Placenta Encapsulation
A gentle way to honor and nourish your postpartum body, prepared in the privacy of your own home.
Encapsulating your placenta is a wonderful way to honor and nourish your postpartum body by giving back to you the hormones, iron, and protein that are depleted after giving birth.
Your placenta capsules can help with milk production and postpartum mood swings, as well as lessen postpartum bleeding. The process is done in the privacy of your own home over a 24 hour period, and requires two short visits from me of about an hour each.
I prepare your placenta using Traditional Chinese Medicine standards, which includes steaming with warming herbs and then dehydrating. The final step is to create your capsules, as well as a placenta tincture that can be used over your lifetime when extra grounding is needed.
You can also share your placenta tincture with your child during times of development when they too might need the grounding properties of the placenta that sustained them during their time in your womb. I especially love the practice of sharing with our daughters their own placenta tinctures at their first bleed. The offering of the hormones they swam in and grew in while in our wombs helps to center them in their own journey, and serves as a rite of passage that our girls need in today’s culture.
All necessary supplies are included in your package. If you are planning a hospital or birth center birth, I will provide you with a transport kit and instructions. We will decide on an appropriate time for me to come to your home to begin the process.

What families say
“With both of my births I chose to encapsulate my placenta with Dallas, and it was the best decision for my postpartum journey, more energy and balanced hormones. We loved the umbilical keepsake, too! She is so sweet, knowledgeable, and helpful.”

“Dallas operates a business with services that all moms, and partners, should sign up for! She was always helpful with information and advice on all things baby. She answered all my questions about using my placenta, she was great when she came into my home, and it was so nice of her to check on me again later and help with postpartum needs. I recommend her to friends and strangers. She is doing a wonderful job filling a need within our community.”

“Receiving pregnancy, birth, and postpartum support from Dallas was absolutely extraordinary. I felt truly seen and heard by her in every possible way. Her knowledge and expertise led me to have my ideal birth, a truly unforgettable experience. Her presence during delivery was calm and supportive, and my husband was very grateful for her guidance. We felt prepared and empowered as we welcomed our daughter, and that is a gift we will be forever grateful for. Dallas is a wealth of knowledge and a true advocate for women and babies.”
