Wow. As a first-time mom, this was both my first birth experience and my first experience with placenta encapsulation. I was cautiously optimistic going into it - I figured I had nothing to lose and wanted to give myself the best opportunity to support my postpartum recovery, balance my hormones, and replenish my body with the nutrients from my placenta. I can honestly say the capsules made a noticeable difference for me. They helped take the edge off the initial baby blues and have been a valuable part of supporting my emotional well-being during postpartum, allowing me to be more present and enjoy this special time with my new baby. What truly set this experience apart, though, was Tamara's level of care and support. Before birth, she provided thorough education on the various scenarios that could arise during labor and delivery, which helped me feel informed, prepared, and empowered going into my birth experience. After delivery, she coordinated pickup plans with both my husband and me, maintained excellent communication throughout the process, and even picked up the placenta directly from the hospital. From start to finish, Tamara made me feel supported, confident, and cared for during one of the biggest transitions of my life. If you're in the Sacramento area and considering placenta encapsulation, I highly recommend her services. read more

When we initially contacted Tamara. She was very expedient in getting back to us and explaining the entire process. I couldn't be more pleased on how easy it all was. As soon as our baby was born, I reached out to her and she got back to me within twenty minutes even though it was close to midnight when I messaged. She met me early the next morning at the hospital to pick up the placenta. And we will have it returned to us in less than a week. Very professional, cheaper than I ever imagined, and all around great experience. My wife and I plan on having more children, so I definitely will be keeping her contact information, and you should, too! read more

Tamara could not make this process any easier! From the detailed instructions and placenta pick up, to receiving the encapsulated pills in the mail a few days later, it was seamless. When thinking of this process it was a little intimidating - how to get the placenta from the hospital, how to package it and get it to someone to encapsulate, etc. But I'm so glad we decided to try it because Tamara walked us through everything and stayed in communication with us throughout the process. And I consider the price very reasonable! I'd gladly refer any friends to Placenta Mom! read more

Tamara is awesome! I texted her after I delivered and she was there to pick up my placenta only an hour or two later! I received my pills, tincture and umbilical cord heart :) I highly recommend to anyone looking to encapsulate their placenta! read more

See all

This was my second time using Tamara, she's amazing and the work she's doing is something special. So easy to work with, first 2 babies I didn't encapsulate my placenta and had problems breastfeeding these last 2 pregnancies I've used Tamara and so glad I did breastfeeding is a breeze and recovery was so fast and easy! Thanks again! read more

Tamara could not have been more professional, friendly and helpful. I used her services for the encapsulation of my first son's placenta and just had the pleasure of using her services again for my second. Highly recommend her!! read more

I have not used Tamara services, but I wished I had. I had an emergency c-section and was not able to meet with her for the delivery. Tamara was very professional and understanding thru the whole process, always responded on time and very attentive to any questions I had. I would for sure used her services if I was able to drive or be left alone, cause I kind of lost my vision after the morphine, everything was blurry for almost a week and was hard to communicate or drive or be left alone. Tamara was very helpful answering questions and scheduling the pick up. I am more than happy to recomendo her services even though I couldn't go thru with it. read more

Sooooo excited and I can't wait to use her. Anyday now! Can't believe she picks up from the hospital and she's every flexible with everything.,, i feel so at ease which is not the norm for me read more

I have had postpartum difficulties, especially anxiety, following my past 2 pregnancies. These issues lead to a lack of sleep, disturbing thoughts, and more. I feel extremely fortunate to have had placental encapsulation done with my most recent pregnancy. My postpartum history was difficult enough but this is 2020 afterall. There was a whole new layer of challenges. The state was shut down the day my son was born. I can honestly say, without a doubt, that the change to my sense of well being after this pregnancy was clear. I have recommended this service to every pregnant woman I know. I not only recommend this service for how it helped me but I recommend this provider specifically due to her professionalism, efficiency, and quality work. read more

I found Tamara on Yelp as I was new to the area and knew that I wanted to encapsulate my placenta again but didn't have any other recommendations to go off of. I'm so glad I found her! She was thorough in all of her communications, and the pills and tincture came back fast after delivery. She was professional, kind, and punctual on pickup post-delivery. Her prices were also reasonable, which I appreciated. If you're on the fence about encapsulating, I would encourage you to do it! And if you're on the fence about whether or not to use Placenta Mom, don't even hesitate! She's excellent!! read more

PlacentaMom - My placenta encapsulates, tincture and a little memory for keepsake. - Placenta Encapsulations Near Me

I used PlacentaMom January 2019 after my daughter was born. She was easy to communicate with and great customer service. She picked up my placenta from the hospital the day after my daughter was born and I had the capsules in hand within a week. Today my daughter is 3 months old and I finished my supply last week with only missing a day here and there (took 2 per day), so they lasted awhile. Highly recommend PlacentaMom!! read more

We had a great experience working with Tamara getting the placenta encapsulated! Tamara is professional and fast, she made the whole process so easy. After I delivered she came and picked up the placenta and within a few days she sent it back with the pills, tincture and cord in a heart shape for a keepsake! The encapsulated pills have made an impact on regulating my hormones postpartum. I was really nervous about experiencing postpartum depression/anxiety or the baby blues. But I haven't experienced any of that. My iron levels have maintained since giving birth (usually I'm anemic). I would highly recommend encapsulation and would definitely recommend working with Tamara! read more

Working with Tamara from PlacentaMom has been very smooth and easy. She's very easy to communicate with, is responsive to questions and she made the post delivery pick up process seamless. I feel that the products have truly helped me in my transition postpartum and aided in my recovery. I would highly recommend Tamara if you're on the hunt for a reliable, professional and approachable person to help with your placenta encapsulation needs. Thanks again, Tamara! read more

Tamara was so easy and pleasant to work with! I wish I would have found her with my first. I filled out her questionnaire and was booked with in minutes. I had last minute decided I was going to go through with encapsulation. I'll be honest I have always wanted to do this, but judgement from others definitely played a part and I was hesitant. I contacted her 2 weeks before my due date and she was so accommodating. She even delivered!!! I was shocked!!! The customer service was touching. Especially as a new mom things can be so hectic, I was touched she drove to my house and dropped off my package to get it to me ASAP! It has been a couple weeks and I can definitely say my energy is up which is so nice & appreciated when looking after a newborn and toddler. 10/10 would recommend. If you are hesitant just do it. You won't regret it I promise! read more

Tamara made the process seamless for placenta encapsulation after the birth of our twins. I have a history of depression and wanted the most support possible post partum. The pills, along with the recommended timeline for taking them were so helpful! I'm so grateful for how easy she made it for my wife and I, and especially how quickly we received the capsules after she picked up the placentas. I wasn't sure in the beginning if encapsulating would actually help, and can say with certainty that it did. Thank you Tamara! read more

Super clutch, super awesome experience! Tamara was one of the best parts about my wife's labor & delivery of our first child. Because my wife went into labor early, we hadn't had a chance to fully plan out the placenta encapsulation part of our birth plan; Tamara came to the rescue in a BIG way for us! Despite us first contacting her less than 24 hours before our birth, she was on top of things from the jump--amazingly timely texts, emailed exactly when she said she would and the entire process of getting everything confirmed was literally the easiest and smoothest part of the entire process. If and when we have another child, Tamara's one of our first calls--and this time it will be in plenty of time for the big day! Thank you so much, Placenta Mom! read more

Repeat customer of PlacentaMom here! 2018/2020/2022! There is a reason for being a retuning customer. Tamara's professionalism exceeds all standards. Quick to respond, great communication and so very helpful! Capsules and tincture help through the postpartum journey and the little keepsake is such a beautiful bonus. I highly recommended to anyone. read more

Just would like to say thank you Tamara for your service! This was my second time working with her and having my placenta encapsulated (2017 & 2020) and both times were a success! I had a smooth postpartum recovery. I recommend this to all the mommy to be's... I love how Tamara turns the umbilical cord into a keepsake heart, such a beautiful memory I get to have forever Thank you Tamara for coming out in the late evening to pick up my placenta. This is the best place to have it done read more

This was my second time getting my placenta encapsulated and my first time using placenta mom! She was wonderful! She was great about communication and I didn't feel worried about anything the entire process. Since I only have 2 kids I don't know if it's just me or if it's the pills but I avoided PPD and this time around the postpartum anxiety wasn't as bad and I think it was because of the pills. I have lately been having a lot of anxiety so I have just started the Tincture. Also, I got my pills back in the mail SO QUICK!!! She texted me when they were done and that she'd be sending them out and I got them I want to say just a couple of days after my son was born. read more

I am thoroughly pleased with both the service AND product I received from Tamara with Placenta Mom! For $200: Tamara came to my home to pick up my placenta at a time that worked with my schedule, communicated with me consistently on the timeline of my order, informed me once the order was mailed to me (the NEXT DAY,) included an umbilical cord "keepsake" in a cute little bag, and the capsules and tincture with a detailed information card on how and when to use! Tamara made this easy for me during a time in my life that is now completely devoted to someone else-- 24 hours a day! Thank you, Tamara, for the excellent service and product! To new moms looking into this: I highly recommend you go through Placenta Mom! read more

I'm SO happy I did this! It would've been an easy thing to skip in the chaos of giving birth and I'm thrilled we made a point to do it. Tamara was a joy to work with - incredibly professional and detail-oriented, and also seamless for logistics. The price was so reasonable for all the work she does. The pills absolutely made a difference. How do I know? A few weeks in I tried stepping down my dose and felt a difference immediately. I felt so much better, stronger and more balanced when I took them. It's wonderful to have the tincture now too. I had an unexpected early birth via surgery - a little traumatic, and some additional stresses after. The placenta pills helped me - I was so much more upbeat and positive through it all. Many thanks to Tamara - she is a healer and provides a wonderful service for post-partum women! To any pregnant moms reading this and deciding whether to go for it - DO IT!!! You'll be so happy you did :) read more

Tamara was such a pleasure to work with and I'm so glad I decided to encapsulate my placenta(s) from my twins! It's totally worth the price and the little extras that she throws in are definitely an appreciated bonus. She's informative and responds quickly. I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone pregnant. There's so many benefits for MOM and I'm thankful I didn't have to go through the baby blues, instead I had a positive mind and more energy! read more

PlacentaMom - Placenta Encapsulations Near Me

Tamara was so great to work with! I'd done placental encapsulation in my last city, and I was a bit apprehensive about finding a new practitioner for this oh so important service. Her communication was stellar, and it was clear to me that she was super organized and polished - exactly the skills you want to see in someone you are handing your placenta over to. I would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone! read more

Tamara was great to work with. She communicated very well. This was my 3rd pregnancy, babies 3&4, I was nervous because I am 50% more likely to get everything ... diabetes, high blood pressure and depression. I was afraid of depression with the hormones of 3 females in my body. My first two were boys. So far so good. I'm 7 weeks postpartum, feeling good, happy, and nursing is going well, I nursed both boys for 18mo each, never any formula, but we are supplementing the girls with formula. I'm very happy I chose to encapsulate my placenta, I'm not sure that it made a difference but it absolutely eased my mind which in itself makes it worth it to me. I only had one placenta but price would've been the same for two if twins were fraternal. read more

So happy my friend recommended me to Placenta Mama, Tamara! She was quick to respond and give me all the information I needed and was happy to answer any questions I had. I was out of her initial range for picking up my placenta at the hospital so she was accommodating and met me near my home at my convenience. Once she received my placenta it was a quick turn around time until I received my package via mail. Highly recommend Tamara for any placenta needs :) read more

This was my second baby and I wish I had done the placenta encapsulation with my first. The difference in my mood was night and day. With my first I had the postpartum depression going on, but this time, I felt so much better. It really felt like I didn't just loose those extra pregnancy hormones all at once, but gradually and it helped me feel calmer. Tamara is great for this job. She met us at the hospital to pick up the placenta and sent it to me within a week. She even included a cute heart made from my baby's cord, such a sweet detail. If I decide to have another baby I will definitely have her encapsulate my placenta again. Thanks so much. read more

Tamara was wonderful! Communicated everything so clearly, and was very diligent with explaining every last detail! She was extremely fast at picking up the placenta, and even getting the capsules back to me. I was so happy with her both times she helped with my birth in 2015 and 2019. read more

Tamara was wonderful! Having her pick up the placenta went smoothly and the capsules and tinture arrived before we got home from the hospital. I feel the capsules have helped keep my mood more stable during postpartum. read more

Tamara was amazing. I had been looking into placenta capsulation during my pregnancy and decided to take a go at it. I reached out to her pretty late into my pregnancy and she was super easy to work with and was very helpful. My pregnancy, as most, was pretty stressful so I was worried there would be so much to do but she made everything so easy and straightforward. I happened to go into labor a week early and emailed her at the hospital. She sent super simple instructions and met my fiance at the hospital. I was so satisfied with her services. She got my capsules done super fast, they were packaged very professionally and she even included a tincture and my son's cord dried in the shape of a heart. I absolutely recommend her! read more

I contacted her the day before I went in the hospital and I was so thankful she replied right away and was able to come pick up my placenta from the hospital. I was very emotional the first few days after labor and when I started taking the capsules, I stopped crying... I highly recommend this service. Worth way more than she charges. :) read more

Tamara was wonderful to work with during such a special time in our lives. Her website answered any questions I had, and once I decided to use her services, she sent a detailed email letting me know what to expect in my specific hospital. Her communication is easy, clear, and prompt. She makes the process completely hassle free, which is priceless when you just delivered a baby! Thank you, Tamara! read more

I've used Tamara's services twice. Once for my best friend as a baby shower gift and once for myself. Both times Tamara has been responsive and very professional yet kind. I love having my placenta pills and tincture! read more

This is the first experience I've ever had with placenta encapsulation, and I am beyond pleased with Tamara and the amazing service she provided! This was my third pregnancy, and I dealt with pretty severe postpartum anxiety after my first two deliveries. Because I had to return to work much sooner than I did with my first two, I decided to try placenta encapsulation as I've heard from multiple women that it can assist with the hormone drop mamas face after childbirth. Well, Tamara was absolutely phenomenal to work with. Her website gives really detailed information regarding the process and she actually came to the hospital the day after my son was born to pick everything up! She was super responsive and made herself available to answer any questions I might have had. It was all unbelievably easy and so quick!! Also, I feel the best I've ever felt after having a baby and am sooo happy I decided to give this a try! If you're considering encapsulation, I highly recommend placenta mom. read more

Amazing experience. It was an easy exchange to get my placenta to Tamara post birth. She responded quickly to messages and picked it up by the afternoon after I got home from giving birth and I had my capsules within a couple days! Will definitely use her again for any future encapsulation post birth. read more

Tamara encapsulated my placentas after both of my births and was a joy both times. She makes the process incredibly easy and is so prompt and reassuring about everything. She was wonderful from start to finish, even driving the items to my home -both times. She made adorable little hearts out of the umbilical cords that I will cherish forever. I had no post partum depression and my milk came in quick... Thank you! read more

I've use this service twice now and could not be happier. Tamara is fantastic. She's professional and helpful. I thought things were going to be more complicated doing the placenta hand off during COVID, but it was just as easy as the first time. Highly recommended. read more

I loved this new experience. Tamera makes the whole experience super easy and fast. The day I got home from the hospital my pills came in the mail. They helped out a lot and I also got some extra goodies she cooked up from my placenta. I would defiantly use her again. She's very caring and helpful with any questions I had. read more
