Placenta Services

​Our amazing bodies create an organ that can both nourish our babies in utero and our own bodies after birth. My passion for pregnancy, birth, and mother and infant health drew me to study the art and science of ingesting the placenta postpartum. Through my own experiences and countless stories from other women I am confident in the power of using our placentas for health and vitality! Check out my Placenta Basics page for details on benefits of using your placenta,

In my practice I travel to you for the placenta after birth. Once the placenta is encapsulated and otherwise processed (prints, tinctures, etc.), I return the capsules and other products to you wherever you are. I am also happy to encapsulate in your home. My services include:
  • Traditional Chinese Method - placenta is steamed with all organic ginger, jalapeno and lemon, dehydrated, and encapsulated.
  • Raw method - placenta is not steamed, just dehydrated and encapsulated.
  • Placenta Tinctures - a quarter-sized piece of raw placenta is used to make an alcohol (100 proof) tincture for mom to use throughout her life.
  • Placenta Prints - using watercolor paper, the placenta's details are transferred permanently before processing for capsules.
  • Twins and Multiples placenta products.
  • Cord Keepsake - the baby's cord is dried as a keepsake ornament.
  • Placenta Smoothies - a dime-sized placenta piece is blended thoroughly with fruit and veggies to create a nourishing smoothie after birth.
  • Other food products created upon request using the finished ground placenta powder.
My training was done with Big Belly Services and along with my science background and passion for women's health I am always striving to meet the needs of mothers and infants with my variety of skills. I adhere to strict safety practices and follow OSHA guidelines. After working in research labs for many years this type of work is both fun and exciting to me!

Most moms can use their placentas safely after birth, but there are specific conditions preventing safe consumption. If you have a question about the safety of ingesting your placenta please consult with your care provider and feel free to contact me as well - we can find answers!

I believe in making life as simple and supported as possible for moms after birth. Offering these services is a way for me to help new moms find nourishment and support for themselves and their babies after birth. I always feel so honored to be a part of this amazing experience, thank you for your interest.

"I decided to do placenta encapsulation because I'd read about and heard of the physical and mental benefits for new moms. I figured there was no harm in trying it! It was a very simple process- we informed our care team at the hospital we would be taking the placenta with us (we had to bring a cooler to the hospital for this purpose), then brought it home, and Megan picked it up right away and took care of the rest.  I started taking the capsules a few days after delivery and I noticed a definite energy increase for several hours after taking each dose. I also noticed a major improvement in my mood after each dose for several hours. In my experience, the placenta pills alleviated some of the fears/depression and fatigue that most women experience in those first few postpartum weeks. I was taking the capsules on the maximum dosing schedule so if my memory serves, I took them for approximately 3 weeks.   I also liked that you can use them or freeze them for a later time when you may need those benefits (I used all of mine). I plan on doing placenta encapsulation again with any future children because I felt it made a difference in my postpartum recovery." - Hillary A. West Seattle
