New Jersey Placenta Encapsulation

01/31/2026

Hey everyone!

I’m updating my list of trusted local practitioners who share my values of inclusivity and social justice.

This resource list will be included in my client toolkit. Many of my clients come from birthworker referrals, but those who don’t are often new to doulas and birth education—so it’s a great opportunity to be found by folks who aren't necessarily looking.

If you’re a birthworker or local practitioner who serves the perinatal community and are interested in being included, please complete this quick form:

Practitioner Intake Form for South Jersey Perinatal Resource List https://forms.gle/eJcwaTfSLN686Bm58

I’m looking to connect families with providers who prioritize welcoming and supportive care for all identities and experiences.
I service clients within a 90 minute radius of my home workspace in Cherry Hill.

Feel free to share or tag colleagues who might be interested!
Thanks so much!

Who feels me here?

What's your "thing"? What's your personal version of cleaning and organizing? The thing that quiets your brain and lets your whole body exhale?

What do you need in order to feel grounded, regulated, and like yourself again?

What do you wish you had more of right now?
Time?
Support?
Silence?
Autonomy?

What piece of your pre-mom life do you miss because it fed your soul?

If you could design your dream day, what would it look like from start to finish?

Are you giving yourself any of those things?
Are you giving yourself even one of those things?
If not, why not?
What's in the way?

PS: A note about placenta pills.
When my babies were little, I wish I had known this. You can't access your "thing" if you don't have a baseline.

You need your hormones in check. You need energy. You need to feel calm and balanced. You need a regulated nervous system. You need some sense of internal stability.

And one of the simplest, most natural ways to keep yourself from getting behind the eight ball is by taking your placenta pills.

Your placenta pills can help you avoid getting so deep into a hole that it feels really hard to dig out of it.

Placenta pills aren't a magical postpartum fix, but they do give you more of YOU back... You have the capacity to do the things that regulate you, ground you, and keep you sane.

If you're pregnant and curious, I'd love to walk you through it. Shoot me a DM. Or click the link in my bio to learn more.

And they're super uncooperative.

All placenta encapsulation packages come with a dried umbilical cord keepsake. And the keepsake package comes with a print of your baby's cord.

Just keep them away from your dogs.

Shred their playbook. Trust your gut. You already know what to do.

When I process placentas, I can always tell if the care provider delayed clamping or cut the cord immediately. Translation: Was the provider patient? Do they follow research-backed practices? Did they actually respect my client’s wishes?

More than a few times, a mom has told me she asked for delayed cord clamping, and then here I am holding a cord and a placenta full of blood. And every single time, I cringe as I wash it down my drain. Because all that blood belonged to her baby.

You might be surprised to learn that about a third of your baby’s blood is still in the placenta at birth. For perspective, that’s about 3.5 ounces for a 7-pound baby. Imagine donating a third of your blood all at once… you’d feel dizzy, wiped out, shaky, and weak.

Add an epidural into the mix, and that exhaustion can be even more pronounced. Epidurals relax the uterus, which slows the final placental transfusion. Babies whose mothers had an epidural are more likely to have lower muscle tone and weaker reflexes, making it harder to latch or stay awake during those crucial first feedings. That final transfusion is so important for giving your baby iron, oxygen, and energy right before they separate from you.

I wish we’d make a bigger deal out of this part of birth. When the cord is cut, so many folks focus on who is cutting it (usually as a way to involve the dad) rather than honoring that incredible moment of separation. Ten months you and your baby were one. This is it. The moment of separation. It deserves to be recognized.

The point is that delayed cord clamping isn’t just a trendy request. Waiting for your baby to get their blood back is an important, simple step that can give your baby a stronger, healthier start. And if you’re getting your placenta encapsulated, those nutrients and hormones will make your pills even more potent.

That blood matters. Every drop of it.

And, even cooler, if you’re getting your placenta encapsulated, it will make your pills that much more potent, since all those hormones and nutrients are still intact and ready to support you in the days after birth.
