PLACENTA ENCAPSULATION

Placenta encapsulation is an optional postpartum service offered to support recovery in the early weeks after birth.

After delivery, your placenta is carefully prepared, dehydrated, and placed into capsules for personal use. This practice has been used across cultures as a way to honor the body’s work during pregnancy and birth, and to support the transition into the postpartum period.

Some clients choose encapsulation to support:

  • replenishment after birth

  • energy levels during recovery

  • emotional balance

  • milk supply

While experiences vary, many find it to be a meaningful addition to their postpartum care.
