​"I am almost as excited to receive the encapsulated placenta again as I am to have this little nugget!" - Included on contact me form submission by repeat PlacentaMom client 
"I am so grateful to Tamara- she provides such an amazing and valuable service to our birthing community. She is a pleasure to work with and did a fantastic job with my placenta. My sister has used her services as well, and she and I both feel like it helped us tremendously in the postpartum. Thank you Tamara for the work you do!!" - Marcy Ronneberg, CNM
"I was so happy with Tamara's services - she is professional and always quick to respond to any communication." - Anonymous
"Tamara was wonderful! Having her pick up the placenta went smoothly and the capsules and tincture arrived before we got home from the hospital." - Rachael, first time mom
"I personally used her and it was a god-send! She is so professional, and I asked her every question under the sun, "what if I had an infection during labor? What if I'm gbs positive and get antibiotics? When would you not recommend encapsulating?" She patiently answered all my questions and what-if scenarios clearly and it was obvious she knows her placentas! And so easy to contact and I knew my placenta was in good hands!" - Jennifer Taylor, CNM
"I decided to encapsulate my placenta four years ago (August, 2014), when I had my first child (a son). The experience was awesome! My milk came in the day I began taking the capsules and my supply stayed strong for 9 months. Tamara was professional and efficient during the process. She worked well with our doula to ensure my placenta was handled with love and care. Because of my positive experience with Tamara, it was a given that I would be a returning client when I gave birth to my daughter this past summer (July, 2018). I was, again, given the same love and care as I received four years ago. I recommended Tamara’s services to my sister, as well. Of course, my sister had a wonderful experience too. Tamara is extremely thorough and conscientious." - Mother to Jude and Stella, Aunt to Emilia 
"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!" - Brittney - 1st time Mom of Twins
"I was very pleased with how easy it was to have my placenta encapsulated by PlacentaMom. I decided to encapsulate my placenta for the benefits of healing more quickly after giving birth, hope to avoid the "baby blues", shorten postpartum bleeding, and help bring my uterus back to its normal size. Once I received my capsules I decided to take 2 pills each day. I definitely think that they have helped balance my mood and everything I had hoped they would help with. Not sure what the time frame is for postpartum bleeding, but I stopped at 4 weeks postpartum. By my checkup with my OB my uterus was back to normal size. I would definitely encapsulate my placenta again with any future pregnancies and highly recommend friends and family to do so." - Crystal, first time mom
"I recently had my third child and decided to give placenta encapsulation a try. Tamara was recommended to me by my midwife and I’m so happy I was connected with her for this process. It was smooth, easy and so worth every penny! Tamara was easily contacted and she followed through with every promise. I even contacted her after receiving my pills with questions that seemed silly at the time but she reassured me with answers that were helpful and she made me feel comfortable to ask more questions in the future. I highly recommend Placenta mom!" - Mom to Three Boys 
"Tamara was super professional and attentive! She had our package ready and shipped to us within two days of being home from the hospital. Will absolutely use her again." - Sacramento Mama
"In anticipation of the arrival of my second child I knew I needed to reach out to Tamara. I used Tamara for encapsulation of my placenta with my first child and I noticed the difference right away from recovery (I had a 36 hour labor and then an emergency c-section) to overall mood. Tamara was great to work with again from start to finish. I am 4 months post-partum and have just returned to work and noticed how much energy I have on days I take my pills. I would absolutely recommend her!" - Antoinette/Mom of Two 
"Congratulations on your 7 years as Placenta Mom! Motherhood is absolutely AMAZING and I thank God everyday because you made the bond between my children and I so personal and physically closer. Here are recent pictures of A who will be 4 in August and G who will be 3 in November =) I can't believe it's already been that long since we met!" - E
"Two words: life saving! Encapsulating my placenta was one of the best decisions I made during my pregnancy/baby journey. My capsules helped with my milk coming in three days after giving birth and boosting my milk supply nearly ten weeks postpartum. Tamara is professional, efficient and caring. I also saved ten capsules for when I return to work. It gives me peace of mind knowing that I have the capsules for "a rainy day." - Raeanne, first time mom 
"I cannot thank you enough for your awesome services.  I will never have another baby without placenta encapsulation again!  Such a stark difference from baby one to baby two!" - C, Mom to three
"I had a wonderful experience with placenta mom and encapsulation. I highly recommend Tamara for this service. She was knowledgeable and supportive every step of the way. This was my 4th baby and first time encapsulating. I wish I had done it with my previous pregnancies." - Emily, mom to four​ 
"Tamara was very friendly, helpful and professional throughout the entire process. I am very pleased with the end products that I received. I do feel that my encapsulated placenta helped me a little bit through my postpartum healing. I am also in love with the dried heart-shaped umbilical cord keepsake! I wish I had known about Placenta Mom with my first so I could have had the same experience twice. If I have another child in California, I will definitely be contacting her again. I highly recommend Placenta Mom’s services to anyone who is wanting to, or is on the fence about have their placenta encapsulated." - Carly, Mom of Two
"I had my placenta encapsulated with my second baby. I wish I had done it with my first. My recovery was so much quicker this time around. My milk supply is great and my son sleeps so much better than my first did. One day I forgot to take the capsules and I noticed that I was more irritable and that my baby slept worse. I made sure to not forgot to take them again. I feel great for having an active 2 1/2 year old and 6 week baby. I'm definitely recommending this to all my pregnant friends. And if we decide to go for a third, I will definitely do this again! Tamara was a pleasure to work with. She responded to all my emails in a timely manner. My son was born 11 days overdue and Tamara kept in touch through the end. She picked up the placenta 4 hours after I gave birth and I had the capsules two days later. Thank you again placenta mom!" - Mom to two
"Thank you for checking in! The placenta capsules made my postpartum recovery a day and night difference compared to my first born. I am so thankful for them, and so is my husband! I was extremely fearful I would have PPD again, but having the capsules as part of my regimen really helped. I didn't know this newborn period could be so enjoyable. Thank you for giving a gift much bigger than just a capsule! I want you to know that my OB from Kaiser Roseville was the one who referred me. I think it's fantastic that western medicine is looking outside just their ways. I'm thankful my OB mentioned placenta encapsulation because it changed my outlook! Keep up the great work!" - A Super Happy PlacentaMom Client 
"My recovery has been amazing and I really feel that is due in part to the placenta capsules. Recovering from my last birth 2 years ago was hard physically, mentally and emotionally. This time has been dramatically different. The physical healing was quicker (last time it was months before I felt well, this time it was a couple weeks). I have been so much more stable emotionally, which has been the most significant and important difference for both myself and my family. I highly recommend this service!" - Candis
"We had our daughter in September of last year.  Shortly after, we moved all the way from California to New Jersey because my husband is in the military.  Needless to say, things have been non stop since then. I heard about your services from my Doula, Jennifer Anderson.  When I considered placenta encapsulation I knew we would be experiencing a stressful cross country move with a one month old baby (and two cats) and I thought, why not, it can't hurt to try it.  I didn't start taking the pills right away and I took the minimum dosage because I wanted to make sure I had enough pills to continue to take during the move and a bit after. Once I started taking the pills I noticed my postpartum bleeding slowed down which was great.  I also really feel the pills helped to keep my milk from drying up since I was really stressed.  My husband has been in the military for 12 years now and out of all our moves this one has been the most stressful.  Anything that could have gone wrong during this move, did (including our household goods getting lost and arriving two weeks later than expected).  So, with that said, I really feel like the placenta pills helped to keep my mood and stress levels in check all while helping me to have enough energy for a new baby and a cross country move. Thank you for being so professional throughout the process of becoming a client, scheduling the pick up, and actually picking up the placenta from the hospital.  The process was so easy and you had the pills in the mail to me very quickly.  I would definitely recommend your services and contact you again with our next pregnancy if we are lucky enough to move back to CA." - Happy PlacentaMom Client
"Thank you for your loving attention after I had my second baby. I used the capsules lightly & felt great! I would recommend this to any new mom & will do it again if our family grows." - Jo Mom to two girls 
"I decided to encapsulate my placenta after doing extensive research into the many benefits of encapsulation. I was referred to placentamom.com as being the best around from my doula. My birth did not go as planned and I ended up having a cesarean. The hospital was very accommodating and still gave me a release. My recovery was wonderful, I felt healthy and energized immediately when I started talking my capsules. I received my capsules within a day or two and the process was extremely professional and caring. I would refer any mom to be looking to encapsulate through placentamom!" - First time mom 
"I am a first time mom and heard about placenta capsules through my birthing class. Depression has struck many members of my family and the last thing I wanted was to get postpartum depression, so I decided to give the placenta capsules a try. My postpartum experience was even better than I expected. Some of it being due to my quick labor and delivery but I also feel like the capsules helped give me extra energy, heal faster and I had no symptoms of postpartum depression. I have become an advocate of placenta capsules and am so grateful for Tamara Morales' business." - Jessica, first time mom
"This was my second pregnancy and my second time using Tamara's services and I loved it! My recovery was exceptional and since I had a toddler to take care of in addition to a newborn this time getting up on my feet after a C-section was critical." - Danielle - mom of two 
"I am doing great and so is baby! I can’t tell you how much the pills have helped me! They drastic improve my energy level and my mood! My husband can even tell when I haven’t taken them that day. Thank you so much for your help and I will definitely let you know if I need anything." - B in Sacramento
"I did not have my placenta encapsulated with my first 2 children, and didn't give it a try until my 3rd was born. Postpartum recovery was practically non-existent for me this time around, and although it's anecdotal, I contribute that at least in part to the placenta capsules. I had very little/light bleeding (only needed a pantyliner vs. numerous large pads) which subsided by 4 weeks, no real breakdown/weepy days, and pretty much felt "normal" almost right away (beside the usual newborn-induced tiredness, lol). Now, of course I realize/acknowledge that every mom, every baby, and every birth experience is different, and especially beyond the 1st child, both labor/delivery and recovery tend to usually get a bit easier, but I still believe that my placenta capsules played a role. I felt more hormonally/emotionally stable this time around, and although the transition from 2 to 3 kids felt overwhelming at times, like I said, I really didn't have any breakdowns, whereas with my others, I had plenty of weepy/emotional days/moments." - Mama of 3, cute as can be :) 
"I am so glad I decided to have my placenta encapsulated for my second pregnancy. For my first pregnancy I had postpartum depression and was prescribed an anti-depressant. I also had trouble breastfeeding due to a low supply. A few days after giving birth to my second child I noticed I was starting to feel weepy. My pills happened to arrive the same day and I started taking them right away. From that point on I never had any issues with mood swings or depression. I noticed I had a lot of energy, despite not sleeping very much. In fact, people who visited us kept commenting on how great I looked and how much energy I had. I have not had any issues with breastfeeding this time around either. I have recommended placenta encapsulation to my friends who are pregnant and passed along Tamara's information. My recovery was a breeze as well. I would definitely do this again." - Alicia, second time mom
A huge thank you to all PlacentaMom clients! 
Thank you for choosing me to encapsulate your placenta & sharing in this joyful time for your family. 
I am honored and wish you all the best. 
Much love, -Tamara Morales 'The Placenta Mom'
​(June 3, 2019)
"Great overall experience with encapsulating my placenta and working with Tamara. She was always very quick to respond to my emails with any questions and my husband found it easy and quick to meet with her after my delivery. Having the pills mailed to us also helped since we were just settling at home with our newborn. Taking these pills morning and night definitely aided in my recovery. I had energy even during the sleepless nights, did not feel any postpartum depression, had no problems Breastfeeding (aside from the initial soreness) and had a very smooth recovery from my c section. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone, it's natural, affordable (especially considering the long shelf life) and really let me enjoy being at home with my new baby without the worries of postpartum coming." - Kim D, first time mama and loving it!
"I decided to encapsulate my placenta after hearing about it from one of my girlfriends who had recently had a baby. I have to admit that it kind of weird-ed me out a bit until I did the research on it and was surprised to read all of the benefits. My mom suffered from severe depression after she had me and I was very worried that I would fall into the same category. I am happy to report that baby and I are both very happy and healthy. I haven't experienced any postpartum depression and healed VERY quickly from my C-section, which I very much attribute to the capsules. My experience with Tamara was great. She was very communicative, which I very much appreciate. I had my son right before Christmas and the capsules were a bit late in arriving due to the holiday bulk mail. I sent her a text following up with her regarding their delivery and she quickly checked up on the problem and sent me the receipt from the post office detailing when they would arrive. I absolutely recommend this service to all of my family and friends. It's totally worth it." - Morgan - first time mom 
"I decided to encapsulate my placenta after hearing postpartum stories from my friend, who had great results with her placenta encapsulation. I found it balanced my hormonal high's and low's. As a mom to a newborn you need all the help you can get. I will definitely do placenta encapsulation again! Tamara was so accommodating and kind. I will also be passing along my experience and Tamara's information to friends who are pregnant. Great job Tamara!" - Anonymous 
"I decided to do placenta encapsulation because I wanted to do everything I could to ensure my first few weeks of being a new mom went as smoothly as possible. I was mainly concerned about postpartum depression as I have suffered from depression in my past. I didn't experience any "baby blues". I live being a mom & my mood has been great. I was also concerned with bleeding after having my baby. I had a miscarriage in my past and bled for 4 months; however, I stopped bleeding completely about 5 weeks after having my baby. In addition, I am producing more breast milk than I need- which was another concern of mine. This is my first baby, so I have no experience not taking placenta capsules; but, I've only read good things about them & figured it could't hurt & may even help! All I can say is that my experience was positive. BTW, thank you Tamera for accepting my last minute request!" - Mom to Jaxson
"I contacted Tamara for placental encapsulation to assist with healing and milk supply after our little one was born. She met us at the hospital to pick up the placenta and I had the capsules in the mail 2 days later! She was fabulous, professional and very communicative. I would recommend her to any and all!" - Dr. Trisha Wimbs, Mom to Denver
"I decided to encapsulate my placenta because it just made sense to me to continue to nourish my baby (and me) with the same vitamins, minerals and hormones we experienced during pregnancy. Through my research there seemed to be really no downside and I was more than pleased with our results, and working with Tamara. For months after giving birth, I seemed to have increased energy levels, despite getting very little sleep with my newborn and I'm sure it was because of the nourishment I received from the placenta capsules. I'm actually sad I can't continue take them as a normal supplement daily! I will definitely be encapsulating my placenta with my next pregnancy and have already referred this service to multiple friends." - Beth, first time Mom 
"Tamara was prompt, accommodating and kept me informed about the encapsulation process and when and how I would receive my capsules. I texted her for the first time the day after I gave birth and arrangements were made for pick up; it was so easy. I also appreciated the keepsake of my child's birth. Her fee was reasonable and due to this experience, I would seek PlacentaMom's services for my next child." - Aileen, Mama to 4 girls
"I heard about placenta encapsulation a couple months before my due date and thought it to be very bizarre at first. I think mostly because you dont hear about this kind of thing in the mainstream. After learning the great benefits of it and the history it seemed so natural to take advantage of after birth for both me and my baby. I know I'm providing essential nutrients to my baby and myself plus the pills took away my PPD within just a few days. I didn't have to do anything except exchange a couple of emails with Tamara and the capsules were brought right to my door step 2 days after I gave birth. I highly recommend Tamara's services and will be using her in the future. Thanks Tamara!" - first time mom 
"​Oh my gosh the pills are the best! I tell everyone that they help so much and every pregnant woman needs them! I mean all mammals eat theirs so why wouldn't we! I swear that my bounce back and milk production is all from the placenta pills! Thank you so much for this service!" New Mom D 
"I just had my placenta encapsulated for the second time, and I have recommended my sister and 2 friends. The capsules have helped with my milk supply and energy levels. There has also been days where I feel down or "outside of myself" and On those days I've taken an extra dose of capsules and felt better. I think every mom should encapsulate their placenta!" - mom of three
"After placenta previa required me to have a c-section, placenta encapsulation was the sweetest revenge on my placenta. My son was 5 weeks early, I had a scary bleed and an emergency c-section. I had difficulty breastfeeding because my son was early....but two months into motherhood I feel fantastic. I never thought I could survive the sleep deprivation, let alone all the complications in my pregnancy. I would do it again in a heartbeat. I would recommend placenta encapsulation to anyone and everyone. I would recommend Tamara of course too. She was so attentive and dedicated throughout the process. She was unbelievably quick in responses. Fabulous!!" - Liz, first time mom
"Tamara was great! Very responsive and helpful with the process from start to finish. During this time when everything is new, it was nice to have someone like Tamara that did what she said she would do and be there when she said she would be there. It took that stress off the table. I would recommend Tamara to anyone who is interested in placenta encapsulation. Thank you for offering this service!" - Allison, first time mom
"Thank you Tamara! I initially was skeptical of having my placenta encapsulated, but my good friend and my midwife were both touting the benefits. I researched its benefits, how common it is for women worldwide to use their placenta after birth, and encapsulation is based on Traditional Chinese medicine I was convinced. Tamara had my pills overnighted 2 days after coming to my house to pick up my placenta.I started taking the pills 5 days after I delivered my 2nd child. I took the pills consistently and felt like I was healing so much faster than my 1st pregnancy! I also felt like I was eating better (I have a sweet tooth) and I wouldn't crave junk food as much! My mood was layed back and I wasn't as stressed out as I thought I'd be with two kids to take care of. I would definitely recommend to my friends! Thank you Tamara for such a wonderful service you provide :) My husband thought I was more patient on days that I took the pills :)" - Rose 2nd Time Around 
"I decided to encapsulate my placenta because of my previous history of depression. If I hadn't decided to do it for that reason, I would have made it after my traumatic birth experience. However, my depression has been linked with the changing hormones of my cycle, so I was very concerned that with the severe drop in hormones after childbirth, I would develop PPD. Fortunately, I didn't develop PPD, and taking the recommended dose of the capsules was too strong for me. I emailed Tamara and she got back to me so quickly and recommended a lower dose. It worked like a charm and I now feel so great! I'm so grateful for Tamara's knowledge and commitment to her customers. It had made my postpartum period so much easier. I would definitely encapsulate my next placenta and Tamara has my return business." - Deanna, mom to Joshua 
"The capsules have been a lifesaver, as far as I can tell. When you delivered them, I was still waiting for my milk to come in and feeling anxious and exhausted. The baby had been seen at the pediatrician's office that morning, four days after her birth, and had lost 13 oz, bringing her weight down to 7 lbs. I took the first dose right after you left and within hours my milk came in and the next day I was feeling more energized and less stressed. I have had no problem with milk production--indeed, I am dripping with it!--nor have I had any wild hormonal mood swings; I feel fairly balanced. I believe this has helped me bond more closely with my baby and my husband, which I am very thankful for! In addition, the baby fed so well that by her two week checkup (1.5 weeks after I began taking the capsules), she had gained back all the weight she lost in the first few days. I would most definitely recommend encapsulation to my family and friends and your service was fast, friendly, and very helpful to me as a new, first-time mother! Thank you so much!" - Liz, first time mother of Josefina 
"Tamara was great in helping us despite our and her busy schedules." - a happy dad 
"One of my friends did placenta encapsulation with her first child a few years ago and raved about it. After doing some research on the benefits I decided I'd like to try it as well. I started taking my capsules on my fourth post delivery day and noticed a significant difference in my mood and how I felt physically. I am very glad I decided to encapsulate my placenta and have been touting the benefits since. Tamara was wonderful to work with, she met my partner to get the placenta and had the capsules back to me about the same time I got home from the hospital." - Rona, first time mom
"I felt wonderful after the birth of my son, and attribute some of that awesomeness to taking my placenta capsules. I have a wonderful milk supply for my baby, and am still feeling great at 8 weeks post delivery. Thank you for picking up my placenta and making the process so easy!" - Jennifer, mom to three boys! 
"I give God Praise n Glory and Thank You for your work!!! Recovery went well, nursing amazing, my milk supply is great, and my energy level balanced. I feel great for having baby#7. I’m Not gonna run a marathon, but I do get up and am active with family on little sleep to no sleep and hormones feel normal I finished bleeding 3 1/2 weeks went for postpartum check 5 weeks my doctor said I had everything back to normal like I gave birth to 1st child not 7th. I tell everyone of this miracle. Thank You Thank You Thank You!" - Mom to 7 & Repeat PlacentaMom client
"I finally decided to get my placenta encapsulated after the birth of my 3rd baby. SO glad I did! Made a huge difference in my energy level and recovery time. I also noticed a big shift in my mood when I stopped taking them pills after a month because I caught a cold. Instant tears, weeping, and feeling overwhelmed every day until I started taking the pills again. Having 3 kids is still overwhelming but no more tears!! Now if only the placenta pills could get my newborn to sleep for more than a 3 hour stretch, my life would be perfect." - Katrina, mom of 3.
"I just wanted to thank you. August, 2012, you dried and encapsulated my son's placenta. It was large enough that I only needed half of my 2-container batch to help me through the postpartum period. However, my husband became life-threateningly-ill October 2012 (after an organ transplant, he's nearly back to full health again). I was too busy to cope with it emotionally until now, and its been overwhelming, but I've begun taking my placenta pills (which I stored in my freezer) to try and cope with the stress. Like before, I feel more energized and more stable. Without those pills, I think I'd be a mess. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You gave me life after birth and now you've given me life after near-death. I swear by encapsulation and have recommended you (and the process) to all friends who are or are planning to become pregnant. Thank you for doing what you do." - Brandi M
"Tamara was very professional and answered all my questions about encapsulation. I received my capsules only a day after I got home from the hospital, and only two days after my baby was born. It was great! I would definitely recommend Tamara and encapsulation to my friends, family or even strangers. :) I would also tell anyone who isn't educated about placenta encapsulation, that the benefits are great and well worth the money. My recovery was fast and easy and I've been in a far better mood than with my first daughter (which I did not encapsulate my placenta.) Thank you Tamara!" - Heather, mom to two girls (2 years and 6 weeks)
"Tamara I wanted to thank you so much for your services. I am so happy I decided to do this. I had an amazing recovery and with a family history of ppd I had none! I had a ton of energy despite my lack of sleep and exhaustion after my 30hr labor! I am referring you to friends and will definitely use your services again with our next baby. Thank you again for being so helpful and having my pills to me the day I got home from the hospital!!" - anonymous
"Thank you, thank you for providing this service to new moms! I'm so glad I found you, Tamara, and am thankful to my midwives for recommending you. I was a little hesitant about the idea of placenta encapcilation at first, but once I heard about how it can really help with postpartum issues, I was on board! I felt I needed help since I struggled with moderate postpartum depression after my first child was born. I was so impressed with the fact that you drove to me and quickly returned in a few days with my capsules." - Chrissie - mom of two
"I decided to encapsulate my placenta after hearing about all of the potentially amazing benefits that it might offer, like decreased postpartum depression or baby blues, more energy, increased milk supply and faster healing. I had a bout of baby blues with my first son and physically felt like I was dying for almost 2 months. My postpartum course taking the placenta capsules has been night and day! No depression, only tears have been of joy! I wouldn't say that I have a burst of energy but I don't mind helping my baby at night and feel pretty good most days, better if I get a nap. I would definitely recommend encapsulation to anyone with a history of depression, anxiety or just wanting to give themselves the best chance of a smooth postpartum experience. Tamara is very professional and knowledgeable, I trust her completely! She also comes highly recommended by several of my doula and midwife colleagues." - Gabi, mother of two boys 
"We are happy with our decision to have Tamara make the placenta encapsulation pills. She was professional, polite, and timely! Thanks again- the pills have worked great!" - Kristy, first time mom 
"I chose placenta Encapsulation because I already spend so much money on high quality vitamins it seemed silly not to. I am also a fan of the health benefits of organ meat but there's so many problems with toxins, again here I got high quality organ meat of known quality. Tamara was great to work with! She made the process easy and seem effortless. People have told me I look great and seem to be recovering relatively quickly from a cesarean. I give much of the credit for my energy to the placenta. I'm also a single mom and with a month old friends and family tell me they're surprised by my energy." - Elena M, 1st time mom
"I have a history of depression and anticipated that sleep deprivation and exhaustion that comes with being a new mom would be challenging and affect me greatly. My acupuncturist recommended it as well as my relatives for healing and energy. So I decided I wanted to do everything possible to ensure that I would be at my optimum for my son, both physically and mentally. So I decided to do placenta encapsulation based on the benefits and recommendations." - Mom to Miracle Baby
"I would definitely do this again! As well as recommend this to anyone who will listen. All aspects of my postpartum experience were ten times better than with my first; my mood, breastmilk supply, recovery, everything!" - Jen, Mom to two
"Growing up I had a been diagnosed with depression that was later diagnosed as bipolar disorder. When my midwives suggested encapsulation I was skeptical at first but after researching it some more I wanted to try it. I have found that with the capsules I am a happier and more productive mother ... even my skeptical husband see's the difference" - Kat, mom to one
"Tamara, Thank you so very much for your special care and professionalism with encapsulating my placenta. I am feeling great and will definitely be in contact with you for my next birth. I especially love the heart keepsake you made from the cord, I put it in a frame and it is a beautiful reminder of how my daughter and I were connected. Thank you so much!" - Julie, first time mom
"I had postpartum pretty bad with my first two children. I would cry and cry and cry because I just loved them so much. I was pretty emotional for a few weeks. So, when I found out I was pregnant with my 3rd child, someone began telling me about placenta encapsulation and it really intrigued me. I was going to try and do it myself, but thought it might be too much with just having a newborn. I mentioned it to my midwives and they gave me the contact information for Tamara. I couldn't be happier with my experience! I feel as though the placenta capsules helped me out so much. I was able to control my emotions a little better and only had that postpartum feeling for the 1st week (compared to 2-3 weeks with my first two children). I had more energy and just felt great! I would do it again in a heartbeat and have began spreading the word about what an amazing experience it truly was! Thank you Tamara!" - Rachel-mom to three 
"I am so happy to have found Tamara and tried placenta encapsulation. Me and my baby are doing fantastic and I believe the pills have helped me greatly with my postpartum period. Thanks again Tamara!!" - Jody, first time mom
"My husband and I decided to do a home birth with a midwife. During the course of our research we came across the idea and practice of encapsulating the placenta. I came across Tamara's website (aka Placenta Mom) and contacted her. From the start there was no commitment. I asked her all of the questions I needed to in order to feel comfortable about my choice. She was extremely delightful and knowledgeable about the practice. Cut to the day I went into labor. I had not made an arrangement with Tamara! I had a beautiful home birth with my midwives and mentioned I hadn't nailed down encapsulating the placenta. One of the midwives said "Are you going through Tamara? I refer all of my clients to her." I was sold, she had Tamara's contact info in her cell phone. We literally called her while I held my newborn. Tamara was at my house the next day and delivered my placenta vitamins the following day. She accommodated her schedule to allow for us to encapsulate our placenta and I'm extremely grateful to her. I had postpartum depression with my first and for me it was taking a step to prevent this from happening with my second child. I have taken the vitamins since my daughter's birth and would do it again. I highly recommend Tamara and encapsulating the placenta for mom and baby!" - Lori O.
"I knew I wanted to reap the benefits of ingesting my placenta, yet making a "placenta smoothie" just wasn't too appealing. Once I heard about placenta encapsulation, I knew it was what I wanted. It completely takes that "ew" factor out of placenta-ingestion; it's like adding another vitamin to your daily mix. I heard about the Placenta Mom two days after giving birth. With my placenta safely in the fridge, I sent Tamara a text. Her response was very quick and she was at the house that evening to pick up the package. Encapsulation took the entire next day, in this case, and she returned the pills (along with a surprising and heartfelt memento) the following morning along with very clear instructions and precautions. I've followed Tamara's recommended capsule regimen and love them! While I don't know what my postpartum mood would have been like without them, I do know that they have lifted my mood even higher than it was already. I remember the first day I started taking them; I was taking a picture of my parents and sister holding the baby and found something particularly hilarious about the way they were posed. They couldn't figure out why I was laughing to the point of tears. The only thing I could do to explain the fit was to point at the tub of capsules. Taking My placenta in this way gives me a little daily boost of confidence and reassurance. I just feel better, more capable. I highly recommend encapsulating your placenta and using Tamara, the Placenta Mom, to do so! While your physical interactions with her are short and sweet, she truly does take care of each mom as if she were family." - Andy, first time mom
"I suffer from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome- I had it for about 2 years before pregnant. It was one of my main concerns how I would hold up after pregnancy. My husband found out about this and suggested it. I had a hard time with the concept but he was insistent. I am so so glad we did. A week after pregnancy I was completely normal hormonally and I had energy to get up all night. I could tell when I missed a day because I would be weepy and would feel tired. I contribute my fast recovery and great feeling to taking these pills. I wish I had a year supply! Tamara was great- she met my husband at the hospital to pick up the placenta and dropped it off at our house. :)" - First time Mom/Dad, Melissa and Justin
"I encapsulated my placenta after I met a new mom in San Francisco, whose one piece of advice to me was to do this process. I'd never heard of it, but I liked the idea, went home and did some research and came across Tamara's page. The price was reasonable and I found nothing that said ingesting your placenta was bad so I contacted Tamara. She was friendly and responsive and so we decided to do it. The first week is definitely a whirlwind and considering the changes I did great. I credit the pills for making it easy." - New Mom
"I am SO glad that I decided to have my placenta encapsulated this time around! After I had my first son, I suffered from PPD. This was one of my biggest fears during my 2nd pregnancy, I did NOT want to go through that again! A friend of mine recommended placenta encapsulation, I did my research and knew it was what I would be doing and contacted Tamara. I could not be more satisfied with this experience. This time around I have NOT experienced any PPD. IF I ever decided to have a 3rd child, I would definitely have my placenta encapsulated again. I recommend placenta encapsulation to all women who are expecting!" - Kim
"Tamara is HEAVEN SENT for this Bipolar Mom! I decided to encapsulate my placenta because I wanted a natural way to "medicate" during my postpartum period. I worked with my psychiatrist to wean off of lithium and prozac and I dearly wanted to breastfeed my son after pregnancy. Tamara came to our house within 24 hours of delivery and the entire encapsulation process took less than 3 hours total. She has such a sweet and understanding demeanor, and answered my questions so honestly and patiently. I have been using my placenta capsules for 16 days now and had less crying spells and anxiety as soon as I started ingesting them. My husband has seen my tumultuous journey from the mental hospital, through therapy, and now through my first pregnancy and he is IMPRESSED with how well the capsules make me feel. My breastmilk came in on day 3 as well and I had to pump because my supply was overflowing! I would definitely encapsulate again and I highly recommend Tamara's service to pregnant women and their families everywhere." - First time Bipolar Mom 
"I was told about Placenta encapsulation with Tamara from my Acupuncturist Dr. Cherry when I was pregnant with my first daughter. I figured that since I did acupuncture to get help get up pregnant and read about all of the benefits of the encapsulation I figured why not give it a try. I took them faithfully and felt great no signs of post partum and had a large milk supply. When we found out we were pregnant again with our second daughter my husband and I discussed that we would be silly not to do it again. With having a scheduled C-section we knew things would be different but did not want to miss out on the benefits of the capsules. Once again Tamara delivered an excellent experience and I finally got to meet her. I recommend this is anyone whom is pregnant I would do it again in a heartbeat. Thank you Tamara for helping make our transition to 2 so great and my transition into mother a complete joy!" - Angela, mom of 2 girls
"I was hesitant to have my placenta encapsulated, but had heard great things about the benefits from doulas, my lactation consultant, and friends. So I decided to try it, and could not be happier that I did. After taking the pills, my mood swings evened out, I had more energy, and I was able to be a better mother to my baby. I would absolutely recommend placenta encapsulation by Tamara to any new mom." - H.R., first time mom
"I really cannot say enough good things about my experience with placenta encapsulation. I did it with my first birth and found them to be absolutely necessary. I had a lot of really difficult things going on in my life at the time of my first birth and really feel that I could have easily slipped into depression so easily. I truly feel that having the capsules helped me stay on top emotionally and physically. It helped my milk to come in and remain plentiful. I was amazed at how quickly my body healed afterward even though it had been a pretty traumatic birth. Luckily, I had saved some capsules from my first birth and was able to start taking them immediately after my second birth. I was even more amazed this time around. My milk came in even faster than the first time and faster than the midwives had expected. My body healed so quickly. I was able to escape the "day three tears" as the midwives called them. All in all, I would not fail in recommending Tamara's services to any mom open to the idea. She was so great and worked with me in such a kind way. It felt good knowing my placenta was being treated so well and by such a wonderful person. I'm absolutely sure that part of the reason the capsules worked wonders for me was because of the love that Tamara puts into her work. Thank you Mother Goddess and Tamara for such a magical gift." - Shea, Mom to Harper and Alaizah
"I decided to encapsulate my placenta on the recommendation of my midwife and research I did on my own. My midwife gave me Tamara's information and I found her website really helpful and informative as a part of my research in making the decision to encapsulate my placenta. Tamara was great to work with and came less than a week after my birth to begin the process. It's so convenient and hassle free for her to come to your home. All you need to do is bring your placenta home and that's it. While I can't compare how I'd feel without taking the pills, and sine it's my first child, I can't say without a doubt that taking the pills has helped my recovery. However, since giving birth my bleeding began to decrease almost immediately after beginning the pills. I haven't suffered from any sort of depression or anxiety and have not been overly emotional all but a few times and that was in response to a major life change. I have energy during the day, especially after taking my pills and now, 4 weeks postpartum, have virtually no bleeding and I have a lot of energy to accomplish errands, tasks and personal tasks during the day, despite being home alone with a baby who wants to eat all the time! Speaking of eating, I haven't had any issues with my milk supply, something I feared and I believe taking my placenta has only supported this very natural part of our bodies. My daughter lost only a few ounces after birth and has gained great since birth! She eats well and her output is fantastic. Again, whether this is connected to the placenta or not, I really believe at the minimum, it only supports what my body would naturally do. On the other hand, a lot of women seem to struggle with one thing or the other. Bleeding, problems with supply or moodiness/depression postpartum. I haven't experienced any of these things and am truly sad for the day I run out of my pills! I would, and have, recommended placenta encapsulation to friends. While it seems gross and weird at first, once you get over that, I think it's a real benefit that every mom should consider!" - Samantha, first time mom
"To sum things up: I feel like placenta encapsulation has helped me very much. WHY I DID IT: Placenta encapsulation just seemed like a good idea... I was familiar with the concept from my exposure to Chinese medicine. Prior to hearing about the possibility of placenta encapsulation in Sacramento, I had made the comment to my husband that "I will miss my placenta", inasmuch as I felt very happy, content, and at ease throughout my pregnancy and attributed much of that to pregnancy hormones. Although I have no history of depression, I do not consider myself as someone who functions well with sleep deprivation; and I felt like the hormonal earthquake of the transition from pregnant to postpartum could be a big challenge. The doula who helped with my baby's birth enthusiastically endorsed placenta encapsulation based on her having seen excellent results for second-time moms who had struggled the first time around (without placenta encapsulation) but did much better the second time (with the support of placenta encapsulation). MY EXPERIENCE: I felt great prior to having the placenta pills at my disposal, but those were the first 3 days when I was still high on endorphins from the birthing experience and hadn't yet had time to get severely tired from the sleep patterns of a new mom. Several times over the past 2 weeks (baby is 17 days old now), I have felt, for just 10 or 20 minutes, suddenly very weary or a bit overwhelmed. I suspect that the placenta pills have helped keep me stable and energetic, so that the tired/sad/overwhelmed state passes right through in 20 minutes or so. I don't know what my experience would have been without the placenta pills, but I certainly expected to suffer much more emotional distress and physical discomfort in the initial weeks postpartum. Contrary to what I'd expected, my main issue has been that I feel good enough to overdo it... a few days ago (on day 15 after the birth) I took my first walk (about 2/3 of a mile, total) with my daughter and husband. This seemed to trigger a resurgence of heavy bleeding, which scared me a little bit. Normally I take only 1/3 of what a Chinese practitioner might recommend, but that day I took the full amount... By the next morning, the bleeding had diminished to a very low flow. My husband opted not to leave comments (since, he says, he's not taking the pills) but I can say this: last week when I had a crying spell, he came to me with a glass of water and some placenta pills... I think that's an endorsement!" - Susan, first-time mom 
"I had Tamara encapsulate my placenta from both of my pregnancies. It is part of Chinese culture and she did a great job. She was very responsive as we live in the Bay Area. I believe it has helped eliminate any postpartum depression. We recommend her services and recommend the encapsulation.' - Lucy
"I decided to encapsulate my placenta after doing research online and speaking to my midwife. Depression runs in my family and I have heard some horror stories about postpartum blues. I also had a breast reduction three years prior to having my daughter so I was also concerned about my milk supply. As a first time mom, I don't really have anything else to compare it to but I can tell you some facts: Tamara is professional, knowledgeable and kind. I would not hesitate to recommend her and will use her again with any future children's placentas. I did not experience ANY postpartum depression and I am able to nurse my daughter. I couldn't have been happier with the outcome of my encapsulation or Tamara's services." - Chloe
"I am so thrilled with my decision to encapsulate. I had reason to believe I may be susceptible to negative postpartum emotions, and I barely experienced any "baby blues"...I was also able to breastfeed my son exclusively without any milk supply problems. I am thrilled with my experience, and will most definitely be doing the same thing for any future pregnancies. Tamara's flexibility and support of service were also truly amazing and I feel very grateful to have her as a resource for future pregnancies, as well." - Stefanie, first time mom
"Thank you for encapsulating my placenta! I decided to give it a try as a means of improving my milk supply. With my previous babies (this is number 4) I have struggled to have enough milk. My baby is now 3 weeks old and so far my milk has been plenty for him. I feel like the placenta capsules have made the difference. I will definitely do this again if I have another baby in the future and would recommend it to anyone I know who it pregnant!" - Rebecca, mom of 4
"I appreciate you for going out of your way to make sure I got the capsules.  Thank you so much, things have been great and I have been taking the capsules faithfully.  Motherhood is amazing and I am enjoying every moment with my little one.  
Thank you again for everything, I will be contacting you again when we decide to have a second baby!" - C, First time mom
"Having battled depression in the past, I contacted Tamara to get my placenta encapsulated so that I could avoid PPD following the birth of my first baby. Tamara was speedy in her responses to my emails and showed up at my house the day after I let her know that I had delivered. A month after giving birth, I feel great! I had about two days of "the blahs" in that first week, but today I feel fantastic and I'm enjoying every moment of new motherhood!" - Faith, first time mom
"I decided to encapsulate my placenta with my third baby in hopes to avoid postpartum depression. PlacentaMom was so great and understanding that I didn't want to watch. I've been taking my pills for 2 weeks and feel great! I had to stop taking my pills for a few days due to Mastitis and noticed an increase in bleeding and a definite lack of energy. Since I am saving the majority of my pills for weaning I won't be taking anymore. I can't wait to have these pills to take a year from now."
- Jacquelyn, mom to three
"I was very pleased how Tamara quickly turned my placenta into capsules. Within two days i was taking them, i did not feel any signs of the baby blues or postpartum depression. I'm thankful for people like Tamara" - Happy Mom
"I initially heard about Placenta Encapsulation during our Doula interviews, then through a friend who had used Tamara's services. She was very responsive to all my emails and let us know everything about the procedure, from what to do at the hospital (we birthed at Kaiser South Sac and they were very familiar with the procedure) to what would happen at home. The best part, in my opinion, was getting to see what my placenta looked like--I don't think many women even give theirs a second thought. It was pretty cool seeing what had been keeping my baby company and nourished for the past 9 months. As any first time mama would know the first days after giving birth are exhausting and your body is so sore, the last thing you think you'd want is to "entertain" a stranger in your home, but Tamara is not there to be entertained. She was as quite as a mouse and very pleasant. She comes fully equipped with all her necessities and leaves no mess behind. We had a wonderful experience working with her and would definitely do it again should we have more children. And, she dried our son's umbilical cord into the shape of a heart, what a sweet surprise and lovely keepsake. Thanks again, Tamara" - Stephanie, first time mama
"Dear Tamara, Thank you so much for providing such a healing and supportive service to mothers and families. I must tell you, I have been so grateful for the placenta capsules...with my first child's birth two years ago, I went into the postpartum blues without realizing it--and didn't come out of them until I started taking the pills two years later with the birth of my second child. As someone with a bipolar past, I can tell you that the opportunity to heal naturally, with the help of something created within my own body, is such a blessing and an amazing gift. With other kinds of medicines, I may have had to discontinue nursing, and I may not have come out the other side feeling like my true self. But with this natural healing option, I have had the energy, patience, and physical ability to care for my family and my children throughout this time of drastic change. Thank you for your generous works of love. I would recommend this simple and painless process to anyone." - Lesley, mother of two
"13 months after my daughter was born I started getting hot flashes and hormonal headaches. Plus also being very foggy heady from the previous year with lack of sleep. Knowing about placenta encapsulation and the possible benefits, I tried it. My daughter began to wean and the hot flashes, and hormone swings were barely there. Now that I am done taking the capsules I have not had one headache or mood swing. So thankful that Tamara reached out to me and I gave it a try! This is an amazing FREE thing our body gives back to us mommies. We should utilize the benefits more! Thanks Tamara!" - Sara mother of two, after 2nd baby
 "I felt the capsules definitely helped with getting my hormones and mood back on track, and my milk supply. I'm very glad I encapsulated my placenta, and will do it again with my next baby. Tamara was great to work with, she made it very easy by coming out to our house and working with times that worked best for us." - Second time Mom in Sacramento
"Choosing to encapsulate my placenta was by far one of the best decisions I made in regards to pregnancy/child birth. It never even crossed my mind until I heard about it on a pregnancy podcast. I decided to do some research and it just seemed like such a natural wonderful thing to do. I had a friend that had ppd after the birth of her first child and I knew that I wanted to try everything possible to avoid getting it as well. The first few days after my baby was born I cried everyday because of exhaustion and so many conflicting emotions. Around 4 days postpartum my capsules were finished and I started taking them. I truly felt so much better! I recommend this service to every pregnant mom I know, and I will definitely have my placenta encapsulated again :) Thank you Tamara" - First time mom
"Placenta encapsulation is one of the best decisions we made during our pregnancy. After giving it a lot of thought, my husband and I decided to contact Tamara to start the amazing process. My placenta was encapsulated shortly after our return from the hospital and I started taking them immediately. I noticed an increase in energy and I wasn't as "moody" when I took the pills. We will definitely contact Tamara for our future pregnancies, and recommend her services to anyone currently pregnant" - Emily Edwards
"I did not know about Placenta Encapsulation when I had my first baby, but respected his placenta enough to put it back into the earth, wrapped in his receiving blanket, buried under a beloved tree in our back yard. This time around I called Tamara and I feel fantastic! I would do it again in a heartbeat and have been spreading the word to other women" - Bethany Sasaki, RN and Mother of 2
"I decided to have my placenta encapsulated upon the recommendation of my midwife. She said that other patients had had great postpartum experiences with encapsulation, and she believed strongly that it eased the transition into the 4th trimester. Tamara was fantastic. I emailed her when I returned home from the birth center and she got back to me that night. She was at my house with all her tools the next day around noon. She cleaned all of her work areas before and after use (bonus clean kitchen sink). She is very friendly and easy to talk to. Tamara returned the next day and left us with a 135 pills, and a dried umbilical cord in the shape of a heart. I'll admit there was a bit of an ick factor as I took my first few doses, but that quickly faded when I realized how fantastic I felt. I really couldn't believe I had just had a baby a few days before. Although I was busy with a two year old and up quite a bit at night with a newborn, I still had lots of energy, and generally felt great. I also healed very quickly. I now refer to the pills as "my happy pills", because they really do seem to effect my mood. I can tell the difference when I skip a day. I feel generally calmer, and happier. Much more able to deal with the stresses that come with a new baby, than I was after my previous birth. I am SUCH a believer in placenta encapsulation I recommend it to all mothers. The process is so easy and the benefits are huge. Thank you so much Tamara." - Melissa, second time mom/birth doula
"During her postpartum period, I definitely noticed a positive difference in my wife's emotions and mood when she would take the capsules. - Kyle Edwards
"As a first time mom, I was not sure how the fluctuation in hormones after delivering my son would affect me. I wanted to do everything I could to help myself through that period, this is why I decided to encapsulate my placenta. I found Tamara to be extremely professional and pleasant to work with. I would highly recommend her to anyone I knew who was considering doing this. As far as the effects of the pills go, it's hard for me to say how they effected me in my postpartum period as this was my first baby. I did have a few weepy days, but as my husband pointed out, they might have been worse if I hadn't been taking the pills. I'll never know, but I have no regrets on having my placenta encapsulated and will do it again if we have another baby." - Andrea- first time mom
"I gave birth to our first child in July of 2010, I do have a history of depression and was very concerned I was likely to be susceptible to postpartum depression.  I first heard of placenta encapsulation during our natural childbirth classes.  After doing some research about the positive benefits I decided it would definitely be worth it even if I experienced only a fraction of the possible benefits it would be worth it.  Tamara was recommended by our birth class instructor and Doula.  I was apprehensive about having a stranger in our home during such a fragile time, but Tamara was so kind, quiet and professional.  She has a very loving energy about her and did her work with dignity and precision, having her in our home was not intrusive in the least. It was actually nice to have her there for the short period of time over a few days.  As for the outcome, I did not experience any depression whatsoever, I had only one extreme emotional day but that was the day before I started on the capsules!  My breast-milk flow was perfect, I did not get any breast infections, I felt amazing as a first-time mother, and my now 8 month old has not yet been sick, at all.  To any expecting mother I would say do the research on the history of placenta consumption, and then hire Tamara! I highly recommend Tamara Morales to any mother considering encapsulation.  I would most certainly work with Tamara again if I have more children in the future." - Allison 
"I have a history of depression, so when I became pregnant I was very worried about postpartum depression, probably even more than many first time mothers. So, when I heard about placenta encapsulation I was very interested. I did some research on the topic and the testimonials convinced me that this would be something that I would like to do. Tamara came to prepare the placenta the day after my baby was born. She was so informative and knowledgeable and hearing her own experience with postpartum I knew I had made the right decision. I began taking the capsules after they were ready (three days after birth) and felt really well the first week. I did experience mild sadness and bouts of crying a week after birth, which lasted for two days, just a few minutes each day. Other than that, I felt very well during the weeks after the birth of my baby, even in spite of the difficulties my son and I experienced (within the first three weeks of life, we had horrible trouble breastfeeding, my son had two surgeries on his tongue, and we were diagnosed with thrush. All said, we visited the doctor 17 times in 21 days). These unforeseen difficulties would have caused anyone to feel upset and frustrated – and I was no exception – but these circumstances did not lead me to fall into a depression – which was almost expected by my partner and family. I believe this was because I was taking the placenta pills. I am so thankful that I received the information about placenta encapsulation – as I had never heard of it before. I believe that had I not had the pills I would have experienced a more severe postpartum depression, especially when I take into consideration the difficulties my baby and I experienced in the first weeks after birth. I would absolutely encapsulate my placenta again and look forward to working with Tamara in the future." - First time mom 
"I had postpartum depression with my daughter and it was something I didn't want to deal with again. I came across this in a parenting magazine while doing research on natural ways to treat postpartum. I was a little skeptical (and honestly a little grossed out), but the research was compelling and made sense. Tamara then came to our Bradley Birth Class and my husband and I talked about it again and decided it was a good idea. Tamara was friendly and professional. I would recommend this and her to anyone who asked about it. I only take them as needed, but it really has made a difference." - Hannah, second time mom, previous PPD sufferer
"I heard of placenta encapsulation through my doula, Jackie Belau. She talked about how it helps postpartum adjustments and hormones. I was ready to try anything that would make the postpartum stage more enjoyable. I knew that it would be a stressful time right after the baby was born and if I could find a remedy to help I would be amenable to give it a shot. I emailed Tamara and she promptly responded and put me on her calendar. We called Tamara the day we had our son and she was able to come by and start the encapsulation process. Tamara then came back the following day and finalized the pills. She was professional, very thorough, and took time to answer all of my questions and my husband's. She also gave us some great parenting tips as we are first time parents. Tamara is easy going and friendly and I was happy to have her in my home. I started taking the pills two days post birth and I can say that I felt really great. I do believe it helped regulate my hormones and emotions. The only reason for any of my crying episodes postpartum were due to my challenges breast feeding and sore nipples. I would encapsulate my placenta again with my next child and have already recommended Tamara's services to other pregnant moms I know." - Cathy D. 
"I decided to encapsulate my placentas after hearing about the benefits of doing so from my acupuncturist and friends. The process was very easy and I liked knowing that the precious thing that nurtured my babies for nine months would not be simply discarded with hospital trash, but instead would be used to nourish me as I made milk for my new babies. I truly believe that taking the placenta pills helped prevent me from suffering from postpartum depression and helped me make enough milk for my two little ones. I would definitely recommend placenta encapsulation to all mothers."  - Lisa Nicolls, first time mom to twins
"This was a wonderful experience. My wife, Megan, did not seem to have much if any depression. I would highly recommend this to anyone. Also as a chef, I found it very interesting and appreciated Tamara sharing some of her knowledge with me."  - Megan's Husband
"I decided to encapsulate my placenta because it was recommended by my midwife. I had a lot of bleeding after my daughter's birth and she thought it would be good for me. My experience with the process of encapsulating was great. Tamara was very professional and did a great job. The capsules themselves have been good. It is hard to tell what they have done for me, but when comparing this postpartum with my last I would say I recovered from birth much faster and have had less postpartum depression. I think a lot of factors go into the reason for that and one of them is the capsules. Thank you so much Tamara!"  - Megan, second time mom
"Yes! Absolutely! I would do it again (and plan to) on all future pregnancies. I did not experience any of the baby blues or postpartum depression. I was emotionally stable, except for one day that I forgot to take my placenta pills. My bleeding stopped completely after only 3 weeks, and my milk came in (in abundance) on day 2. Definitely worth the money. It did everything I hoped it would do and more! "  - Jenifer, first time mom
"I learned about encapsulating my placenta from a friend's wife. It made perfect sense when I really thought about how important the placenta is! I needed to learn more so I jumped online and talked around. I quickly stopped calling it "eating my placenta" because people picture a fork & knife. No one knew or understood how valuable it is. I was so happy to know I could save my own "life-maker" to ensure a happy postpartum and lots of milk. I was planning to have my husband drive to San Francisco the day after our baby was born with a cooler filled with placenta. I was sad to know he'd be hours away during a time I'd want him near so bad. However, I knew how valuable encapsulating my placenta would be. Thankfully my husband, who was a willing participant in this, found Tamara online the month our baby was born and she was local!!! I was so happy when he told me. My husband arranged everything, which wasn't difficult and Tamara showed up at our home and did her job. I thought it might be weird to have a stranger in my house right after I had a baby. It wasn't strange at all. Tamara was a nice woman who believes in what she is doing. It is wonderful that we have a way to naturally treat hormonal "conditions" without medication! The cost of encapsulation is worth it because health is priceless.  - Quinn's Mom
"I decided to have my placenta encapsulated because of its benefits: milk production, postpartum healing, possible prevention of postpartum depression, and may be saved for menopause. My experience has overall been good. I wish I had spent some time to see the actual placenta, but I was too busy and tired after the birth of Noelle Sage. I feel that I had a little postpartum depression still, but feel that maybe it is because it is my first child or maybe because I choose to only take two placenta capsules a day opposed to the recommendation. Tamara is very sweet and personable as well as respectful. I'd recommend this to anyone with an open mind and an open heart & I would definitely do this again without a thought." 
- Andreea & Kelly, first time mother & father
"I become interested in the idea after reading an article about it on offbeatmama.com. I found Tamara on Sac Healing Artists and agreed to the encapsulation. After an emergency c-section I started taking the capsules as directed on day three. I was out and about by the second week home from the hospital and felt like I had a very speedy recovery. Will definitely do this again because it really helped balance my hormones and sped up the healing process. I started recommending encapsulation by the second week home!"  - Michelle, first time mom
"I decided to do placenta encapsulation because I had severe depression after the birth of my first son. I wanted to try this because I really didn't want to take antidepressants this time. My daughter is 10 weeks old and I feel great with no signs of the baby blues."  - anonymous 
"I was intrigued by the potential benefits of encapsulation and finally decided to do it approximately one week before I had my daughter. I found Tamara easily online and was impressed immediately. When she responded to me right away I knew she was the one to do it. My experience was fantastic! She was very professional yet personable and gave me great info on encapsulation as well as other amazing parenting tips. I will never forget who amazing my postpartum experience was thanks to this process. I absolutely plan to do this again and recommend the process to everyone. I will definitely recommend Tamara to all my local friends."  - Tiffany, first time mom
"Tamara was really nice and wasn't in the way at all. Things are busy around the house with a newborn & having her here wasn't bad at all. Thanks so much Tamara!"  - First Time Mom
"The fee we paid for Tamara to encapsulate our placenta was worth every penny and so much cheaper then the thousands for therapy and antidepressants we had to spend out of pocket after the birth of our second child." - Leslie
"Very pleased with the services." - Second Time Mom
"After our first child my wife got postpartum depression pretty bad, so that pretty much guaranteed that we were not going to have any more kids.  When we found out that there was a #2 on the way, she started to look for things that would help with postpartum.  She found out about placenta encapsulation and asked me if we should do it, after reading up on it, it made perfect sense on why and how it should work.  Thankfully it worked and we had a great experience with this birth. - Happy Husband
"The entire process and my postpartum period were great! I have two other children, but this was the first time I have encapsulated my placenta for ingestion. The benefits were undeniable! Now I wish I had encapsulated after my previous births since the difference really stood out to both me & my family. - Josie
"It was great and I really enjoyed Tamara and all the information she shared with me." - Mom to Three Boys
"The whole procedure was so easy! My husband met Tamara in the parking lot of the hospital on day two and handed the placenta off. He said she was very nice ;). We then received the pills and tonic in a few days in the mail- easy!!! I wanted to do this because I've been prone to depression in the past. I didn't even have the baby blues and have only barely shed a tear two or three times (from lack of sleep) in the last three months. So far so good! I haven't tried the tonic yet but I'm really interested in its capabilities, especially in benefiting baby ;). I'm going to use it when I return to work. I will definitely do this again! " - Andie- first time mom/dad
"I'm beyond pleased with the everlasting positive effects the placenta capsules have. I'm happy I decided to go with Tamara's services . My recovery has been almost non existent . I felt like my moods were better, my milk supply was at least doubled from my first pregnancy. I can't say enough positive things about it. I'm only sad that one day I will no longer have pills to take. The whole process from the beginning until the end was pretty easy. The communication and Instructions were extremely easy to go by. I most defensively would recommend this 120%." - Stacie
"I had always been curious and interested in placenta encapsulation and once I got pregnant I knew I wanted to give it a try. A friend of mine recommended Tamara and said that placenta pills made all the difference in the world with her most recent pregnancy-she had three kids and only took PP's with her last child. I don't have anything to compare my experience to because I only have one child but I know that I wouldn't do it any other way. I haven't experienced any depression, my energy level is relatively high and my physical recovery has been quick and relatively painless. I highly recommend placenta encapsulation to anyone who is about to give birth and I very highly recommend Tamara's services to anyone in the greater Sacramento area. Thank you Tamara!!!" - Lyndsay first time mama
​"Thank you for checking in. This babymoon has been so different than the last. My milk supply came quickly and was very full. I've been enjoying my boys and feel the combination of vbac and capsules have really made the difference. The holidays have been more enjoyable since I'm not stressing about feeding little man or my emotional state. Thank you for helping with that. Happy New Year!" - S.
"I am extremely pleased with your entire service!  Everything went so quickly and smoothly at the hospital and in delivery of your package!  Also, I am so pleased with the quality of the product and packaging of the pills, tincture, and heart! Many of my friends have made fun of my decision to use the placenta and have been fairly disgusted but is has been nothing but positive for me! A few of those friends have recently given birth as well and have been struggling with postpartum.  I can't say that i have had to struggle with anything.  They aren't looking at me so funny any more!  I took medication with my last pregnancy and have not experienced any need or feelings to be concerned with.  This time around has been night and day.  I do believe this has helped me and hopefully you will hear from me again in the next year :) Thank you so much." - Happy PlacentaMom Client

"I was always fearful of postpartum depression and that is why I decided to have my placenta encapsulated and I was VERY glad that I made that decision. I feel more like myself when I take the capsules and I can feel a relaxing feeling come over my body. Not a lot stresses me out and I feel calm about the baby as well. I will encapsulated my placenta for all births and Tamara is very responsive and quick to help you out. I even had questions about the tincture and she was quick to respond. Also, my husband text Tamara when I delivered and she was at the hospital within a few hours post delivery to pick up placenta and I had it within 2 days in the mail ready for me in professional packaging with lots of information." - Sacramento Mom
"My placenta encapsulation experience has been AH-mazing and I would highly recommend it to ALL new (pregnant) mothers considering it. Tamara was wonderful to work with, she made the process so easy and worry free. Taking my placenta pills has definitely helped me, I think I would have gone "postpartum postal" without them. I wish I had my placenta encapsulated when my two year old was born. Thank you Placenta Mom." - All the BEST, SJ
"Throughout high school I struggled with depression, especially during times of great change. So when I became pregnant, I began looking for ways that would help stave off post partum depression without antidepressants. I wanted anything that would make my transition to mother easier, so that I could be sure I was there for my son. After a lot of searching, I came across placenta encapsulation, and while a little hesitant, I began to research it.  I researched right up until my 8th month of pregnancy - I really cut it close. And decided that while a lot of women encapsulate their own, I was too nervous of not doing it correctly. And that's when I found Tamara Morales' website. Her website proved to be extremely helpful, full of information and reassurance that this was the right route to go. She's wonderful to communicate with and extremely caring about her clients. I would recommend her to any of my friends considering placenta encapsulation, and plan on coming back for my second child. :) I truly believe my placenta pills made a difference, as my first few days at home were extremely difficult emotion wise. But nearly the next day after taking the pills I felt so much better. And I still attribute them to my abundant milk supply.  Placenta encapsulation helped my sanity in a lot of ways, and I'm very happy I put my trust in Tamara during this important time in my life. 
Thank you." - Mika, new mom to Dean
"I'm so thankful I decided to encapsulate my placenta. With my first born son I suffered majorly from PPD and it was horrible. I never thought I was going to be the same. I went through so many medications and I saw myself turn into someone I didn't know, as I'm a very bubbly person. I told myself if I ever had another I'd do everything possible to not have that happen. Now that my second is born it has been nothing but wonderful! I haven't had any sad days what so ever. My OBGYN thought I was nuts but was shocked to see that these actually work and that now he will tell his patients in the future to do this if they suffer. I'm so grateful I have been able to be happy and be there for my kids instead of hiding in the dark like I did with my first. Thank You so much!" - Elizabeth, Mom to Christopher and Jenni
"I was very happy with my experience with Tamara. My baby was over a week late and she was flexible and fast for the pickup of my placenta. I got to go home from the hospital after 24 hrs, and my pills arrived the very next day. They helped me heal and recover faster than I did with my first baby. My energy levels were better, and my milk came in faster. I would definitely use Tamara again, and I will be recommending her to any friends who are interested in encapsulation!" - Carrie, Mama of 2 under 2 
"I had a great experience with encapsulating my placenta. As a first time mom I don't have anything to compare my recovery experience to, however, I had a very smooth transition from prenatal to postpartum and I attribute some of that success to my decision to have this service done. I would definitely have this done again in the future and recommend it to anyone researching the benefits!" - Jaimie, first time mom
"My friend recommended Tamara and it was a great experience. She responded fast to my emails and text. Provided all the info and questions one might have. She picked up our placenta the same day and I received my capsules and tincture that same week! Highly recommend and have referred several other mommies already. Thanks Tamara!" - Jackson's Mom
"I used Tamara's services after the birth of both of my babies. She makes it simple, easy and hassle free by picking up the placenta from the hospital and mailing the pills to your home within a couple days. Here instructions are clear and easy to follow. I started taking the pills immediately and continued until they were gone approximately 8 weeks later. I believe the placenta pills made the postpartum period go smoothly, as I was not horribly run down and never experienced baby blues or postpartum depression. I highly recommend Tamara!" - Second Time Mom
"I have struggled with anxiety and depression in the past and was really worried about my predisposition to experiencing postpartum depression with my first baby. Having experienced depression, I couldn't imagine dealing with those feelings while trying to care for my new baby. I had heard about encapsulation and did a lot of research. I was willing to do anything to help keep me healthy both mentally and physically and was so happy when I found Placenta Mom was in the Roseville area. It has been 6 weeks since I had my baby girl. And I can honestly say that I have not experienced any postpartum depression symptoms! I have felt stable, and positive, and happy for the last 6 weeks and I fully attribute that to taking the pills. Friends of mine were shocked at how upbeat and happy I have been, even with 2 hours of sleep a night. Friends who had babies around the same time had huge emotional swings and felt very hormonal- I never felt any of that. In fact, a friend of mine who suffered with postpartum for the first 6 weeks with her first baby is pregnant again and she has already contacted someone in her area for encapsulation based on the difference she has seen in my experience. I was up and doing walks within a week of having my daughter. I feel like I healed faster than friends I had and my milk came in faster. I will absolutely be using Placenta Mom again- she made it so easy, convenient and the pills were delivered to my house within a few days. I was so excited to start taking them! I have enjoyed everyday with my little baby girl- for anyone who has experienced depression, you will understand what a blessing it is to be able to say that. I am so happy I decided to encapsulate. Thank you Placenta Mom for being my partner!" - Saryne, first time mom 
"In November 2015 I delivered my 5th baby, however this time it was a little different... It was my 1st time as a Surrogate! Everything about this pregnancy was different. I was extremely sick from all the hormones I was being pumped with from the IVF cycle. Around 26 weeks I looked into encapsulating my placenta thinking the postpartum may be rough also. I had agreed to nurse and pump as long as my body would allow so I was interested in the good affects it had on milk production. At 41 weeks I delivered a healthy 8lb 4oz baby girl!!!! I contacted Tamara the next morning and she picked up my placenta within 20 hours of birth! She was absolutely amazing and I had my pills back 2 days later. I was SOOOOOO thankful for them, I went from a ball of emotions to a normal human being within a day of use! I took them for a good month and just recently started taking them again during my weaning process! For any mommas out there thinking about encapsulating I highly, highly recommend it! Thank you Tamara for all that you do!" - Jenae
"I found Tamara through our doula and can thank her enough for the service she provided. The process was seamless and Tamara was great a waiting for the late arrival of our daughter. I will definitely be using her services again as I experienced no postpartum depression and felt an increase in energy overall." - Antoinette, first time mom​ 
"I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience with Tamara! From the very beginning she was great at getting back to any texts, emails, questions, etc... Came to our home the very next day to pick up placenta. Pills then arrived in the mail two days later! Was very impressed with the quick service. I'd tell anyone to try it!" - Alisyn
"I had my baby 4 weeks ago and my emotional recovery is going very well. My baby and I are happy and bonding. My milk supply is pretty good. This is my first baby and I can't compare with other experiences but overall I'm happy with my choice. Tamara was always professional and I would definitely recommend her services." - Anonymous, first time mom
"After my sister in law raved about how much of a difference she felt taking her placenta pills, I decided I wanted to do it as well. After all, what could it hurt right? I absolutely LOVED it and recommend it to every expecting mommy!! I'm a pretty emotional person and without these I really think I would have struggled with feeling overwhelmed, but after taking them for one day I felt a huge difference. It helped my milk production, kept my hormones from going crazy, gave me energy; it was amazing. They are absolutely magical. They lasted me 3.5 months and I'm really looking forward to trying the tincture. Tamara was wonderful as well, very professional, knowledgeable and I got my pills crazy fast! She was even nice enough to come get the placenta from our house when we ran into difficulties dropping it off! If you are even slightly interested in doing this, just DO IT, seriously, you won't regret it! I'm looking forward to going to Tamara with all my future pregnancies as well!" - Danae, first time mom
"This was baby #5, delivery #4 for me. I have always struggled with postpartum depression and low milk supply. I had heard about placenta encapsulation and the possible benefits. I talked to my doctor about it and we both agreed it couldn't hurt to try it. I am now 4 weeks postpartum and have never felt better! I have not had any postpartum depression, my milk supply is better than its ever been and I am overall having a much better postpartum experience! I would recommend this to everyone and I would absolutely do this again!" - Mom of 5
"I feel like the capsules helped with my mood and energy, I was not nearly as weepy or sleepy as I was with my first child. The product itself was beautiful. It came in a timely manner. It was a delight working with Tamara." - Jaycie, mother of two
"Thank you PlacentaMom...you made the whole process so easy. I feel so amazing after this last pregnancy. My prior birth and postnatal experience was a little like a roller coaster. I was weepy and stressed. But this time with your help, I feel energetic and overall happy. Even though I had a c-section, my recovery has been amazing. Thank you again for what you do!" - Happy Sacramento PlacentaMom Client
"I am so grateful for my capsules and tincture! I wasn't too sure about how the placenta pills would work, but they have absolutely helped my emotional and physical well being! I didn't have my daughter's placenta encapsulated until she was 6 months old. The pills have helped me tremendously with my breast milk supply, have increased my energy and have brought me a sense of calm that I wasn't experiencing before taking them. Thank you so much!!" - Nona
