Tara Carpenter
I am a Certified Placenta Encapsulation Specialist (CPES) since 2011 and prepare placenta capsules for new mothers using an FDA-approved Traditional Chinese Medicine method. I follow strict OSHA/EPA standards to safely handle bloodborne pathogens. To comply with state and federal guidelines I encapsulate in client’s kitchen and do not offer a pick-up/drop off service. I encapsulate for mothers who give birth at the hospital, at home, or have a cesarean. I bring all necessary equipment and only need access to hot water, stove, electricity, and counter space. Most mothers receive 80-200 capsules. Placenta capsules are shown to contain Hormones (i.e., oxytocin, prolactin), Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, Immunoglobulin G, and Placental Opioid-Enhancing Factor to balance hormones, stimulate breastmilk, decrease “baby blues”, relieve pain, tone uterus, strengthen immunity, shorten postpartum bleeding, and regulate thyroid. I am delighted to offer this service to nourish new mothers from the inside out!
