The fee for encapsulating your placenta is $150 or $125 for my full fee doula clients.
Includes the two day encapsulation process, capsules stored in a cobalt blue glass jar with dosage and storage instructions, postpartum followup, and availability to answer any questions. A spiral or heart shaped cord keepsake is available upon request.
The Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) inspired preparation involves lightly steaming the cleansed and drained placenta with lemon and ginger before dehydrating, grinding and encapsulating. These elements assist in adding warmth and distribution throughout the body to further enhance the work of the placenta. These properties are given to the placenta during steaming. Nothing is added to or included directly in the capsules. The strained herbal/placental "broth" can be saved in a jar upon request for adding to tea, soups, or smoothies or frozen for future use. Any of the steaming elements can be omitted based on the client's preferences, allergies, or contraindications.
