Placenta Bliss is Julie McBurney, Samantha Dunn, and Andrea Denali. 

We are independent encapsulation specialists working together to provide a complete service for our clients.

We have been serving the lovely families of the Triangle Area community for over 12 years, 750 placentas and counting!

​​We are trained and certified through IPPA, International Placenta & Postpartum Association.  As IPPA Specialists, we are considered Personal Chefs. We are trained in food protection and food-safe sanitizing, and have completed the NC Food Safety and Handling Course. We have also completed a Biologix Bloodborne Pathogen Course and adhere to strict, universal handling and sanitizing procedures to prevent transmission of blood-borne pathogens and other common infections while providing placenta encapsulation services. This fulfills the federal workplace safety requirements of OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogen Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030. We keep these updated as a part of our certification and to ensure safe encapsulations. We dehydrate to the temperatures of Jerky put forth by FDA for raw and cooked (steamed) meat.  Benefits of placenta encapsulation are supported by ongoing research, but have not currently been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

We would love to be a part of your postpartum journey. Your investment in our encapsulation service includes a prenatal meet & greet, placenta pick up, optional placenta print and/or cord keepsake, encapsulation, information on your capsules, delivery of placenta capsules and an unlimited email or text postpartum follow-up. We love hearing about your experience, and answer questions once you have used our placenta services.

We offer 3 options of encapsulation Basic, Traditional, and Both...

Basic

Your Investment: $250, attending a prenatal meet and greet, and having a postpartum conversation about your capsules.

The Traditional method of preparation involves gently heating the placenta first with steam and optional fresh organic ginger in the water, then dehydrating the placenta before it is put into capsules. Using this preparation is thought to bring out the placenta's healing and longer lasting tonifying properties. This method is thought to be best when working with a history of depression or postpartum depression.This method tends to yield fewer capsules than the Basic method as it is steamed first before encapsulation. Depending on capsule size 0 or 00 and size of the placenta, yield is generally from 70 -150. This method is heated at the highest temperature, 160°, for two hours before being dropped down to 125° for 22 hours.

Traditional

Your Investment: $270, attending a prenatal meet and greet, and having a postpartum conversation about your capsules.

Both

Your Investment: $300, attending prenatal meet and greet, and having a postpartum conversation about your capsules.

Many mothers enjoy having both types of encapsulation, so we do half Traditional and half Basic. They enjoy using the Traditional for when they first start taking their capsules to have that more consistent hormone stabilization and the Basic for the more energetic properties when they are ready to start adding more into their day. A wonderful option brought to you by the amazing women we have served the last few years. We call this “Both” because it is not a true half and half as everything is heated at the highest temperature, 160°, for 4 hours before being dropped down to 120° for 20 hours. Depending on capsule size 0 or 00 and size of the placenta, yield is generally from 70 -180.
