Placenta Encapsulation

  • Placenta encapsulation involves carefully processing the placenta after birth so that it can be placed into capsules and consumed by the mother.

    Across cultures and centuries the placenta has been revered for its symbolic significance and believed healing properties. There are many ways cross culturally to honor the placenta, by encapsulating it we are offering one way to honor this life-giving organ while harnessing its potential benefits for your postpartum health.

    If you are birthing at a hospital or birthing center I'll drop off a cooler for you before 37 weeks of pregnancy to bring with you to your birth place.  If you are birthing at home your midwife will assist in proper storage of the placenta in your refrigerator until I arrive.  

    Depending on the time of day you give birth I'll pick up sometime during daytime hours.  Placenta will remain on ice in the cooler (hospitals have ice machines to easily fill the cooler) or in your refrigerator until I pick up within 24 hours of you giving birth.  Upon arriving at the hospital, let your nurse and/or provider know you'd like to keep your placenta. Once delivered, they will place it in a plastic container to store in the cooler.  They're used to this and happily accommodate.  Text me once baby is born and we'll coordinate pickup.

    Reach out to me if you’d like to move forward with this process or if you have any questions.

“Ali had an amazing grounding presence and was able to help us navigate transition and getting our midwife over. She made sure to capture the moments through video and pictures for us, helped clean our birthing space, and made me breakfast. We also hired her to do placental encapsulation, which we had back within a couple of days. We would absolutely recommend working with her, and would love to do it again!”
