Placenta Encapsulation Specialist Certification Course

A Placenta Encapsulation Specialist is an individual who is professionally trained to convert human placentas into ingestible capsules. Placenta ingestion is an ancient practice that can have many positive benefits in a birthing person and encapsulation presents a more palatable and convenient way for the placenta to be taken. Placenta encapsulation is also a specialized skill set that allows a birther worker to provide additional service offerings and gain income while presenting new methods of support to individuals during their postpartum journey. This service can be offered even if you are not present at the time of their delivery. Through our three week blended learning certification course Gifted Hands provides birth workers the evidence based and hands on training needed to provide this service to their clients.

Individuals who pursue their Placenta Encapsulation certification with Gifted Hands experince the following benefits

  • Detail Curriculum

    Students will be guided by an instructor through a comprehensive evidenced based curriculum

  • Bloodborne pathogen training

  • Hands on training with actual placentas

    While most other programs use chicken breast or other cuts of meat, during the Gifted Hand's training students will learn to encapsulate using actual placentas
