Traditional Chinese Medicine Inspired
Inspired by the Traditional Chinese Medicine method of preparation involves cleaning, thinly slicing, gently heating the placenta and then dehydrating the placenta before it is put into capsules. This option is thought to allow the placenta’s healing properties and restore your uterus quickly.
Investment- $225
$250 for Vancouver, Additional $50 for twins to this includes pick up from your place of birth (hospital or home) & delivery back to you within 72 hours
Raw Method
The raw method of preparation skips the heating process. The placenta is still sliced, dehydrated and ground into a powder for the capsules. Raw food activists believe that steaming the placenta destroys some of the essential nutrients. This option is thought to provide a burst of energy upfront and stabilizes hormones.

Colour Placenta Prints
Investment- $35 colour print
Prints– I make your prints before I wash and prepare your placenta. They are printed with the natural placenta blood or home-made natural paints that are non-toxic. These beautiful prints are unique and display the size and shape of the placenta. The placenta is often referred to as “the tree of Life” and this is evident when you see the beautiful prints. If you are only wanting a print I will use acrylic color for a vibrant colour.
Additional Placenta Services:
Placenta Smoothie $35:
Having a fruit smoothie with a bit of raw placenta added gives the mom a great energy boost, satisfies post-birth thirst and hunger while providing the immediate benefits of the placenta. The smoothie tastes no different than a regular, placenta-free smoothie. You have your choice of fruit almond milk or yogurt. A great starter while you are waiting for your capsules to arrive. This is made by me conveniently in your hospital bed (hospital birth) or at home (home birth)
Mother’s Broth $15: *only available with TCM Encapsulation
The broth is a natural by-product of the steaming process used in the Traditional Chinese Medicine process of preparing the placenta. While it is mostly water, it contains essence of the placenta, including hormones and iron. It also contains the TCM “warming herbs” Myrrh and Ginger. Just as with steamed vegetables, many valuable nutrients can be lost in the steaming water. This is why many people keep the nutrient-rich vegetable water to use as a soup stock or to drink. Mother’s Broth offers you the same opportunity to keep this nutrient-rich water. Mother’s Broth is a valuable liquid that has been proven to be useful by many new mothers. You can drink the broth or freeze it in an ice-cube tray for future use.
Placenta Tinctures $40 4 oz. dropper:
Putting part of your placenta in tincture form is another way to stretch out its longevity. A small portion of placenta is added to 100 proof alcohol and set to ferment for 6 weeks. Some of the benefits include hormone stabilization in your postpartum cycles, less bleeding during those cycles, energy and for menopause years down the road. The female child can also benefit from placental tincture once she begins her menstruation cycles.
