a placenta tincture, the benefits will be preserved for use past the life of the placenta pills. This includes your first postpartum periods and all the way to menopause!

Safety Standards
Your health and safety is my utmost priority. I adhere only to the highest levels of safety and standards of practice for OSHA blood borne pathogens and food safety. You can rest assured that I am a professional encapsulator. I have taken the appropriate professional training to obtain certification for this process and hold a certification in blood borne pathogen safety and food handlers certification in the state of Texas.
Before Processing
After you have reserved placenta encapsulation services with me -
When baby (and your placenta) arrives let your provider know you would like to keep your placenta. Your hospital or birth center will put your placenta in either a large round container or large zip bags. You then place this in a cooler on ice. Placentas need to be on ice within 3 hours of birth. (All of these directions are included when you book encapsulation services!)
Contact me after your placenta is on ice and we will get pick up scheduled!
Processing your Placenta
We prepare your placenta by first cleansing it thoroughly with water without adding anything to it and dehydrate it at a safe temperature meeting safety standards outlined by my Texas Food Handlers license and Certification Organization. This method “simply dehydrated” or “raw” (but it isn’t actually raw - it is heated in the dehydrating process!) is said to offer quicker energy after taking your capsules.
We never add any additional ingredients to your placenta*. You can be assured that you will be receiving back something that is 100% yours! Your placenta was made by you and is perfectly designed to meet your postpartum needs.
We never process more than one placenta at a time. This eliminates any chances of your placenta having cross contamination. The entire prep area is sanitized using an OSHA approved bleach and water mixture before, during and after working in the encapsulation process.
Once your placenta is fully dehydrated, it is ground into a fine powder and added to capsules for easy consumption.
*The only exception would be in the event of heavy meconium staining, we would gently cleanse the placenta with organic apple cider vinegar before preparation. Depending on the individual situation this might also require steaming before dehydration, if this is necessary, you will be contacted before moving forward with the steaming process.
