Your Trusted Provider for Bay Area Placenta Encapsulation
Placenta encapsulation is both an art, and a science designed to preserve your baby’s placenta for your consumption over an extended period of time.
The ingestion of one’s placenta has been a valued practice in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Western medicine has not recognized its value, but at Redwood Doulas, we do. We embrace this traditional form of medicine, and we continue its practice based on the benefits reported by our clients.
Safe, convenient & professional placenta encapsulation
Redwood Doulas artfully prepares your placenta for consumption while adhering to the highest safety standards possible. This delicate service is exclusively done in your home for your absolute assurance. Your Postpartum Placenta Specialist will come to your home fully prepared with sanitized equipment and all of the materials necessary.
The placenta is the only organ created with an expiration date. It is formed during pregnancy and acts as a lifeline between the parent and the baby.
The placenta is responsible for oxygenating and feeding your growing baby and communicating with your body using hormones to prepare it for birth. The placenta’s exit from your body also leaves a hormonal void that can shock your system. Consumption of the placenta can assist in your transition and gently guide your body to its new normal after pregnancy.
Your placenta will be thoroughly cleaned, steamed, and sliced into thin pieces in preparation for dehydration. It is then placed on the sterilized dehydrator overnight. The following day, the placenta is carefully ground and placed inside gel capsules for easy ingestion.
We invite you to be as involved or uninvolved in the process as you choose. Contact us today to discuss the encapsulation of your precious placenta!
