Your Placenta Encapsulation Specialist will work in your home, so you will be aware of everything that happens with your placenta. She is minimally invasive to your space and completely respectful of your need to bond with your baby. All you will have to do is let her in, show her your kitchen and she will get right to work. If you’d like to observe and be a part of the process, or ask questions about what exactly is going on, your are more than welcome to!  She is also trained as a postpartum doula and newborn care specialist, so feel free to ask her any questions you may have about that as well.

Placenta encapsulation is a two-day process. The first visit is about two hours, where she will prepare the placenta for dehydration. Once she gets the placenta set up on the professional-grade dehydrator, she will clean up the kitchen and leave the placenta to dry. The next day, she will return for another two hours to grind the dried placenta and place it into capsules for you.
