placenta processing services

why do people consume their placentas?

did you know that almost every mammal that walks the earth eats their placenta? some studies show there are practical reasons for that, like ensuring predators can’t follow their scent, and others site the need counteract nutritional losses due to pregnancy and delivery.

while there is still not enough data on human Placentophagia to make any definitive claims on it’s benefits, there is some evidence to show it has both endocrine and analgesic benefits. that evidence is supported by the anecdotal support i (and other birth professionals) hear from my clients regularly.

my clients who have chosen to consume their placentas, either by encapsulation or as a smoothie have reported:

  • higher energy levels

  • lower instances of postpartum mood disorders compared to previous postpartum times

  • an increased breast milk supply

  • higher iron levels

  • a quicker recovery from postpartum bleeding

  • and less pain after delivery

there is a $75 non-refundable retainer included in the listed fees that is due at contract signing to hold your spot on my calendar. full payment is required by 36 weeks. A $25 travel fee may apply to those outside of the immediate service area. 

placenta processing services

  • The most popular way to consume your placenta is via encapsulation. Unless otherwise specified I process your placenta raw.

    Includes the pickup of your placenta from where you chose to birth and delivery of capsules to your home. i also include an umbilical cord keepsake with ever encapsulation unless you request it be powdered alongside the rest of your placenta

  • a placenta smoothie has the purest and most potent form of placenta medicine available. consuming your placenta this way gives you an immediate burst of energy with fewer fluctuations in mood.

    you can either add one weeks worth of prepped placenta smoothies to your placenta encapsulation service ($75) or choose smoothie prep instead of encapsulation ($125). in which case i will prep your entire placenta for smoothies.

    ingredients of your choice will be bagged and prepped for you to toss into your blender. Each bag will contain one placenta smoothie worth of ingredients.

  • A 4oz tincture allows you to have the benefits of consuming your placenta for a much longer period of time. Your tincture will need to ferment for 6 weeks before use, which is just about how long your pills will last. Once it's fermented you can experience the benefits of your placenta for years to come.

  • A 2oz salve is a homemade healing balm with added butters and oils that can help soothe the skin. from so many irritations, abrasions, and scars. can be used on cracked nipples, sunburn, diaper rash, c-section scars, etc. 

  • an artistic blood print of your placenta that can be saved as a beautiful art piece either on a sheet of watercolor paper or a canvas.

  • This is the side dish sampler of bundles. It includes the raw placenta smoothie preparation, a 4oz tincture, and a 2oz salve.

what folks are saying

tamara processed my placenta for capsules and a tincture. i chose her due to her extensive knowledge and experience. she explained the process and benefits in great detail, which i appreciated tremendously! this time around, my postpartum experience and milk supply have been so different, and i truly do credit much of it to choosing to encapsulate this time. i highly recommend tamara with the kindred feminine!

drinking my placenta smoothies was one of my favorite parts of the birth recovery. i think they helped a lot in restoring iron levels and gave me energy. tamara’s customer service was amazing! the day after i gave birth, she came over to our house first thing in the morning to pick up the placenta to prepare into small cubes so that it would be easier to blend. she checked in with me several times to see how i was doing and made me feel cared for. i believe consuming the placenta is one of the most nourishing things you can do for your body post-partum and i would recommend tamara’s services to anyone who is looking for a beautiful, high quality, and professional experience.

i would also highly recommend the placenta encapsulation service that tamara provides. after my first birth, an emergency c-section, i had severe postpartum depression and wanted to do anything i could to avoid that this time. i am normally not a super crunchy mom, but i have had no depression this time around. i have also noticed that the days i forget to take the capsules are my harder days.
