Placenta Encapsulation
Providing Placenta Pills Encapsulation services to Fall River, Massachusetts and surrounding area, including Rhode Island.

How Does Placenta Encapsulation Work
Placenta is cleaned and prepared
If art prints are requested, prints are created
If steaming method is requested or required, placenta is first steamed on both sides until the internal temperature reaches 140-160 Degrees Fahrenheit
Placenta is dehydrated for 12 - 24 hours, at 160 Degrees Fahrenheit
If Umbilical Cord Keepsake is requested, the Umbilical Cord is dehydrated (typically in heart shape)
Dehydrated placenta is ground into a fine powder and added to capsules, packaged, and delivered to you with any other requested products
If you’re interested in simply honoring your amazing organ that your body grew to hold your baby for 9 months of pregnancy, I can still prepare your placenta for:

also makes a great fertilizer
a topical salve for:

What to Expect
Placenta Pickup
I will provide you with an insulated bag to bring to your birthing place to contain your placenta. Nursing staff should be able to provide ice to keep your placenta cool until I arrive for pickup. You should check the ice regularly to ensure proper cooling is maintained in cooler.
If pickup is delayed, or birthing place requires immediate removal of placenta, it may be stored in your refrigerator for up to 48 hours. After 48 hours, you should freeze the placenta until pickup can be arranged.
Placenta pills and any other products required are typically ready for delivery between 2 and 4 days after pickup.
Products will be hand delivered and will include suggested usage guidelines.
Safety Protocols
Placentas are always dehydrated at a minimum of 160 Degrees Fahrenheit
Placentas are prepared in a dedicated space within my home, which is away from pets and off limits to others for the duration of placenta preparation
Placenta preparation space is cleaned and sanitized before and after each placenta processing day
To prevent cross-contamination, we use disposable items for each placenta; aside from dehydrator, grinder, and capsule filler, which are washed, then sanitized in a 15-minute bleach bath after each use
I only process one (1) placenta at a time, so your placenta will never get accidentally mistaken for someone else’s
New/Unused Personal Protective Equipment is worn during placenta processing
gown
apron
face mask
safety glasses or face shield
gloves
hair net
Placenta Tree Burial
Bring with you to your birthing place:
a container (or a few gallon sized freezer bags)
cooler for placenta.
Place the placenta (inside its container) inside the cooler with ice so that it remains fresh until it is home.
Freeze the placenta unless it will be buried within the first week after birth. It can remain safely frozen long-term.
Prior to burial, remove the placenta from any containers, and place the placenta into a biodegradable container.
Bury your placenta 16-18 inches into the ground, place some soil so the placenta has time to decompose before the tree’s roots reach the placenta, then plant your chosen tree 4-6 inches above your placenta (your tree should be planted about 12 inches deep into the ground).
To use a large urn or pot, place 6-8 inches of soil into the pot, then the placenta, then 4-6 inches of soil, then the tree.
Care for your newly planted placenta tree according to its tree planting guidelines.
