Standards of Practice:
Our placentas are handled and encapsulated according to OSHA bloodborne pathogens universal precautions and Food Safety and Handling standards. Before and after the encapsulation process, our equipment and workstation is disinfected and sanitized using hospital grade sanitizing agents. We follow OSHA standards and we ensure that blood-borne pathogens are eliminated. Things such as sponges, cutting boards, and protective equipment are disposable and are only used one time. After the encapsulation process, our equipment is washed with antibacterial soap and then transferred into a sanitizing bath. We only ever process one placenta at a time, each placenta is labeled throughout the whole encapsulation process. This encapsulation method that we use is designed to eliminate any potential bacteria, including group B strep. The process involves seasoning the placenta with lemon juice, cayenne pepper, and ginger. The placenta is then steamed by subjecting the placenta to temperatures higher than 140 degrees F. Once Steamed the placenta is cut into pieces and dehydrated for 12-24 hours, we then grind the placenta into fine powder and place it into vegan unflavored gelatine capsules.
Beth Vega, Owner & CEO of
Peace of Mommy Encapsulation:
Following the birth of my first child, I experienced significant challenges with postpartum mood changes, including "baby blues" and postpartum depression. It was only later that I discovered the amazing benefits of Placenta Encapsulation, leading me to question why this option wasn't more widely discussed during my pregnancy. This sparked a deep interest in understanding the science behind Placenta Encapsulation. I subsequently underwent rigorous and comprehensive training in placenta preparation through The Placenta & Postpartum Association. To ensure the highest standards of safety and hygiene, I also obtained certifications in Blood-borne Pathogens and OSHA's Safe Food Handling. Having met all necessary requirements, I am now a Certified Placentologist. Over the past three years, we have proudly encapsulated over 500 placentas for our clients.
My Placenta Encapsulation Experience:
"During my second pregnancy, I clung to the idea of placenta encapsulation like a lifeline. After a tough first postpartum experience, it was the one thing that gave me hope for a different outcome. Three days after giving birth, I hesitantly took the first capsules. The next day, I was astonished – my milk supply practically overflowed! Something I never experienced with my first postpartum experience when I didn’t get to encapsulate my placenta.
But the real magic happened gradually. As I continued taking the capsules, a subtle shift occurred. My mood lifted, replaced by a sense of calm and optimism I hadn't felt before. I actually found myself enjoying the newborn snuggles, the tiny yawns, the overwhelming love.
Each time I took the capsules, I felt a surge of energy, a welcome boost that helped me navigate the sleepless nights and endless demands of a new baby. My postpartum bleeding stopped within a week, and my body seemed to bounce back with surprising speed.
But the most significant difference? This time, postpartum depression didn't take hold. It was a weight lifted. While I know that everyone's journey is different, I truly believe that my placenta capsules gave me the jumpstart I desperately needed. They helped me heal, both physically and emotionally, and allowed me to embrace the joy of motherhood in a way I hadn't been able to before. If you're considering it, please do it. It’s the best thing you can do for yourself after giving birth.”
