As an experienced Birth Doula & Hypnobirth Educator, I have worked with many Placenta Encapsulation Specialists over the years, and Tree of Life continually stands out as the most professional, compassionate, and reliable company that I consistently recommend to families. From the first point of contact, communication is clear, prompt, and reassuring--something especially important during the postpartum period when emotions and logistics can feel overwhelming. Tree of Life handles each placenta with the utmost respect and care, following safe handling procedures and offering full transparency about their process. I deeply appreciate how thorough they are in sanitation, preparation, and labeling--this attention to detail provides peace of mind to both me and the families I serve. The pickup and delivery process is seamless, and the turnaround time is quick so that you can enjoy the benefits as soon as possible. The capsules themselves are beautifully packaged, along with thoughtful instructions tailored to each individual's healing needs. Parents frequently share that they feel supported, energized, and more emotionally balanced while taking their capsules, and many tell me the experience far exceeded their expectations. What I value most is that Lauren, Triple-Certified Specialist, approaches Placenta Encapsulation as both a scientific and a sacred practice. She holds space for the emotional significance of the placenta while ensuring the highest standards of safety. This combination of warmth and professionalism is rare, and it truly makes a difference! I will continue to refer my clients to Tree of Life with confidence, knowing they will be treated with kindness, respect, and genuine care during one of the most tender transitions of their lives. read more

My partner and I had a wonderful experience with Lauren at Tree of Life Placenta Encapsulation in Menifee. A friend recommended her and she was punctual, friendly, informative and efficient! read more

I cannot recommend Lauren highly enough for placenta encapsulation services! From start to finish, the entire process was handled with the utmost professionalism, care, and compassion. As a new mom navigating postpartum recovery, I was so grateful for her expertise and calming presence. I noticed a significant improvement in my energy levels, mood, and overall recovery within days of taking them. It made a world of difference during those early weeks with my newborn. What really set Lauren apart from others I spoke to was her personal touch--She took the time to explain everything thoroughly and answered all my questions with genuine warmth and knowledge. I felt completely safe and supported throughout the process. If you're considering placenta encapsulation, do not hesitate--Lauren is absolutely the person you want to trust with this incredibly special and personal experience. Thank you so much for helping me feel stronger, more balanced, and more connected. I will be referring all my friends and family to Tree of Life! read more

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Lauren @ Tree of Life Placenta encapsulation! Best decision I ever made postpartum. She is very passionate about what she does and has vast knowledge she's willing to share about encapsulation. She made pick up and processing a breeze in the first days of postpartum and what she brought me was so beautifully prepared and packaged! She even surprised me by throwing in a keepsake heart umbilical cord that couldn't be used for encapsulating. She was available for dosing questions through every up and every down- and the pills made a WORLD of difference during the hormonal roller-coaster. She even took the time to check on me regularly which I really appreciated as a first time momma. I've used her for two births now and would highly recommend her services to ANYONE and EVERYONE !! read more

Lauren is the BEST! She is so kind and knowledgeable and made my placenta encapsulation such a breeze. She goes above and beyond and I will definitely be reaching out to her for baby #2! Thanks Lauren! read more

Lauren was great! I gave birth prematurely and had my "prenatal" visit with my doula to discuss my options for my placenta while I went into pre-term labor. Lauren was recommended by another colleague of my doula because she was local and she made herself available even with the last minute inquiry. Lauren was accommodating by coming to the hospital to pick up the placenta after I gave birth and to drop off the capsules/tincture to meet me there while my daughter was in the NICU. She took the time to discuss how to care for and take the capsules and provided printouts as well. She also followed up periodically to answer any questions/ concerns I had. I appreciate Lauren's service as a first time mom with a little one in NICU. She is excellent! read more

Lauren was fantastic from when I first reached out to her for her services. She was clear and concise about the process and what I would need to do. She was easy to contact if I had questions and when it came time to deliver my baby. She even reached out after delivering my order to make sure I was doing well, and that the product was helping me in an optimal way! I will absolutely use her services again, and highly recommend her to any mother looking for placenta encapsulation. Hands down a fantastic experience! read more

I have known Lauren Taylor for 15 years and over those years I have sent many of my doula clients to Lauren for placenta services because she is a consummate professional and is so passionate about placenta encapsulation and the benefits it provides to new moms. I trust completely that when I send a family to Lauren they will be in great hands. read more

A-may-Zing!!! I decided to try placenta encapsulation with my second child who just turned 4 months. I tried the smoothie, capsules and tincture. The smoothies were the first food I had after my baby was born via c-section. It was Delish! I was excepting my recovery to be terrible (similar to my first)- I can honestly say my mood was positive, I felt calm, relaxed and even. I was strict taking 4 capsules a day. My milk supply came in, which it did not with my first and I had plenty of milk and a growing baby!!! Even with the stress of having family around, I truly felt the capsules were short of a miracle. I was even sad when I was finished with them, but had my tincture to take in its place. Lauren the owner was incredible!!!! I delivered fairly early and she was there to handle the pick up & delivery. I truly believe you have nothing to lose. As a second time parent who was expecting the worse (due to the challenges of my first child) I could not believe how great I felt and continue to feel. My husband even commented that it seemed that I was calmer than my normal self since taking these!!! Wish I could take them forever!! read more

I had my placenta encapsulated and I am very thankful for Lauren! I had not planned on a c section delivery. My baby was breech and I had no other choice. I had plenty of colostrum to feed my baby and I felt a boost of energy after my fist smoothie. Lauren showed up to mix my smoothie and had my pills ready before I left the hospital. I had my baby at the Kaiser in Riverside. I would recommend her to anybody that is looking to feel great after they deliver their bundle of joy. I never experienced baby blues either. Thank You Lauren read more

Lauren is amazing! She went above and beyond for my sister and I, and gave us both high quality products! I would (and have) recommend her to any mom to be. Thank you so much Lauren, I can't wait to work with you again! ^_^ read more

I am so happy I tried placenta encapsulation. I purchased the smoothies, capsules and tincture. I was skeptical at first to try the smoothies but they tasted AMAZING... I highly recommend them. Lauren, the owner, is great! She was very friendly and accommodating. I took her class at Unique Ultrasound in Temecula where she answered any questions or concerns that I had. She was able to give me the smoothies the very same day I delivered my baby and personally delivered my capsules to me before I was discharged from the hospital. I was surprised that my recovery was so fast and I did not experience any mood swings whatsoever. I credit placenta encapsulation for my positive postpartum experience. read more

A friend of mine educated me on a few of the benefits of placenta encapsulation, however, I wasn't sold. My boyfriend, friends and family were unsupportive and made jokes about the idea of me ingesting my own organ. I decided to attend a free class that Tree Of Life was holding to learn more about placenta encapsulation. I asked my boyfriend to attend the class with me simply for support. Little did I know, he would come out of the class with more passion about placenta encapsulation than myself. We were both mesmerized by Lauren's (owner) presentation. She spoke with so much knowledge, enthusiasm, and genuine desire to better postpartum recovery. As many of you mamas may know, when you're pregnant, it's hard to focus on...well anything! With that said, I was grateful to receive the Tree Of Life information packet so that I may refer back to what I learned in the class, and also so that I may have a convenient way to educate my friends and family on the benefits. I actually took pictures of each page of the info packet on my phone and sent them to my dad and brother who made the jokes about placenta encapsulation. I'm pleased to say that not only were their minds blown by the awesomeness of it, but their minds were changed and I had more support :-) I am type 1 diabetic and had some concerns about the health of my placenta and the safety of ingesting it. Lauren personally contacted me with info from research and reaching out to her encapsulator community which laid a lot of my worries to rest. My mind was made up! I had every intention of planning ahead and contacting Tree Of Life to secure my order of smoothies and capsules...but things changed in the blink of an eye and I delivered my baby 5 weeks early via an emergency c-section. I was certain that my chances of having my placenta encapsulated were gone. I was wrong. I contacted Lauren an hour after my c-section and she was at the hospital a few hours later. What Lauren provided for me was so much more meaningful than words can describe. Her showing up to the hospital to pick up my placenta was the ONLY thing that went my way as far as my birth plan was concerned. I couldn't believe she was in my hospital room blending smoothies right in front of me..it was like a little piece of my dream was actually coming true. The smoothies were made the same day I delivered my baby, and she returned with half raw capsules and half TCM capsules the next day (which I proudly showed off to the hospital staff). My postpartum recovery was terrifying and even life threatening due to an extreme case of preeclampsia. I had anxiety and fear about my body failing me and general anxiety about being a first time mommy. I can say with confidence that the smoothies and capsules alleviated a lot of that stress. I looked forward to having my smoothie each day I was jn the hospital because I felt like I was doing something great for my mind and body. A big thing I attribute to the smoothies and capsules was my early abundance of breastmilk. The nursing staff was shocked to see me pumping ounces of colostrum rather than drops. I could go on forever about how amazing my experience with Tree Of Life was and even more importantly how amazing it was to see the benefits I read about come to life within myself. I am thankful that I met Lauren and had the opportunity of a lifetime! read more

See all

I tried placenta encapsulation with my first child. I had heard about the benefits of ingesting your placenta but did not like the idea of cooking mine up like a steak, when I found out about encapsulation, I was sold. Even when I was having financial struggles, Lauren was very willing to work out a payment plan with me so I could receive the benefits. Lauren picked up my placenta and delivered my capsules back to me while I was still in the hospital. My milk supply came in promptly at 3 days pp and was abundant! I produced enough to feed my little one and also stock up for when I returned to work. My attitude was very positive as long as I remembered to take my capsules but if I forgot, I would come down with baby blues. I think if I did not have the capsules, I would have gotten pp depression, especially bc I have a history of it. Instead my postpartum experience was a very happy one. Once I ran out of the capsules I waited 3 weeks to use the tincture. I noticed a decrease in my milk supply and a slump in my mood within 3 days of stopping the capsules but since I've started using the tincture I'm noticing a little perk in my mood and milk all over again! I highly recommend at least encapsulating, I wish I had tried the smoothies and hope to next time. Lauren was especially great, kind yet professional and very quick to respond, pick up, and deliver. If I have another baby in the near future I will definitely be a returning customer. read more
