Placenta Medicine & Art

I offer a base rate for placenta encapsulation of $250, with additional charges for placenta tinctures or art.

- Your placenta will be thoughtfully prepared, using the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) method, into standard sized pill capsules.
- As part of this base service, I create simple placenta art by “stamping” or imprinting your placenta onto heavy art paper for you to display or tuck into a baby keepsake box.
- Additionally, the placenta umbilical cord will be honored by dehydrating it into a special shape (such as a heart).
- Add on a placenta tincture to your base package - $45
- I follow Jane Hardwicke Collings’ method, which you can read about here.
- This will be a constitutional remedy for the baby throughout their life.
