Placenta Encapsulation FAQ
When you are trying to decided which services you want to invest in, you may find that you have MANY questions.
Selecting birth or postpartum services involves confidence and trust in the company you use.
You will find the solutions to many of your questions below.
WHAT IS PLACENTA ENCAPSULATION?
First, we examine your placenta and wash off any residual blood.
Depending on your preparation preference, the placenta is either very thinly sliced, or gently steamed and then thinly sliced.
These slices go into a food grade dehydrator until the internal temperature reaches 160° F for about 8-10 hours.
It is then ground up into a fine powder and put into capsule form using an encapsulating device.
Your capsules are packaged in dark glass or PET plastic jars to protect the quality and potency.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RAW METHOD AND BASIC HEATED?
The raw foods method of preparation skips the heating process before dehydration.
Your placenta is only washed and sliced. This gives you more potent capsules and a higher yield.
The heated method gently warms the placenta. The placenta is sliced and dehydrated.
Basic Heated method aligns with the belief that the postpartum body needs warmth to adequately heal from birth, replenish and move fluids and remove obstructions.
Both have incredible benefits!

WHAT IS A PLACENTA TINCTURE?

Hypno-Baby session- 75 minute 1-on-1 prenatal session in your home, where I will leave you with a meditation that you can listen to for relaxation or labor.
Pack the hospital bag– I’ll bring a list from personal experience and a few things for your bag and we can spend some time gathering up what you will want at your hospital birth.
1 hour relaxation session, with your partner and I working together to show you some relaxation techniques that you can use during pregnancy and labor. (This is not a 1-hour massage session, but rather a tool to teach guided meditation with some hands on relaxation)
Meet your provider—I’m happy to attend a pre-natal appointment with you to meet your provider and discuss any questions you have about your birth and they may have about my role in your birth.
Milkin’ Cookies- Nursing is “natural” but not always easy. I’ll bring all the ingredients we need to bake your first batch of delicious nursing cookies which can be eaten now or to help boost your supply after the baby comes. While we are baking, we will discuss strategies you can use to set yourself up for success with nursing, and I’ll leave you with the yummy treats and lots of information!
Cloth Diaper Session– Interested in cloth diapering, but confused by all the newfangled terms and styles? I’ll bring over a few samples of diapers for you to touch and feel, and will leave you with a better understanding of whether this cloth diapering thing is for you.
Post-Partum Sacred Support Sessions
2nd night– Often times that 2nd night after the baby is born is the hardest, because everyone is tired, your milk has probably not come in yet, and your baby might want to nurse all the time. I can come back to the hospital/or your house and stay with you for a few hours, to help with nursing, to offer an extra set of hands and a calm presence while the baby is hungry.
Nap for Mama– I’ll come by after our first post-partum meeting, I’ll bring a yummy treat and you can go sleep while your baby is left in good hands for three hours. I’ll do some light housekeeping and snuggle your little one while you get some rest and a long shower. To be used within 3 weeks post-partum, unless discussed ahead of time.
