Are you hoping for a more peaceful postpartum period? Worried about how you will feel after you give birth?
My belief is that no matter who you are and what your birth experience is (or will be) you DESERVE to have your placenta encapsulated the way you want it. Each placenta is handled with love and care. I follow strict OSHA and food safety guidelines as my top priority is your health and safety.

BenefitsThe placenta you give birth to, kept your baby nourished and healthy throughout pregnancy and development. Why throw it away? Other mammals don't discard their placenta and instinctively know the benefits. Some people notice: *Increased Energy *Enhanced breast milk supply *More stable mood (hormone balancing) *Faster healing as well as lessened bleeding *Helping with symptoms of menses when it returns The hope is, you will have an easier recovery from your birth, than you would without your placenta. None of these benefits are a guarantee, and if you choose this service as part of your postpartum plan, you are taking responsibility for your health and usage of them. |
Your placenta feeds the baby and transfers waste out of baby so that you can dispose of it. The placenta acts as a facilitator, and does not hold on to toxins or waste. Some of the hormones found in the placenta that can benefit you after are:

Myths of Benefits: No one should be making claims or promises of benefits of this service. Everyone responds differently and their experiences in healing vary based on many factors. Placenta Pills are not guaranteed to help you: * lose weight * prevent postpartum depression * increase milk supply * prevent postpartum hair loss Be cautious of any business promising these effects as we cannot ethically make these claims. |
Kit to Transport PlacentaTo make sure that your placenta is packaged and stored properly, I will mail you a cooler bag, ziploc bags and instructions, for no extra charge as long as you book me within 2 weeks of your due date (USPS)
This makes things much easier for the hospital staff and gives you and I the assurance that the placenta is safe. There is no additional charge. |
How it WorksPlacenta Encapsulation is a two-part process and most of the time is spent dehydrating. Once the placenta has been either steamed or sliced up in it's raw state, it is dehydrated for 24 hours at 160 degrees. Next, it is made into powder and put into capsules, for an easier way to eat the placenta. I renew my Bloodborne Pathogens Certification annually. As well as my Food Safety Certificate every 3 years. I treat all placentas with Universal Precautions. I offer two different ways to prepare the placenta before dehydrating. Both methods end up in pill form. The choice is either steamed with water and herbs (optional) or raw-sliced up in it's natural form. This decision is made by the client based on their preference. I am also happy to discuss these options to give you more information. |

I had Shawna encapsulate my placenta for the second time and it went just as smooth as the first time. Super easy and helpful. I like taking them before my daily nap and after I feel energized and refreshed. I have used Shawna for a few pregnancies now and have been very pleased. She's extremely efficient and accommodating, professional and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for encapsulation services! |

Placenta Keepsakes

many parents like to keep the cord keepsake as it is a symbol of the connection between them and their child, if you do not want it, it can be dried and added in with the pills.

Placenta Prints are a nice way to keep the memory of the placenta in an artful way. I use the blood as the "ink". Some people like to have color added in the form of paint or food coloring. You have a choice in have a print with blood or a print with paint or one of each! |
