Be they carnivores, herbivores or omnivores, most mammals ingest their placenta(s) almost immediately after birth. A few exceptions are marsupial mammals and some of those who dwell in the water. As well, camels are a rare exception…and you know how cranky they are!

For thousands of years the iron-rich placenta has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine to enhance postpartum wellbeing. Studies have clearly shown the efficacy of ingesting the placenta (called placentophagia) to balance moods, decrease postpartum fatigue (and therefore depression) and to increase energy, milk supply and the general feeling of wellbeing.

I am a Placenta Encapsulation Specialist trained through Placenta Benefits Info. I will process your placenta (within 24-36 hours of your birth) and provide valuable capsules that you may ingest as soon as possible to aid in your postpartum recovery.

The fee for processing your placenta into capsules is $250. Most placentas, depending on size, will provide 80-120 capsules.

If you’d like a print of your placenta, often referred to as “the tree of life” I will make one at no additional charge. If you would like your print painted with ink and watercolor, your total fee will be $325, or $350 if framed.

Please contact me when you believe your labor is beginning (daytime calls are much appreciated!) so that I can add your placenta processing into my schedule.

The amazing placenta…made by you, for you!
