Our Commitment to Safety & Excellence
At Blissful Birthing, safety is not simply a standard – it is the foundation of our practice. By adhering to the industry’s most stringent safety protocols, established by OSHA and the Association of Placenta Preparation Arts (APPA), we ensure your placenta is being treated with the highest level of professional care.
We exclusively offer in-home placenta encapsulation so you can feel confident knowing your placenta is prepared safely in the comfort and cleanliness of your own home and remains exclusively yours.
Secure and Thoughtful Handling
Upon reserving your due date, you will receive our curated transport kit with detailed instructions for proper storage and handling following birth. By personally transporting your placenta from the hospital to your home, you maintain total control over the integrity of your placenta, ensuring the highest standard of care and eliminating the uncertainties often associated with third-party shipping.
Your kit includes: a premium insulated cooler bag to maintain a food-safe temperature during transport, Ziplock bags for safe and hygienic cooling, handling instructions to guide you through safe storage and transport of your placenta.

Our In-Home Process
In-home placenta encapsulation affords our clients with both discretion and peace of mind. Your placenta is prepared in the familiarity of your own space – never transported to or processed in a shared facility. Whenever possible, we utilize single-use materials. All non-disposable equipment undergoes a three-stage sterilization process: a high temperature cleanse, a 20 minute immersion in a sanitizing solution, and a final thermal rinse.
Your Placenta Encapsulation Specialist will wear full personal protective equipment (PPE) to ensure the highest standards of hygiene and safety during handling. This includes: hair covering, protective eyewear, face mask, isolation gown, nitrile gloves, and shoe coverings. Before and after preparation, all work surfaces are sanitized using hospital-grade disinfectants. This meticulous approach ensures a controlled, contamination-free environment at every stage.
We invite you to observe the encapsulation process, allowing you to feel fully connected to each step of your placenta’s transformation. Our experienced placenta encapsulation specialists are happy to explain the process in detail, answering any questions you may have. This personalized experience ensures you feel informed, supported, and confident throughout.
Our process is minimalist and pure. Over two consecutive days, your placenta is gently steamed, precisely dehydrated, and ground into a fine powder. We add no fillers or herbs – only your placenta is contained within our premium vegan capsules. Flavored capsules are available upon request.
*Placenta encapsulation has not been evaluated by the FDA and is not intended to diagnose, treat, or prevent any medical condition. Clients assume full responsibility for their own health and are encouraged to make informed decisions regarding the use of placenta capsules.
“The process of Blissful Birthing encapsulating my placenta was done in my home and was quick and easy. I would definitely recommend this service to anyone.”

“Her set up was impressive, impeccably clean and organized, we just needed to provide the space. She talked me through the entire process, explaining each step and answered all my questions. She even got the umbilical cord dehydrated in the shape of a heart – amazing and beautifully unexpected!”
