Placenta Encapsulation
Placenta Encapsulation is growing more and more popular as women are discovering its amazing ability to heal, sustain, and strengthen your body during your post natal period.
Your placenta has given your baby all it needs to grow strong and healthy while in your womb, so why not use your placenta to support your postnatal well being too?
Placenta Encapsulation pills are used to help:
- Balance your hormones and prevent the ‘baby blues’,
- enhance milk supply,
- increase your energy,
- support you to recover more quickly from birth,
- bring the body back into balance,
- shorten postnatal bleeding,
- assist the uterus to return to size,
- increase postnatal iron levels.

The placenta is full of stress busting love hormones so it helps prevent post natal depression. Its also jammed pack with iron, vitamin E, stem cells and growth factors which are all essential for your body’s speedy recovery and so women find they have more energy, less post natal bleeding and improved milk supply.
And best of all it has been made by your body and so it is perfectly designed by nature, just for you, so it makes sense to safely welcome it back into your system during your post natal period via encapsulation or smoothie to help have a Happy Babymoon.
North East Placenta Encapsulation Specialist
I have been a North East Placenta Encapsulation Specialist for a number of years and have been working with women in their childbearing child for around 15 years, and over this time I have witnessed the amazing benefits of consuming placenta for post birth healing.
The first time I encountered the healing power of the placenta was with a woman in rural Spain, who had given birth to twins and was bleeding heavily. We were a long drive from the hospital and western medicine. We tried many things to stop her bleeding and as a last resort, I gave her some of her placenta to eat and within 10 minutes her bleeding had stemmed and the colour had returned to her cheeks. I know that this is only one case, but the speed and efficiency in which the placenta worked has me convinced of its power to heal.
I have been a member of IPEN since 2013, and as such, I work with a detailed food safety management system which aims to produce the highest quality product possible.
What will you need to do?
Firstly you will need to request and complete an intake form. You will also need a cool bag with at least 6 ice packs and a clean tupperware in which to place the placenta after the birth, ready for collection. I will collect your placenta from your place of birth, whether it be home or hospital. From there I will take the placenta home, where I have a designated area in my utility room which is for the sole purpose of placenta encapsulation which is kept hygienically clean at all times and has been inspected by the EHO. It is then dried, ground and put it into vegan cellulose capsules. You can choose from either simple dried pills or steamed (TCM) pills. There are benefits to both and more information on the benefits can be found at the Placenta Remedies Network
The capsules will then be returned to you either via special delivery or personally by myself. The whole process takes around 2 to 3 days from birth to return of the capsules.
Encapsulation can happen when the placenta has been delivered naturally or via an injection, its a personal choice, and not one which adversely effects the quality of the pills.
With each and every placenta I encapsulate or make into a smoothie, I know that the mother will benefit. It's a bit of a winner, really!!!
What my clients say

Sarah
I can honestly say that the encapsulation she did for me made a world of difference to my emotional well-being.
Amanda
The placenta encapsulation service Ruth provided for us was like magic! It took minimum effort from us but brought enormous wonderful benefits. The arrangements for collecting the placenta were easy and quick, then before we knew it a parcel arrived through the post containing my precious placenta in perfect capsules within a lovely glass jar. I was delighted to find the gift of the beautiful dried coiled umbilical cord in the parcel too.
The experience of taking the placenta capsules was incredible, I absolutely recommend all mothers to do this and highly recommend Ruth Willis’s service. She was a joy to communicate with and I could feel her loving support. This experience remains a beautiful part of the birth of my daughter.
Olivia
Throughout my pregnancy in 2014 Ruth was a fantastic source of support and information. I made a booking with her to encapsulate my placenta after my baby was born as I was worried about suffering from low-energy and mood after giving birth. Ruth’s service was professional and efficient: She collected my placenta from me within 24 hours, made me an amazing nourishing placenta smoothie at home (I couldn’t taste the placenta at all!) and had my pills back to me a couple of days. I genuinely had a good amount of energy and didn’t suffer from any dips in my mood despite the fact I had next to no sleep for weeks. My milk also came in quickly and my postpartum bleeding was much shorter then many women report – all of which is attributable to consuming my placenta. I have recommended Ruth’s services to other friends a number of times and wouldn’t hesitate to do so again.
Lydie
I met Ruth couple of years ago. she has done my placenta encapsulation after the birth on my son. I’m expecting my second baby in May and will have my placenta encapsulation done again. It helped me to get back to normal quicker and I was full of energy when I was taking tablets.
Julie
Ruth encapsulated my placenta and gave such a great, efficient service, really fast, fab communication and presented the capsules to me in a beautiful jar! Think they really helped me to have bags of energy in those first few weeks after birth!
