Placenta Encapsulation - Perth
Placenta encapsulation is the process of converting a woman’s placenta into an ingestible ‘pill’ form.
Also known as ‘placenta capsules’ or ‘placenta pills’, this preparation is the most popular way to utilise the placenta for its postpartum benefits.
The process involves steaming and/or dehydrating the placenta, then grinding these placenta pieces into a fine powder that is then placed into empty capsules for the mother to take. These tasteless capsules look like any other vitamin supplement.
This form of placenta consumption is favored due to its convenience, palatability, and preservation.
The capsules may be used for up to 12 months after the birth.

You can book any time from 16-20 weeks onwards. To get started, simply send a quick message to check availability around your due date.
You can choose to have your placenta collected from your place of birth, or have someone bring it to Kristin.
You can choose between two placenta preparation methods: the TCM-Based Method or the Raw Prep Method.
You can also add optional keepsakes and products to your booking, including a placenta print, placenta tincture, and umbilical cord keepsake.
All bookings include a complimentary Placenta Kit, which is posted to you at around 36 weeks of pregnancy. It includes a Mamawise cooler bag, labelled placenta storage bags, and everything you need to know about caring for and storing your placenta after birth.
Your placenta is prepared in a dedicated workspace, where only one placenta is processed at a time under strict food safety, infection control, hygiene, and identification protocols.
The entire encapsulation process is completed within 24-48 hours of receiving your placenta.
Once your placenta encapsulation is complete, you can choose to have your placenta capsules (and any additional products) returned to you in person or sent via Australia Post Express Post.
When your placenta capsules are returned, you'll also receive the Placenta Encapsulation & Your Postpartum booklet. It includes details about your placenta's unique features, instructions for taking and storing your capsules, and helpful information to support your postpartum recovery.
“After pregnancy and birth, mothers require as much care as their newborn - to recover, replete, repair and recalibrate.”
