Here is what it offers, what it costs, how pickup and preparation work, and what to ask first.
Your Body Your Birth Your Baby is an eSEOspace client: we work on its website. This guide uses the company's own published information, checked on 22 October 2026, and every source is listed at the end. We don't rate or score our clients. Prices and policies change, so confirm them on yourbodyyourbirthyourbaby.com before you book. This guide is not medical advice; talk to a licensed clinician (your OB, midwife or doctor) before deciding whether to consume your placenta.
The short answer
Your Body Your Birth Your Baby is a placenta encapsulation service in South Florida, founded in 2016 by Fabiane Noelia Lagos, who describes herself as a certified Placenta Encapsulation Specialist and a former birth and postpartum doula. After you give birth, the service collects your placenta from the place of birth (for local clients), prepares it by the steam-and-dehydrate method it calls TCM, and delivers capsules to your home, usually within 5 to 7 business days. It also makes raw "placenta cubes" for smoothies, tinctures, placenta prints and umbilical cord keepsakes. Its pricing page lists encapsulation at $300 for local Treasure Coast residents and says it ships nationwide. Contact is by phone or text at 305-307-6367 or by email.

What is Your Body Your Birth Your Baby?
Your Body Your Birth Your Baby is a small, owner-run placenta preparation service based in South Florida. Placenta encapsulation means taking the placenta after birth, cleaning and drying it, grinding it into powder and putting that powder into capsules that the birthing parent can take during the postpartum weeks. Some families choose it for personal or cultural reasons; others are simply curious. The service does the preparation for you so you don't have to handle the placenta yourself.
The business offers several ways to prepare a placenta, not only capsules:
- Encapsulation: the placenta is steamed, dehydrated, powdered and capsuled. The site calls this its most popular option.
- Raw cubes: the cleaned placenta is frozen in ice-tray molds and used one cube at a time in a fruit smoothie or shake.
- Tincture: placenta powder steeped in alcohol for up to six weeks.
- Keepsakes: placenta prints on watercolor paper and dried umbilical cord keepsakes shaped into letters, shapes or words.
It is a private service business, not a medical practice, hospital, pharmacy or birth center. It does not diagnose or treat anything. Whether to consume your placenta is a personal decision that you should talk through with your own clinician.
The website is short: a home page, an About page, a section on placenta encapsulation (with Benefits and Process pages), a services section (Ways to Enjoy and Pricing), an FAQ page, a contact page and a privacy policy. A Spanish (Español) option on the site uses Google Translate. The company also links to Facebook and Instagram pages under @yourbodyyourbirthyourbaby.
Who owns and runs Your Body Your Birth Your Baby?
The site names one person: Fabiane Noelia Lagos, described as the "Founder, Owner and Operator." The contact page lists her name next to the business phone and email, so you are dealing directly with the owner.
According to the About page, her path into birth work went like this:
- 2015: began working as a certified birth and postpartum doula and breastfeeding counselor.
- Shortly after: became a birth assistant, working alongside midwives at home births and birth center births.
- Later: became a certified Placenta Encapsulation Specialist and received Bloodborne Pathogens and OSHA Safe Food Handling certifications.
- 2016: founded YB3 Doula Services and Your Body Your Birth Your Baby, and began offering placenta encapsulation in Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach and Port St. Lucie.
The About page also says she is fluent in English and Spanish and "has a background in nursing, midwifery and psychology." The site does not say she holds a nursing or midwifery license, and it does not name the organizations that issued her doula, encapsulation or safety certifications. If those details matter to you, ask her which programs she trained with and when she last renewed.
No other staff are named. Based on the site, it appears to be a one-person operation, so you'll likely speak with, and have your placenta prepared by, the same person.
Is Your Body Your Birth Your Baby legit?
The site does not refer to a state license for the encapsulation service itself. Here is what you can check from the published information:
- A named owner with a stated history. The site names the founder and gives a timeline back to 2015 in birth work and 2016 for the business.
- Direct contact details. A mobile number (305-307-6367, call or text) and an email address are published on the contact page and in the privacy policy.
- Published prices. A pricing page lists each service with a dollar amount, so you can compare before you call.
- A written process. The site lays out its ten-step preparation method, including temperatures and times, and its cleaning practices.
- A privacy policy. Dated 6 October 2026, it says the site sells no personal information and runs no analytics, advertising or social media tracking.
- Social profiles. Facebook and Instagram pages are linked from every page.
What the site does not publish: a street address, business hours, client reviews or ratings, or the names of the bodies behind the founder's certifications. We tried to look up the business in Florida's public business registry but the search was not available to us, so we have not reported a registration. A reasonable step before you book is to ask for references from recent clients and for copies of the certifications.
Services, one by one
Each service below is described from the company's Ways to Enjoy, Our Services and Pricing pages. Prices are from the Pricing page for local Treasure Coast residents.
| Service | What you get | Published price |
|---|---|---|
| Placenta encapsulation | Capsules made by steaming, dehydrating and powdering the placenta; delivered to your home in a sealed, labeled glass bottle | $300 (includes encapsulation and home delivery) |
| Placenta cubes | Raw (not steamed or dried) placenta frozen in ice-tray molds, plus one smoothie delivered in a glass bottle | $80 (includes 1 smoothie) |
| Placenta smoothie | A single raw-cube smoothie added to an encapsulation order, for while you wait for capsules | $15 |
| Placenta tincture | Placenta powder steeped in alcohol for up to six weeks | $75 (add-on to encapsulation only) |
| Placenta print, natural | A print made with the placenta's own blood on organic watercolor paper | $20 |
| Placenta print, colorful | A print made with organic, nontoxic food coloring, washed off before encapsulating | $30 |
| Umbilical cord keepsake | The dried cord shaped into letters, shapes or words, and optionally painted | Not published |
Encapsulation is the core service. The FAQ says the number of capsules depends on the size of the placenta, and that a placenta "may yield 75 to 200 pills" on average. Capsules are vegetarian and kosher, with no gelatin. The FAQ suggests keeping capsules in a cool, dark place, preferably the fridge. It also gives a suggested schedule for taking them and situations in which to pause; ask your clinician about those before you follow them.
Cubes are offered for people who have trouble swallowing capsules. The placenta is cleaned and poured into ice-tray molds, frozen, and used one cube per day in a fruit smoothie or shake. The site says you won't taste the placenta. Because cubes are raw, they skip the steaming and drying used for capsules. One complimentary smoothie comes with the cubes in the company's "signature glass bottles."
The smoothie add-on lets an encapsulation client receive a single raw-cube smoothie right away, while the capsules are still being made.
Tincture is made from placenta powder steeped in alcohol for up to six weeks. The site describes it as intended for long-term use and says it lasts far longer than capsules. It is sold only as an add-on to encapsulation. Because it contains alcohol, ask your clinician whether it is suitable for you, especially if you are breastfeeding.
Placenta prints are a keepsake the site calls "your baby's first home." The natural print uses the placenta's blood on organic watercolor paper. The colorful version uses organic, nontoxic food coloring, which the site says is washed off before the placenta is encapsulated, so you can have a print and capsules from the same placenta.
Umbilical cord keepsakes are made from the baby's dehydrated cord, which can be shaped into letters, shapes or words and painted in different colors. The process page says the cord is cut and set aside as a keepsake gift during preparation. A price for shaped or painted cord keepsakes is not published, so ask when you book.
How the placenta is prepared, step by step
The company says it uses what it calls the TCM (Traditional Chinese Method) of encapsulation: steaming, dehydrating and pulverizing. Its Process page lists ten steps:
- Rinse. The placenta is placed in a stainless steel strainer and rinsed clear of meconium and blood clots. The umbilical cord is cut and set aside as a keepsake.
- Bag. The placenta goes into a steamer bag, so it never touches the steamer itself.
- Add lemon, ginger and cayenne. Fresh-squeezed lemon, ginger and cayenne pepper are added before steaming.
- Steam. The placenta is steamed for 30 minutes at 230 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Slice. It is moved onto a one-time-use cutting board and sliced into strips.
- Dehydrate. The strips are dried in a dehydrator for 18 hours at 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Powder. The dry, hard strips are ground into powder in a pulverizer.
- Fill capsules. The powder is poured into empty capsules until it is all used.
- Bottle. The capsules go into a glass bottle, which is safety-sealed, labeled and bagged.
- Clean up. One-time-use equipment goes into biohazard bins, and the workspace and machines are cleaned with hospital-grade cleaning solutions.
Adding the steaming and the 18-hour drying time, plus collection and delivery, explains the stated turnaround of 5 to 7 business days. The raw cube option skips steps 3 to 8.
If you prefer a placenta prepared without the lemon, ginger and cayenne, or want to know whether a raw (unsteamed) capsule option is available, ask; the site describes only the steamed method for capsules.
How much does Your Body Your Birth Your Baby cost?
These are the prices on the dedicated Pricing page, labeled "for local Florida Treasure Coast residents," as checked on 22 October 2026.
| Item | Published price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Placenta encapsulation | $300.00 | Includes encapsulation and delivery to your home |
| Placenta tincture | $75.00 | Add-on to encapsulation only |
| Placenta cubes | $80.00 | Includes 1 smoothie |
| Placenta smoothie | $15.00 | Single smoothie added to encapsulation |
| Placenta print (natural, blood) | $20.00 | |
| Placenta print (colorful) | $30.00 | |
| Umbilical cord keepsake | Not published | Ask when booking |
| Shipped (non-local) orders | Not published | "Please email us to determine accurate pricing based on location" |
Worked example. A local client who wants capsules, a tincture and a natural print would pay $300 + $75 + $20 = $395 at the published prices. Adding a smoothie to have while waiting for the capsules brings it to $410.
Other pages on the site list lower figures for some of the same items under a "South Florida residents" heading. Prices can change, so confirm the current price for your exact location before you book.
What's not published: deposit or booking fees, payment methods, a refund or cancellation policy, and what happens to the fee if your placenta can't be released or processed. Ask about all of these up front.
Insurance: the site does not mention insurance, so plan on paying directly unless the company tells you otherwise. If you plan to use an HSA or FSA, ask your plan administrator whether it qualifies, since the company does not say.
Where it works: local pickup and shipping
The business does not publish a street address or storefront; it is a pickup-and-delivery service. Its pages describe the local area in slightly different ways:
- The About page says the founder has served clients "all throughout Miami Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, and Port St. Lucie Counties."
- The Pricing page labels its prices "for local Florida Treasure Coast residents."
- The FAQ says Treasure Coast residents get pickup from the place of birth, and that South Florida residents can call or text 24/7 after delivery for pickup.
If you're anywhere in South Florida or on the Treasure Coast, call or text to confirm that pickup covers your hospital, birth center or home, and what it costs.
Outside the local area: the Pricing page says "Nationwide shipping available!" According to the FAQ, clients in other locations receive a prepaid shipping kit with instructions on how to ship the placenta safely, and non-local clients get collection guidelines by email. Pricing for shipped orders is quoted by email based on location.
Language: the founder speaks English and Spanish, and the site offers a Spanish translation option.
What happens from booking to delivery
The site doesn't publish a single booking flow, but its FAQ and service pages describe these stages:
- Get in touch during pregnancy. The FAQ says to "send us an email, call or text to get started." There is also a contact form asking for your name, phone number, email address and a message.
- Agree on services and price. Choose capsules, cubes, tincture or keepsakes. Shipped clients get a price by email.
- Plan for the birth. Tell your hospital or birth center that you plan to keep your placenta (see the next section). Shipped clients receive a prepaid kit and instructions.
- After the baby is born, local clients call or text (the FAQ says 24/7) and the placenta is picked up from the place of birth. Non-local clients follow the emailed collection guidelines and ship it.
- Preparation. The placenta is processed by the ten-step method above, one placenta at a time.
- Delivery. The FAQ says capsules are ready for delivery in 5 to 7 business days. Local encapsulation pricing includes delivery to your home. If you ordered a smoothie add-on or cubes, a smoothie arrives in a glass bottle.
If your placenta was frozen: the FAQ says a placenta can still be used up to one year postpartum as long as it was handled and stored safely, including being chilled or frozen within one hour of birth.
Getting your placenta released at the hospital or birth center
The FAQ gives practical tips for the birth itself:
- If the placenta is sent to pathology. The site says a placenta is sometimes taken for further examination, and that this is fine as long as staff know you plan to keep it. It advises asking staff to label the container to say you are keeping it, so no chemicals are added, and watching them do so before the placenta leaves the room.
- If the baby is born early. The FAQ notes babies are considered full term from 37 weeks. If your baby is born earlier, the placenta may need to be examined further, and the site says you may have a slightly smaller placenta, but that you can still encapsulate.
- Delayed cord clamping and cord blood banking. The FAQ says neither prevents encapsulation.
Hospital and birth center policies on releasing placentas differ. Ask your birth place ahead of time what paperwork it requires and how the placenta should be stored until pickup, and add your plan to your birth plan.
Who can and can't use the service
The FAQ answers a list of "can I still encapsulate if..." questions. In the company's words, the answer is "Yes" for people who:
- had a C-section (cesarean)
- were induced
- had an epidural or IV pain medication during labor
- had a water birth
- chose delayed cord clamping or cord blood banking
- gave birth before 37 weeks
- are vegetarian or vegan (the capsules contain no gelatin)
The company says it will not encapsulate if you are HIV positive or have AIDS, or Hepatitis A, B or C.
The FAQ also addresses situations such as a positive GBS (group B strep) test and meconium in the amniotic fluid. Those are medical questions, so we don't repeat the company's answers here. If any infection, test result or complication came up during your pregnancy or birth, talk to your OB, midwife or your baby's doctor before you decide.
Handling and hygiene practices
The company describes these practices on its home page, Process page and FAQ:
- One placenta at a time. The site says it processes only one placenta at a time to avoid cross-contamination, which is also its answer to "How do I know I am getting back MY placenta?"
- Single-use materials. It says all materials are one-time use. The only reusable equipment is the steamer, dehydrator, pulverizer and capsule maker.
- Cleaning. Reusable equipment and the workspace are cleaned after each use with what the site calls hospital-grade or medical-grade products. Single-use items go into biohazard bins.
- Steamer bag. The placenta is steamed inside a bag so it never touches the steamer.
- Training. The founder's stated Bloodborne Pathogens and OSHA Safe Food Handling certifications.
- Sealed packaging. Capsules are delivered in a safety-sealed, labeled glass bottle.
Good questions to ask about any encapsulator: where the preparation takes place, how placentas are labeled and stored while waiting, how long the placenta sits before processing, and how they confirm identity at pickup.
What the site says about benefits
The site has a Benefits page and a "Nutrients and Hormones" list, and its service pages list effects that it says clients ("our momma's") have reported after capsules, cubes or tincture. Those are health claims. This guide doesn't repeat or assess them, and you shouldn't rely on a provider's marketing, or on this guide, to decide whether placenta consumption is right for you.
If you're considering it, bring it up at a prenatal visit. Ask your OB or midwife whether it is appropriate given your health history, any infections or test results, any medications you take, and whether you plan to breastfeed. This guide is not medical advice.
Doula services
The About page says the founder started YB3 Doula Services in 2016, alongside the encapsulation business. The site's Doula page shows "YB3 Doula Services: Website Coming Soon," and it does not list doula packages, prices or availability. If you are looking for a birth or postpartum doula as well as encapsulation, call or text to ask whether doula support is currently offered.
How it compares with other options
Families who want to keep their placenta usually choose between a few broad options. This table compares them in general terms, using the published details for Your Body Your Birth Your Baby.
| Option | Who handles the placenta | Pickup and timing | Things to weigh |
|---|---|---|---|
| Your Body Your Birth Your Baby | The founder, one placenta at a time | Local pickup from place of birth; capsules in 5 to 7 business days; shipping kit for non-local clients | Published price list ($300 local encapsulation); several preparation types and keepsakes; no published refund policy or reviews |
| Another local independent encapsulator | Usually one person, sometimes in the client's home | Varies; some prepare in your kitchen | Methods, training, prices and policies vary widely; compare process and hygiene details |
| A national mail-in service | A central facility | You ship the placenta; return by mail | Wider reach; shipping time and cold-chain handling to consider; less personal contact |
| A doula who also encapsulates | Your doula | Often arranged as part of a birth package | Convenient if you already have a doula; check their encapsulation-specific training |
| Doing it yourself | You or your family | Your own schedule | No fee, but you need equipment, time and safe-handling knowledge right after birth |
| Keepsakes only, or no preparation | Hospital or birth center handles disposal; or a keepsake maker | None | For families who want a print or cord keepsake without consuming the placenta |
