PLACENTA ENCAPSULATION

Birth in Color Midwifery has been able to serve families who are interested in supporting their postpartum recovery utilizing placenta encapsulation for the last 10 years. If one is choosing to consider using encapsulation to help during the recovery post-birth as the body begins the normal re-balancing process, it is also just as important to have a supported postpartum recovery as well. Birth in Color works with families to increase their knowledge base about this process and make sure that it is an appropriate fit. Placenta encapsulation can have tremendous benefits, but important to remember we are all unique and benefits can vary from one person to the next.
