For the first time, I did not suffer with postpartum anxiety. There was a noticeable difference this time, and I do attribute much of that to consuming my placenta.

Things that were different this time postpartum that I attribute to ingesting my placenta were: a better mood, more energy, less night sweats and less hair loss.

“I had severe depression during my pregnancy. I have been using the pills and have not had any baby blues or signs of depression. Quite the contrary, I've been pleasant, happy and enjoying my baby.”

“This was by far the best decision I’ve ever made! I wish I would have done this with my other children. I’ve felt amazing since I took the first pill after labor and still feel amazing to this day.”
Meet tiff, south jersey’s OG placenta encapsulator
Hi, I’m Tiff, and I’ve been processing placentas since 2012—nearly 2,000 and counting! As a birth educator, doula, and perinatal mental health specialist, I bring both expertise and heart to supporting new moms.
As a late-diagnosed AuDHD (autistic and ADHD) mom and a survivor of postpartum anxiety and rage, I fully understand the challenges new mothers face in our hyper-individualized world.
I firmly believe that postpartum anxiety is a social construct, and I’m on a mission to empower mothers to reclaim their fourth trimester with confidence, joy, and self-compassion.
When I’m not elbow deep in placenta or coaching new moms through their postpartum experience, I’m probably learning something or hanging in nature somewhere.
I live in South Jersey with my two neurodivergent kids, my very loud dog, two cats, and 13 backyard hens.
I hope I get the chance to play a part in your transition to motehrhood.

FAQs
What if my baby comes early?
Don’t worry! Babies come when they’re ready, and when they’re ready, I am ready. I only ask for your due date because I cap the number of placenta encapsulation clients I take on per month to ensure everyone’s safety - and my sanity!
is placenta encapsulation safe?
Placenta pills are safe. There is no evidence anywhere that anyone has gotten sick or worse from taking placenta pills. If anyone tells you otherwise, they are flat-out wrong and haven’t done their due diligence.
The risks of taking placenta pills are about the same as when you eat out in a restaurant — you’re trusting that the person preparing what you’re about to eat has taken all precautions to keep you healthy and safe.
As a professional placenta encapsulator, your safety is my top priority. I hold both a food handler’s card and a certificate with OSHA for bloodborne pathogens. I follow all recommendations carefully. Every time.
how do you encapsulate my placenta?
Here’s the rundown: I sanitize my workspace then rinse your placenta with cold water, to remove any clots or vernix. If there’s meconium, I remove the membranes and rinse with rice vinegar for added safety. Then, I steam the placenta gently for 5-10 minutes, depending on its size. Next, I slice it into thin strips (think beef jerky) and place it on unbleached parchment paper on stainless steel dehydrator trays. It dehydrates for about 12 hours, and when it cools, I grind it into a fine powder. That powder goes into the capsules, and voila! Placenta pills!
how long will my placenta pills last?
To preserve potency, keep your capsules away from direct heat, light, and moisture. After 6 weeks, store them in your freezer. While they won't "go bad," their potency may decrease over time. It's best to use all of your capsules before your baby's second birthday.
what if I’m out of your service area?
Many placenta encapsulators will have you ship your placenta to them, but to me, that’s just silly. Companies like Mommy Made Encapsulation are high profit, low touch, which to me is kinda gross.
I’m all about supporting local businesses, even if that means I don’t get the business. If you’re out of my service area, let me know where you’re giving birth and I’ll help you find a reliable and qualified placenta encapsulation service near you.
Am I allowed to keep my placenta?
Your placenta is yours as much as your baby is yours. Only you have agency over your placenta.
That being said, all hospitals in my service area have placenta release policies, so you won’t have any problem keeping yours.
With proper handling and following my instructions, you should have no trouble keeping your placenta. Very few circumstances render a placenta unfit for consumption, and these are typically due to improper storage or the placenta being sent to pathology.
I cannot offer refunds for placenta encapsulation, so it’s important that you ensure proper care of your placenta. However, if your placenta is deemed unfit for reasons beyond your control (i.e. a verified infection), a refund will be provided.
For all other cases, you’ll receive a credit that can be used toward a future encapsulation, gifted to a friend, or applied to my other postpartum support services. (You can explore them here.)
Does placenta encapsulation work?
The reported benefits of placenta encapsulation are based on anecdotal evidence from individual experiences. While many women—myself included—have reported positive effects from consuming our placentas, there’s no proven research YET.
You can check out my reviews on Google to see what my specific clients have to say about it.
how do i know i’m getting my own placenta back?
I’m extremely careful that there are no mix-ups! I only process one placenta at a time, and I have a placenta-specific fridge in my workspace. Every placenta that goes in the fridge is labeled. Everything is labeled along the way, and I do not work on another placenta until your package is safely on its way to you.
Why Take Placenta pills?
In non-pregnant humans, the hypothalamus is in charge of regulating your hormones. While pregnant, however, that’s your placenta’s job. When you give birth, your placenta detaches from the uterine wall in order for your body to expel it, at which point, you’re on your own for a few weeks until the hypothalamus gets the message to get back to work.
So basically, rather than quitting those hormones cold turkey, you’ll wean off of them until your body realizes you’re no longer pregnant.
Will placenta pills help increase my milk supply for breastfeeding?
The evidence on whether placenta pills increase milk supply is mixed and largely anecdotal. Some mothers, including many of my clients, report improved milk supply after taking placenta pills. This could be due to the potential presence of hormones like oxytocin and prolactin or the nutritional support they might provide during postpartum recovery.

Can taking placenta pills prevent postpartum depression?
The "baby blues" is a common postpartum symptom where new moms experience feelings of sadness, anxiety, and are highly emotional after giving birth. These symptoms can progress to postpartum depression (PPD) or postpartum anxiety (PPA) if not addressed. Research shows that PPD/PPA symptoms are linked to a deficiency in vital nutrients like iron, vitamin B6, and the stress-reducing hormone CRH, all of which are found in high concentrations in your placenta. Taking placenta pills can potentially help prevent these symptoms by providing new moms with the essential nutrients and hormones they need after childbirth. However, it's essential to note that placenta pills are not a substitute for medical treatment or a magic solution to postpartum issues. It's crucial to take a holistic approach to postpartum care, and if you experience anxiety or depression symptoms, reach out for professional help.
How many placenta pills will i get?
The number of capsules get depends on the size of your placenta. On average, a placenta produces around 140 capsules. The placentas I’ve worked with have yielded between 90 capsules and 310! But don’t worry! You’ll get enough capsules to support you during your postpartum until your hypothalamus gets back to work regulating your hormones, about 3 weeks out or so.
Can placenta pills help me avoid postpartum hair loss?
While there is no clinical evidence directly linking placenta pills to preventing postpartum hair loss, many mothers, including my clients and myself, report experiencing less shedding after taking them. This could be due to the potential nutritional benefits of placenta encapsulation, such as iron, hormones, or other compounds that might support overall postpartum recovery and reduce stress—a known contributor to hair loss.
Is placenta encapsulation safe if I test positive for GBS (group B Strep)?
Yes, even if you test positive for GBS, your placenta is safe for consumption. That goes for if you have COVID, if your baby poops in the womb (meconium), if you have a low grade fever, etc. There are very few instances when the placenta would be unsafe for consumption.
