COMPREHENSIVE TRAINING AND EXPERIENce

I have been serving the Seattle/Tacoma and surrounding areas for over 11 years and have earned a reputation as a trusted and reputable service provider. I follow the OSHA & EPA guidelines for safe handling of blood-borne pathogens and food. Placenta encapsulation is considered a food-handling process, not a sterile medical procedure. I dispose of all disposable equipment and supplies properly, and sanitize all non-disposable equipment before and after every client. This ensures that every aspect of the process adheres to rigorous standards, providing superior safety to clients. You can be confident that your placenta will be handled respectfully, safely, and properly.

PROPER REFRIGERATION AND TRANSPORTATION PROTOCOLS

Proper refrigeration is crucial for the storage and transportation of placentas to prevent bacterial colonization. With over 800 placentas safely transported and encapsulated, I have the experience needed to safely transport your placenta for preparation. I also provide my clients with everything they need for proper storage and handling of their placenta.

I ONLY WORK ON ONE PLACENTA AT A TIME

Your safety is my top priority, I will only work on one placenta at any given time. In the rare event that two of my clients give birth on the same day, I have a few options in place for both clients to choose how they wish to proceed. I will complete the first placenta, disinfect everything, and then begin the second one. I pay close attention to detail and ensure that each client receives the highest level of safety. To maintain my availability, I have decided to limit the number of clients I accept each month. Moreover, I have a team of backup specialists with similar skills and experience who are always on standby. My service doesn't end when I deliver your capsules. You can consult with me at any time, and I will be happy to answer any questions you have about your placenta products.

PREPARATION AREA IS PROPERLY DISINFECTED

I thoroughly disinfect my entire preparation surface with a bleach solution before and after use. The concentration of bleach used exceeds OSHA protocols to prevent cross-contamination. To remove any bleach residue, I do a clean water rinse and then lay down food-safe paper on my workspace as an added barrier.

EQUIPMENT IS PROPERLY DISINFECTED

To prevent cross-contamination, it is essential to disinfect the equipment after every use, as it comes in contact with multiple clients. My protocol includes washing everything with hot soapy water, followed by a rinse. Then, the equipment is fully immersed in a 10% bleach solution for half an hour. A final rinse with clean water is necessary to eliminate any bleach residue. This disinfection process is the standard required by OSHA and the EPA and is designed to kill STIs and blood-borne pathogens. Also, I replace the equipment yearly and prefer to use disposable products whenever possible. If you wish, I can prepare your placenta using your equipment.
