I am a Certified Placenta Encapsulation Specialist (CPES.) to prepare placenta capsules for new mothers in Vermont with an FDA-approved Traditional Chinese Medicine method. I follow OSHA/EPA guidelines for safely handling bloodborne pathogens.
Thank you for my placenta capsules and the difference you make in many new lives. ~E.P., Essex Junction, VT.
You can encapsulate if you birth at hospital, home, or via cesarean.
To comply with state/federal guidelines, I complete each encapsulation in client’s kitchen or that of friend/family member. I don’t offer pickup/drop off service and accustomed to working in a carriage house, Airbnb rental, or well-equipped basement. I bring necessary equipment, including protective wear (disposable gloves, apron), and only need access to hot water, sink, stovetop, electrical outlet, and counter space (both sides of sink). Regardless where I encapsulate, I arrive with mask and clean hands.
Your thorough care, kind personality, and gentle spirit make what you do much more than a job. I’m thankful to have met you. ~A.K., Woodstock, VT.
I received my certification with Placenta Benefits (PBU) world standard in placenta encapsulation training and only organization with Standard Operating Procedures on file with FDA in the United States. I keep a ServSafe Food Manager Certification and OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Certificate and handle each placenta with care …. Certificate-2023
My capsules were amazing! Zero anxiety/depression, less fatigue, deep sleep, more energy, more milk, less pain. I wish I’d done with my 1st baby! ~R.H., Stowe, VT.
Placenta capsules contain:
- Protein
- Hormones (i.e., oxytocin, prolactin)
- Trace elements (i.e., iron, zinc)
- B Vitamins (i.e., b6, b12)
- Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
- Immunoglobulin G (IgG)
- Placental Opioid-Enhancing Factor
Placenta capsules can:
-
- Balance hormones
- Stimulate breastmilk supply
- Increase iron/energy
- Decrease risk of “baby blues” and/or depression/anxiety
- Relieve pain from caesarean birth or stitches
- Tighten and tone uterus to pre-pregnancy size
- Strengthen immune system
- Shorten postpartum bleeding/lochia
- Regulate thyroid
- Birth recovery
I plan to encapsulate again and won’t give birth without this postpartum healing! ~L.B., Burlington, VT.
The encapsulation process:
I complete each encapsulation in client’s home kitchen in 2 separate steps; once from 10am-1pm and again from 5-7pm. Any surface and equipment that cannot be immersed in 10% bleach solution are sanitized with an EPA approved surface disinfectant. Your kitchen will be clean and able to use in between each step the day I come to encapsulate. I ask that pets and small children are kept in another room during my work.
I am tidy and quiet during this special, intimate time in your life and do not consider myself a guest nor expect to meet the new mother and baby. Upon my departure, I will leave you with a dosage card that will state how to begin taking your capsules along with how many you received; most moms receive anywhere from 80-200 capsules for postpartum use.
I didn’t experience PPD like I did with my first baby, so glad to be present for those precious weeks with a newborn. I wish all women knew you. ~A.J., Brattleboro, VT.
Choose from plain or grape-flavored capsules when you book online.
The placenta is naturally rich in hormones that can provide a new mother with a deep sense of calm because the opioid-enhancing factor in placental tissue is shown to stimulate her own opioids and endorphins to reduce pain and increase well-being. Many mothers seek me out for this hormone inducing effect in order to feel strong and steady after giving birth.
