Placenta Encapsulation Tip: Save a 1/4 of your ca

Placenta Encapsulation Tip:

Save a 1/4 of your capsules for when you experience postpartum hair shedding.

Clients report it has helped reduce hair shedding around 3-6 months postpartum

Store capsules in the freezer.

Follow me for more postpartum emotional wellness and placenta encapsulation tips!

Placenta Encapsulation for the win!!

ℂ𝕃𝕀𝔼ℕ𝕋𝕊 ℝ𝔼ℙ𝕆ℝ𝕋

The vast majority of my clients report a positive experience with placenta encapsulation. The most common positive experiences are:
💜balanced mood
💜faster recovery
💜more energy
💜restful sleep
💜improved milk supply
💜less hair loss

A UNLV survey had similar reports; you can find the survey information below.

Selander J, Cantor A, Young SM, Benyshek DC. Human maternal placentophagy: a survey of self-reported motivations and experiences associated with placenta consumption. Ecol Food Nutr. 2013;52(2):93-115. doi: 10.1080/03670244.2012.719356. PubMed PMID: 2344539

A very small portion of clients report (about 1%) experiencing negative effects with encapsulation including headaches and mood swings. Usually a usage adjustment fixes that.

This is why my tag line is "It's not just an encapsulation, but an experience."
Heather turns a service into an experience. She encapsulated my placenta for my daughter 2 years ago and I already received my capsules from my son who was born 4 days ago. She creates and sends beautiful keepsakes in addition to your capsules, as well as a whole care package that is so beautifully packaged. I felt that the capsules really helped me in postpartum with my first and I assume it will be the same this time. She picks up your placenta directly from the hospital and does everything in a timely manner. She was even able to accommodate me when I reached out to her 3 days prior to my scheduled C-section. If you plan to have your placenta encapsulated in the Philadelphia area I could not recommend Heather's services more.

From Google: "Heather's services are very professional, My encapsulation experience was super easy and fast. I feel so much better during postpartum and wish I would have done this with my previous pregnancies. I also purchased the postpartum box to support milk supply and promote healing and so far have been enjoying everything Heather sent to me it was well worth the extra money spent. The balanced postpartum blend formulated by Heather is also very helpful and I look forward to trying her other blends in the future. So far I have not experienced PPD this time around and the keepsakes I have will be cherished forever, Thank you so much Heather! 🥰"

This really fills me up. <3

I love what I do. Supporting new parents through placenta encapsulation, nervous system regulation and emotional wellness. It’s the placenta encapsulation that throws people through a loop. LOL

"I'm so happy with the encapsulation. You went above and beyond, from having the courier there so quickly to retrieve the placenta, to getting it back to me within a day of being home from the hospital. I was so surprised to get so many other little goodies and words of encouragement in the (beautifully packaged!) box, too. This was really a full-service experience! Thank you for making this a smooth process from beginning to end."

I LOVE making everything easy and special from the start. It truly is not just an encapsulation but an experience.

First I love ALL the people who refer to me. It makes me feel so supported and validated in what I do. However, when the referral comes from an OB/GYN that just hits different. The reason is because they are usually the last to get on board with placenta encapsulation. They are not very educated on it and instead of researching it they go by hearsay. So yes, swing OB/GYN makes me stop for a second.

"As a first time mom, Heather was able to quickly answer my relentless questions and put my mind at ease. I am so excited to be on this journey with Placenta Power!"

HOW MANY PILLS WILL I GET? How many pills will I

HOW MANY PILLS WILL I GET?

How many pills will I get is a super common question I get but it doesn’t have a definitive answer. It all depends on how big the placenta is and how you chose to have your placenta prepped.

Larger placentas produce more pills. That’s pretty obvious. Something not everyone is aware of though is if you chose to have your placenta steamed first that will reduce your capsule count.

On average a raw start encapsulation will yield between 125-150 capsules.

On average a steam start encapsulation will yield between 75-100.

I had a different amount of capsules with each of my postpartums I encapsulated with. My biggest baby’s placenta yielded the most and the smallest yielded the least.

Of course I love placenta encapsulation! Is it for

Of course I love placenta encapsulation! Is it for everyone, no but should everyone do it? Yes!!!! Even if you don’t take the capsules you can do other things with them besides keeping them in the freezer. My favorite use for capsules is using them as plant fertilizer for indoor and outdoor plants!

My favorite saying is “it’s better to have them and not need them, than need them and not have them.”

Here is an email from a client that makes me smile:
"Hi Heather,

Thank you so much for providing the services that you do! Knowing my placenta was in good hands was such a relief. I was so excited to get it back and was thrilled with the items in the package..............

Encapsulating with you supported my family in welcoming our first child and our healing and postpartum journey in a way I am forever grateful for. Thank you for your efforts in supporting mothers in postpartum life emotionally, physically, and mentally. Your work facilitates such incredibly fulfilling outcomes in such an immense time of transition and learning. "

It's a bonus when they share a photo with me!!!

It’s not too late to encapsulate If you are 9 m

It’s not too late to encapsulate

If you are 9 months pregnant and think it may be too late to encapsulate chances are it’s not. I have had families call while in labor, while holding the new babe and even before they got a positive pregnancy test. If you are on the fence and have not set up services just make sure your placenta gets put on ice within 2 hours of being birthed. To set up services you can visit my website www.placentaencapsulationservices.com or email me at heather@placentaencapsulationservices.com

Another FAQ! Heather, what can I do with my leftov

Another FAQ! Heather, what can I do with my leftover capsules?

You can open them up and sprinkle them into your house plants.

You can save them for when you are 4 to 6 months postpartum. You tend to shed hair at that time and clients report that it helps with that.

You can keep them in the freezer and save them for PMS and/ or perimenopause.

You can send them to a company that makes resin jewelry out of the powder.

You do not want to take them while pregnant with a new pregnancy. You can use them for the next postpartum, but it’s best to use an encapsulation from that pregnancy and then use your old ones as a back up.

what have you done with your extra capsules?

Listen, I totally get placenta encapsulation is no

Listen, I totally get placenta encapsulation is not for everyone and I’m okay with that. What I’m not okay with is telling people they shouldn’t do something just because you think it’s gross. Thats called shaming someone and it’s not okay. So how about we all do what we feel is good for us and not judge others if it’s different than what we would do.

What have you heard from people when you told them you were going to or did encapsulate your placenta?
