PLACENTA ENCAPSULATION

PLACENTA ENCAPSULATION

You’ve just done one of the hardest things your body will ever do.

Now it’s time to heal, replenish, and regain your energy — not just “get by” in the weeks after birth.

Our Ancestors Knew what they were doing.

Placenta encapsulation has been used in cultures around the world for centuries to support postpartum recovery, and today, more and more new parents are discovering how it can:

  • Support hormonal balance

  • Boost energy levels

  • Aid milk supply

  • Promote faster physical healing

When your body is adjusting to life after birth, every little bit of support matters. Placenta encapsulation is one way to give yourself that extra layer of care.

Why My Clients Choose Placenta Encapsulation

It’s not just about the capsules, it’s about how they fit into a bigger picture of postpartum wellness.

I’ve worked with new parents who’ve said:

  • I’ve worked with new parents who’ve said:

  • “I felt steadier emotionally in those first weeks.”

  • “My energy didn’t crash like it did after my first baby.”

  • “I felt more like myself again, faster.”

I take the time to make this process simple, safe, and stress-free so you can focus on what matters most — your recovery and your baby.

FAQS

What are the main preparation methods?

I offer two common methods:

  1. Traditional Chinese Method (TCM): The placenta is steamed with herbs before dehydration, believed to have warming and balancing properties.

  2. Raw Method: The placenta is dehydrated without steaming, which may preserve certain nutrients and enzymes.

    I’ll walk you through both so you can decide what feels right for you.

When will I get my capsules?

I aim to have your capsules delivered within 10 days of birth — often sooner — so you can begin using them at the appropriate time. *Waiting 2 weeks after birth is recommended to have a well-established milk supply first.

Do I need to do anything before my birth?

Just a little planning. We’ll connect before your due date to go over storage instructions and how to contact me when your baby arrives. That way, your placenta can be picked up within 2 hours of delivery.

What if I deliver outside your service area?

My primary service area includes Irvine, Costa Mesa, Laguna Beach, Newport Beach, and nearby Beach Cities. If you’re delivering outside these areas, let’s chat — I may still be able to serve you or recommend someone I trust.

Will taking the capsules feel weird?

Most parents say they barely notice they’re taking them — except for the positive effects. The capsules are odorless, easy to swallow, and come with clear instructions for use.
