Nurturing your fourth trimester
Research and anecdotal experiences show that consuming encapsulated placenta can assist with mood stabilization and provide vital hormonal support following birth. We handle every step with the utmost safety, hygiene, and respect.
How the process works
After your delivery, hospital staff place your placenta in a leak-proof container kept chilled in a cooler with ice. Our specialist picks it up within a few hours of birth or coordinates directly with your birth doula. The placenta is sanitized, prepared, and encapsulated off-site or in-home, and finished capsules are hand-delivered to your doorstep within days.
When to reserve your service
You can reserve placenta encapsulation as soon as you feel ready, ideally several weeks before your estimated due date so we can ensure on-call availability. Get started by filling out our quick interest form, and we will follow up with full details and preparation guides.
