PLACENTA ENCAPSULATION

Placenta Services

Encapsulating your placenta can be a powerful way to honour your pregnancy, birth, and the transformative journey you’ve been on.

Many people choose encapsulation as a way to stay connected to their experience and honour the role their placenta played instead of it being thrown away. Anecdotally, mothers who ingest their placenta often report feeling calmer during the early weeks, and 98% say they would choose to do it again.

I offer Placenta Encapsulation and Tinctures as per the below packages,  covering South West London and parts of Surrey.

Services and Packages

Simple encapsulation

With the simple method (sometimes known as raw encapsulation) your placenta is rinsed, sliced, dehydrated, and ground before being put into capsules. This method is the more popular choice and produces more capsules than the steamed method.

Steamed encapsulation

The placenta is steamed before being sliced, dehydrated, ground, and put into capsules. This method produces slightly fewer capsules than the simple method. This method must be used if you’re a carrier of Strep B or meconium was present during birth.

Tincture & encapsulation

A tincture is a life-long remedy. Here, part of the placenta is steeped in strong alcohol for several weeks. You can add a few drops to a drink when you are seeking support with emotions, hormones, or an energy boost. Add this to your simple or steamed capsules for an enhanced placenta package.

Payment, Collection, and Delivery

Hospitals/Areas covered:

I cover the following hospitals and their surrouding areas for homebirths; Kingston Hospital, Epsom Hospital and St Helier Hospital in Sutton, St George’s Hospital in Tooting, Chelsea & Westminster Hospital, Croydon University Hospital, and Kings College Hospital. I may attend other hospitals for an additional travel fee of £30.

Payment:

A £100 non-refundable deposit is required to secure your booking and for the Placenta Collection Kit to be sent to you. The balance payment is due by 38 weeks of your pregnancy or prior to collection (whichever happens first). Payments are via bank transfer using an invoice payment link.

Collection Kit:

Once your deposit has been received, a full collection kit (including cool bag, ice packs, secure bag for your placenta, and full instructions for storing your placenta safely prior to collection) will be delivered to your home at around 36 weeks, or within 72 hours if booking after this time. The cost of this kit is included in the package price.

I will ask you to let me know when labour is happening and once the placenta has been born. Your placenta will be collected from you (at hospital or home) within 10 hours after birth, usually sooner. I aim to collect this personally and will never use a courier service.

Receiving your Placenta Remedies:

I work to return your capsules to you within 3-4 days, sometimes it will be sooner. Delivery is via Next Day Signed-For post, and this is included within the package price. I can hand deliver to the following postcodes for an additional £20 fee; SM4, SM1, SM3, KT4, KT3, SW20, SW19, SW17, CR4. Any tincture will be delivered later (unless you are happy to receive it with the placenta still in the bottle).
