FAQ: Placenta Encapsulation

How many capsules will I get?

Each placenta is unique and has a different size and mass. Depending on the size and the choice of preparation it usually ranges between 115-200.

How are things sanitized?

How do we keep the placenta before you pick it up?

The most important thing is that it is kept cold until your specialist arrives. Keep in the fridge or on ice at all times. Some hospitals and birth centers will put it in a holding fridge until it is picked up. Other hospitals won't hold it for you. In that case, just just take to your car or put with personal belongings until we arrive. MAKE SURE IT DOES NOT GO TO PATHOLOGY where formaldehyde is used and then encapsulation is not viable. We require that you provide a hot/cold freezer bag and keep the placenta covered in ice until our arrival. As long as it is kept in ice, it is safe until we are able to pick it up.

What makes you different than other encapsulators?

Encapsulation itself can be done by anyone, however ensuring the quality and care of your precious placenta was our goal in becoming certified and following these high standards of care is our goal. What makes someone a Placenta Specialist is a formal intensive training and certifications. There is a high degree and need for safety surrounding the placenta process and it is important that we be fully knowledgeable and educated when offering this service to clients. Certification teaches the normality of placentophagy and also to look for abnormalities when the placenta is not viable or advised to be consumed.

Can you encapsulate in my home?

Absolutely! I can encapsulate in either my personal work space or your home. If home is desired then travel expenses would be added. Our home studios are kept clean and up to medical codes for sanitation to keep our clients safe. Some specialists only encapsulate in the clients home, but we feel that life is busy enough after a baby, and to keep the process simpler mamas love that we process the placenta in our home studios.
