Placenta Encapsulation
Oh, the glorious placenta. Or, as the veinous pattern on it is commonly referred, the tree of life. This amazing organ is what delivers all of the babies nutrients, blood and oxygen. Some parents decide to have the placenta encapsulated after birth, for numerous benefits.
Placenta encapsulation has been reported to support more stable moods, higher energy levels, as well as increased milk supply in the postpartum period.
Your placenta would be picked up at the hospital shortly after the birth of your baby, taken to my dedicated space for placenta processing (I am trained in the TCM method), and returned to you- encapsulated- within 72 hours. A placental tincture is included as well.

Placenta Encapsulation FAQs
What are some of the benefits of placenta encapsulation?
Mood stability, higher energy levels, higher milk supply, & quick recovery are all benefits that have been reported from placenta encapsulation.
Are there any scenarios where placenta encapsulation would not be recommended?
Placenta encapsulation would not be recommended if there are signs of infection at, or shortly after, birth in the birther or the baby.
Is placenta encapsulation safe?
The safety of placenta encapsulation depends on proper handling and preparation. I am trained in the Traditional Chinese Medicine method, which includes steaming and dehydrating the placenta.
Can I encapsulate the placenta if I’m having twins or multiples?
Of course! And, you’ll likely have about twice the typical amount of capsules- depending on the size of the placenta(s).
Can placenta be encapsulated after cesarean section?
Yes! Absolutely. In this case, it would be a good idea to make sure your birth team is aware that you will be keeping your placenta.
Can I encapsulate with you if I live outside of the Omaha Area?
As long as you are delivering in Omaha, we can work together. I would make sure to have your placenta complete before you head back home, and deliver it to your birthing location.
