$300, you may choose to add on a tincture and/or salve for an additional $50 each.

Just let your nurses know that you would like to keep your placenta and they will have you sign a release form. Be sure to let me know what hospital you will be giving birth at and I will let you know their specific policies and procedures and we can coordinate pickup. 

The amount of capsules depends on the size of the placenta. Using the Traditional Chinese Method of encapsulation, it usually ranges anywhere from 70-150. Average is about 100. 

If you are outside my 20 mile delivery zone then there will be an extra charge. Please inquire. if you are outside of Orange County arrangements can sometimes be made.

Absolutely! Just let your nurses know and the rest of the process is the exact same.

No problem! Just let your midwife know and they will package it up for you. Just store it in your  refrigerator and text me know so we can coordinate pick up ASAP.

This is actually pretty common and it isn't contraindicated if prepared properly. As long as the person preparing the placenta is properly trained and the placenta is prepared using the TCM method and cooked at the proper temperature to kill the bacteria. I recommend this method over the raw method and this is the way I prepare all placentas unless otherwise requested.  

Placenta Encapsulation should be done by someone with the proper training and education. I am a Licensed Midwife and have been encapsulating placentas in Orange County since 2009. I am trained in handling blood borne pathogens, sterilization and infection prevention.

There is zero chance of that happening. I only work on one at a time.

I have a preparation kitchen that is specifically dedicated to preparing placentas. Everything is properly cleaned and sterilized. In-home preparation also available for an additional fee.

I am trained in the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) process of placenta encapsulation.  The placenta is cleaned very well and then steamed.  Next, it is dehydrated  and  ground into a powder before being encapsulated. Raw preparation is also available if you prefer, however this is contraindicated for GBS positive mothers.

Yes! My fee includes pick up and delivery. Families appreciate the ease of this since things are a bit hectic just after having a baby. Text me when when it’s ready for pickup and we can coordinate.  There is an additional fee for traveling more than 30 minutes from Aliso Viejo. 

Turn around time is only 1-2 days! I strive to be fast so you can start enjoying the benefits of your capsules as soon as possible.

Arrangements can be made for customers in surrounding counties with an additional fee for travel.

I will provide you with dosage instructions and capsule care information.

I also offer a tincture and a salve as an add on to your capsules for an additional fee.

The tincture is an alcohol based concentrated extract of the placenta. It can extend the benefits of your placenta even longer after your capsules run out.  The tincture takes 6 weeks to prepare and will be delivered after it is complete.

The salve is a healing ointment combining the calming benefits of calendula and comfrey leaf with your placenta powder. Can be used for yourself for any skin ailment or as a diaper cream for baby.

I accept cash, check, Zelle or credit card.

After you give birth I will send you a quick form to fill out.

No. Just give me a call or text when you have the baby and we can coordinate pickup. Make sure you tell your nurse you want to keep the placenta. If possible, let me know where you'll be giving birth so I can keep you informed of the hospitals procedures for releasing the placenta. 

If you your doctor sends your placenta to pathology and it is treated with formaldehyde then you wont be able to encapsulate. Additionally, encapsulation is contraindicated if you get a fever during labor.

A complementary placenta print can be requested. It is made using natural food colorings so the placenta can still be ingested after.

Yes, for an additional fee I can come to your home and prepare your placenta there for you. Please inquire.
