When is encapsulation not an option for you?

  • Your provider wants to send your placenta to lab testing: In some cases your placenta will get sent off to pathology for testing and the reasons may be suspected substance abuse, suspected maternal or neonatal infection, neonatal neurological concerns, and placenta abnormalities among others. Please note that you may ask them to take a piece of your placenta and not the whole placenta. It is illegal for your provider to deny you being able to take home your placenta. In this case either your support person can take it home to freeze or if I am requested to still pick up for possible encapsulation after you receive results, I will come pick it up and place in the freezer

  • Signs of a Chorioamnionitis infection during the labor process and birth: This is an inflammation of the fetal membranes of the placenta, associated with a bacterial infection. Ways to tell are by the mom having a fever of 100.4 or higher during labor or the baby has a fever at birth and unpleasant smell of discharge or fluid is also a good telling sign of a present infection.

  • Improper handled placenta: Placentas have to be placed on ice or refrigerated within 4 hours right after birth. If you take home your placenta yourself, it can be refrigerated up to 5 days but needs to be placed in the freezer if the encapsulation process hasn't started yet. You can leave it in the freezer for up to 6 months. Any time past 6 months may not be very beneficial for encapsulation. To thaw, it should be placed in the refrigerator for no more than 72 hours. If proper protocol wasn't followed then it is deemed unsafe for encapsulation. 

  • Exposure to heavy toxins: Even though the placenta filters a lot of things out, if the pregnant person is intaking alcohol, tobacco, or drugs or constantly exposed to it, then we assume the placenta is not safe to consume with risking it being toxic.

  • Having a Lotus Birth: This is when the umbilical cord falls off naturally, which can take between 5 to 15 days. This process makes it unsafe for consumption.

  • choriocarcinoma: This is cancer of the placenta 

 

Please note if you are unable to consume your placenta, you can always take it home to plant or your specialist can do some keepsakes for you. 

 For umbilical cord keepsakes, ensure the cord is long enough before cutting to give more design options.

  • When should I hire a doula?
    It’s never too early or too late! Many families hire a doula in the second trimester, but I support clients at all stages of pregnancy and generally up to 3 months postpartum support.
  • What's the difference between a midwife and a doula?
    A doula provides emotional, physical, and informational support before, during, and after birth—but does not perform clinical tasks like cervical checks, fetal monitoring, or medical decisions. A midwife is a medical care provider.
  • Do you offer payment plans or sliding scale pricing?
    Yes! I believe all families deserve support, so I offer flexible payment plans and work with budgets whenever possible.
  • Do you attend hospital/home/birth center births?
    Yes! I support families in all birth settings.
  • Do you support medicated, unmedicated, or cesarean births?
    Yes! My goal is to support your choices—however and wherever you give birth.
  • Will you come to my home for early labor support?
    Absolutely—many clients find this helps them stay comfortable longer before heading to their birth place.
  • What does on-call support mean?
    From 37 weeks until birth, I’m available to you 24/7 for questions, updates, and in-person or virtual support once active labor begins.
  • Do you offer overnight support?
    Yes! Overnight care allows parents to rest while I care for the baby, feed, change diapers, and support you when needed.
  • Is this just for the birthing parent?
    No—postpartum support benefits the entire family, including partners and siblings.
  • Do you help with babywearing or feeding questions?
    Yes! I support babywearing, bottle feeding, breastfeeding/chestfeeding, and everything in between.
  • What does a postpartum doula do?
    I provide emotional support, newborn care tips, light household help, lactation support, and guidance in the early weeks after birth.
  • What are the benefits of placenta encapsulation?
    Placenta encapsulation can help with milk supply, healing after birth, lowering the risk of postpartum mood disorders, and leveling iron levels after birth. Keepsakes are also available if you prefer not to ingest the placenta.
  • How do I get my placenta to you?
    You or your birth partner can contact me after the birth and arrange for pickup. I’ll provide clear instructions beforehand.
  • How is my placenta handled and processed?
    I follow OSHA-level safety standards, proper food-handling techniques, and use sanitized equipment in every preparation.
  • What if I have a cesarean or complications?
    Placenta encapsulation is still possible in most cases. We'll discuss your medical history and any hospital protocols in advance.
  • How long does the process take?
    Usually 24–72 hours from pickup to delivery of your capsules.
  • What is the process of encapsulation?
    The process is pretty cool overall! So firstly you secure a specialist, you will let your nurse and/or doctor know you will be keeping it for encapsulation. They'll have you sign a placenta release form that you're keeping it. Once its made it earth side, you'll let me know and I will come pick it up! Once I'm back home, I prep my area and get started. I inspect your placenta, cut out any pieces needed, wash if needed, steam if you'd like, cut/slice them into thin pieces, place in the dehyrator and let it go for between 18-24 hours. I grind it up once dried out and place into pill form! Guess what else is cool about this process? I share with you as well! I give picture updates so you can see what I'm doing!
  • What types of classes do you offer?
    I offer classes on childbirth (Labor Prep) education, prenatal yoga, and postnatal yoga.
  • Is postnatal yoga safe after a cesarean or difficult birth?
    Yes, with modifications. I offer gentle, healing movements and always encourage checking with your provider first.
  • What should I bring to class?
    A yoga mat, water, a small blanket or towel, and any props you have.
  • What are the benefits of prenatal yoga?
    It can ease pregnancy discomfort, prepare your body for birth, improve sleep, reduce stress, and build strength/flexibility.
  • Do I need yoga experience to join your yoga classes?
    Not at all! My classes are beginner-friendly and safe for all trimesters or postpartum stages.
  • Can I bring my baby to postnatal yoga?
    Yes! Babies are welcome in many of my classes—this is a bonding time, too.
  • What payment methods do you accept?
    I accept Credit Cards, Cash, PayPal, Google Pay, Apple Pay, Cashapp, Venmo, and Zelle
