All About Placenta Encapsulation

Placenta Encapsulation: A Natural Way to Support Your Postpartum Recovery

At Trinity Doula Services, we know the postpartum period can be one of the most beautiful—and challenging—times in a family’s journey. Your body is recovering from pregnancy and birth, hormones are shifting, and sleep can feel like a luxury. Many new parents are looking for natural ways to support their recovery, and placenta encapsulation has become one of our most requested services.

Whether you’ve heard about it from a friend, seen it on social media, or are just curious, here’s everything you need to know about placenta encapsulation and why so many families in the St. Louis area trust TDS with this special service.

🌿 What Is Placenta Encapsulation?

Placenta encapsulation is the process of preparing your placenta after birth—typically by steaming, dehydrating, and grinding it into a fine powder—then placing it into capsules for you to take postpartum. It’s a gentle, natural way to return nutrients and hormones to your body that were lost during pregnancy and birth.

Every placenta is processed using sterile, professional, and safety-focused procedures by trained encapsulation specialists at Trinity Doula Services.

💊 Why Do Parents Choose Placenta Encapsulation?

Many of our clients choose encapsulation for the potential benefits, which may include:

• Increased postpartum energy and mood stability

• Support for milk production and hormonal balance

• Reduced postpartum bleeding

• Faster recovery and emotional grounding after birth

• A meaningful, natural way to honor your placenta

While research is ongoing, many families who encapsulate report a noticeably smoother transition during the “fourth trimester.”

🌸 A Note from Sarah

“As a doula and nurse, I’ve witnessed firsthand how placenta encapsulation can support a smoother, calmer postpartum transition. Every placenta tells a story — it represents the incredible work your body has done to bring life into the world. I’m honored to help families continue that story through this unique and restorative process.”— Sarah Fogle, LPN, Owner of Trinity Doula Services
