Placenta Encapsulation Service in Vermont

Tara Carpenter, PES.

Serving Vermont with an FDA-approved method for making placenta capsules known to help women adjust to new motherhood, since 2011.

I am a Placenta Encapsulation Specialist in Vermont trained to prepare placenta capsules with an FDA-approved traditional Chinese medicine method since 2011. I follow strict EPA/OSHA guidelines for handling bloodborne pathogens and comply with state/federal guidelines.

You can encapsulate a placenta whether you birth at the hospital, at home, by vagina, by cesarean, even as a surrogate mother.

Bless your golden, giving heart for all you do. ~ K.B., midwife

I work in small and big kitchens, carriage houses, Airbnb’s, outdoor spaces, even equipped basements. I bring the necessary supplies that I need to encapsulate your placenta including protective wear such as disposable gloves and apron; I only need access to hot water, a stove-top burner, electrical outlet, and counter space. I wear a fitted mask and keep my hands and work space sanitized during my time in your home.

I am not a guest nor expect to be treated as so; I come and go quietly and am respectful of this intimate time in your life.

Tara’s thorough care, kind personality, and gentle spirit make what she does so much more than a job. ~ A.K. Woodstock, VT.

I trained with Placenta Benefits (PBU) in 2010, a world standard in placenta encapsulation training that is the only organization with Standard Operating Procedures on file with the FDA in United States. I keep my ServSafe Food Manager Certificate and OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Certificate updated and handle each placenta with the utmost of care.

Upon departure, I leave a card for the new mother on suggested dosing of capsules. Most moms receive 80-200 capsules for postpartum use. I check-in twice during the following weeks to discuss any questions or concerns.

Zero anxiety or depression, less fatigue and pain, deep sleep, more energy and milk. Wish I’d done with my 1st baby! ~R.H. Stowe, VT.
