Placenta Encapsulation (Traditional or Holistic) $200
In the traditional method, the placenta is first cleaned, and then steamed in lemon, ginger and
jalapeno before the dehydration process begins. This method can be easier to digest*; however,
some clients have reported that it takes slightly longer to take effect than the raw method. It
yields less capsules, but the capsules stay fresh much longer than the raw method.
With the holistic method, the placenta is cleaned, but the steaming part is completely skipped. The placenta is sliced raw and sent straight to the dehydrator. According to my clients, the effects
are often felt immediately. This method also yields more capsules. However, the pills expire much
sooner when using the raw method of encapsulation. I also offer 1/2 Tradtional Method and 1/2 Holistic Method for $25 extra. Read more about the difference between Tradtional and Raw Start/Holistic Methods here.

Placenta Tincture $40
Placenta tinctures take 6 weeks to reach their full potency. Raw placenta is infused into 80-100
proof grain alcohol. Drops are taken under the tongue (or mixed with juice) to assist with
postpartum healing. This is a great service to add as an extra boost because by this point, you
will likely have finished all, or most of, your capsules.
Placenta Print $10
Placenta prints are a lovely way to honor the placenta. A beautiful keepsake where the blood of
the placenta is used as the "ink" of the printed art. Final project looks like the tree of life!
Umbilical Cord Keepsake
I offer this as a complimentary service to my clients. You can treasure this keepsake for life! I
generally try to dehydrate it into a heart shape, but can attempt other shapes upon request.
Keep in mind that shorter umbilical cords can't always be made into a heart.
