Placenta Encapsulation Testimonials

I absolutely love hearing feedback from my BirthBalm clients on their experience of having their placenta encapsulated.

Have a read of these testimonials, from new mums in their own words, of how they feel the placenta pills and placenta tincture were a benefit to them in their emotional and physical recovery following the birth of their baby.

We can't recommend Louise highly enough. We chose private sessions, and with our tight availability she was wonderfully flexible, fitting us in at times that worked for us. The information and techniques Louise taught us were crucial to how well Arthur's birth went. Her vast experience as a midwife really showed. She introduced us to every stage of labour and gently prepared us for whatever we might face, so nothing felt frightening or unexpected. Her sessions left us feeling confident and ready. During labour, my partner stayed calm and in control, trusting her body the whole way through. The breathing techniques in particular carried her through the pain without medication. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Louise, for supporting us through such an important moment for our family and giving us the best possible chance at an amazing birth experience.

Louise provided us with all of the tools we needed to have calm and positive births with both of our children. Despite our daughter's birth not going to plan, I felt in control at all times due to the guidance we were given in our first set of hypnobirthing sessions. When it came to the refresher course, it was fantastic to catch up with Louise and she instilled confidence in both myself and my partner that we would go on to have another positive birth experience, regardless of what might happen. Throughout my labour with our son, I felt relaxed and, again, in control. We were able to have my dream birth - a pool birth - and were able to return home within a few hours of our son arriving due to the straight forward nature of his birth. I believe this was because of the hypnobirthing techniques that Louise equipped us both with. Thank you so much!

Before meeting Louise I was incredibly anxious about birth and worried on a daily basis. After speaking to Louise at Sunday brunch club I went home to my husband and said I really wanted to do her hypnobirthing course as I instantly trusted her when she said she thought she could help. We signed up for a course the next month and both agree it was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. After only one class I was already feeling more positive about birth and by the end of the course I had a completely different mindset about approaching birth which made the second half of my pregnancy much more relaxing. Whilst my birth wasn’t the “ideal” birth I’d hoped for, despite various interventions along the way I felt calm and in control and both me and my husband said on the drive home from the hospital we were so pleased we did Louise’s course and learned all the calming techniques as without it we think it would’ve been a much more traumatic experience. I could not recommend Louise enough and anyone in the area considering hypnobirthing I would say do it - you won’t regret it!

Louise has been so attentive from start to finish. Always reachable for any questions. I went for the 50/50 placenta pills. Such a seamless process. Louise provided me with all the Instructions and package for my placenta, she kindly collected my placenta from Milton Keynes’s hospital and were ready for express delivery once I was home from my c section. Wonderful experience would highly recommend to all ladies wishing to utilise the organ our body magically creates for our babies to restore what may have been lost.

I picked up my placenta freezer and Louise was so friendly and informative. We had an emergency c section the next day and the communication was brilliant and Louise picked up our placenta within 30 minutes of us messaging. My tablets arrived two working days later and I’ve started them straight away. I went for the 50/50 mix. I would highly recommend Louise and this service it’s been so easy, fast and efficient.

I couldn’t recommend Louise enough! Having always been very nervous/scared around the idea of birth, I knew I needed to put the time and practice into switching my mindset. Louise really stood out to me when researching for a hypnobirthing instructor/course due to her vast experience and previous career as a midwife. I felt a small group situation would be right for me, and Louise provided a calm, safe space where she led us through each stage, sharing different practices we could use to have a positive birth. The sessions were engaging and she encouraged questions from myself and my partner, as well as the other couples in the session. The 1:1 recap I had at 37 weeks was the perfect check in opportunity as I came closer to my due date where I could ask any ‘last minute’ questions or seek some much needed reassurance. (Louise had also said, reach out at any time if there were any questions - so you didn’t have to wait for a session). I couldn’t be happier with my birth - it was everything I wanted. I had my baby girl at 38 weeks, at home in the birth pool and It was the calmest experience. I tuned into my body, leaning into the affirmation ‘my body and baby know what they are doing’ and I focused on my breathing throughout, so much so I completely forgot about any pain relief that was available to me. Getting into the water at around 8cm was the ultimate relief and I felt like my body floated and knew this was the final step before I got to meet my baby. Louise’s knowledge and support were invaluable to my partner and I, and we can’t thank you enough for enabling us to have such a positive birth experience.

I wanted to have my placenta made into pills after a tough recovery in my last pregnancy. Louise was great throughout, kept us well informed of what to do, quickly responsive to any questions we had and was on hand throughout my labour/delivery to collect the placenta quickly. Pills were ready the next day too which is a bonus, I’ve definitely noticed a difference in my mental health and recovery this time round, highly recommend! Thank you Louise xxx

I cannot recommend Louise Balm enough for Hypnobirthing. Despite being induced, Louise provided the skills and breathing techniques that allowed me to have the most positive experience. She was also incredibly helpful to my husband And how he could assist me during birth We opted for 1:1 Sessions which were honestly incredible. Thank you so much Louise!

I had my placenta collected and made into capsules by Louisa. The whole process was really straight foward and communication with her pre and post delivery was really smooth. She supplies all the kit required to collect the placenta safely which is really helpful too. I had a C-Section and couldn't see my placenta and my partner was too busy jumping around of excitement for our baby boy, just wish I could've seen it before the process.

We honestly can’t imagine going through pregnancy without Louise’s support and guidance. From the very beginning, she gave us such a positive and empowering experience through hypnobirthing, helping us both feel calm, informed, and excited for birth. Thanks to her, we’ve learnt so much and have really bonded as a couple throughout the process. Louise is incredibly warm, kind, and supportive, and her knowledge is amazing. You can really tell she was an experienced midwife — she explains everything so clearly and makes you feel completely reassured and confident. Every session left us feeling more prepared and empowered. We’re so grateful for everything she’s taught us and would recommend her to anyone expecting a baby. She has made such a positive difference to our pregnancy journey, and honestly, we can’t believe people go through pregnancy and birth without a Louise by their side! Thank you Louise!

I did the hypnobirthing course with Louise in Nov 2025 and I couldn’t recommend it enough. The course helped me calm my nerves and anxiety about the whole giving birth process and empowered me with knowledge and confidence to advocate for myself. My partner participated in the course as well and it gave him so much knowledge about the whole labour and birth process, helping him better understand the physiology of birth and everything involved. We would highly recommend Louise to anyone looking to gain confidence and calm their nerves in preparation for labour and birth.

Had a wonderful experience collecting and using my placenta capsules with birthbalm! And would recommend to any pregnant ladies thinking of doing the same. The first few weeks with my little boy were the most precious happy times I have ever had and these capsules definitely aided with my hormones during this time!

Louise has been incredibly helpful during my pregnancy with the 1-1 antenatal session both my partner and I attended and the placenta encapsulation has been great, so seamless and convenient. Not to mention the energy I’ve had taking the capsules and being told consistently how well I look, despite the sleepless nights. Would highly recommend to anyone interested to support you postnatally!

I found the lovely Louise on Instagram after researching the benefits of placenta encapsulation. I wanted to make sure both myself and my baby received all the goodness we needed in those early days. This is my third baby, and I would certainly choose to do this again (even though I’m not planning any more!). Louise was extremely professional and informative throughout. My son was born at 06:30 after a very long and traumatic labour, and we placed the placenta exactly as Louise instructed. She collected it at 07:45, and I received my placenta capsules the very next day. I also had a placenta tincture made, which was ready in September, and I chose to have my placenta turned into a homeopathic remedy for both myself and my baby, which was created by a separate specialist. I genuinely feel this supported my recovery 100%. I felt energised—especially important with two other children running around—and I noticed a real difference compared to my previous postpartum experiences. I couldn’t recommend Louise enough.Thank you Louise. Highly recommend.

We had a fantastic experience with Louise. The classes were super helpful in helping us prepare for birth. We have learnt brilliant strategies and tactics to support us for all eventualities. It was a lovely opportunity to spend time as a couple slowing down from everyday life and focusing on this special time together. Louise was friendly, accommodating and made us feel relaxed and created a safe space to discuss our anxieties and excitement. What is brilliant is that she is a trained midwife so able to educate us with that professional experience weaved in also.

The process is really simple and Louise will literally sort everything making the process easy and stress free. She will provide all of the kit for you with clear instructions for the hospital staff and birthing partners. The tablets have arrived at my home really quickly and I'm excited to get started. Would recommend to others 😊

I couldn’t be happier and would recommend Louise to anyone. I decided to encapsulate my placenta in capsules and tincture form. I had a home birth and Louise came the same day to collect the placenta, and just two days later she dropped the ready product back to me. I am still shocked at how quickly she was able to do it and provide me with the benefits! Thank you once again ☺️

Thank you so much Louise for our refresher session today! Out of everything that I’ve got going on, I feel more prepared and ready to meet my baby over anything else and you have been such a huge part of making that possible so THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR EVERYTHING X x

I’ve had my placenta encapsulated twice now, and couldn’t recommed it highly enough!

Louise is fantastic and her service so professional and easy!

Emma James

I have used Louise – BirthBalm to encapsulate all three of my children’s placentas…

…and have found the service and products produced completely and utterly fantastic. Nothing is too much for Louise she is very on the ball when it comes to contacting her about the birth collection and delivery of the placenta tablets. I personally have found the product that she produces to be very effective hence why using her and her products on all three instances.

Victoria Felgate

I’m currently on day 12 of taking the placenta pills.

I have to say I feel amazing despite the tiredness!

I feel they have helped me feel more balanced and present after giving birth. With experiencing PND after my first, I’m so glad I researched and came across Louise’s placenta business to ensure I didn’t experience PND again.
I’ve even had people say how good I look as well.
Thank you so much for all your help and having the tablets ready so quickly after the birth.

Would highly recommend placental encapsulation!!

Georgia Moreton

Louise is a lovely lady who provides an excellent service. Collection of the chill kit and the placenta after I’d given birth were so easy and straightforward. I made sure my husband and midwife were informed of process and they made it so smooth. I had my pills back the day after my son was born.

The pills themselves are amazing.

They really helped to keep me feeling balanced and I attribute my positive mental health to them entirely.

I could definitely tell on the days I’d forgotten to take them.

I would highly recommend Louise if you’re thinking of placenta encapsulation.

Trudy Brown

Super easy to do (much easier than you’d think!) and extremely helpful indeed.

I have had my placenta encapsulated twice now, and it’s been worth it both times. My first baby wasn’t a very good sleeper and the capsules helped a lot with tiredness. This second baby is a much better sleeper, but we have done a house move since her birth and I managed to keep a smile on my face throughout that too- all credit goes to Louise and the placenta capsules!

I’ve just collected my tincture which I’m hoping will keep me going through future tough times, especially considering I’m perimenopausal!

Melani Olu Abiola

I’m so glad I found Louise, she was able to do my pills at quite short notice too.

My post partum has been so so completely different from my first. I’ve been taking mostly the energy pills and only on 2 occasions I felt a bit teary and took the low mood one and I honestly do swear by them. Just want to say thank you really. I can’t believe how well I’ve done! We are even considering a third already!

Cally F

Having my 2nd child after 15 years, as well as Hypnobirthing with Louise, I also opted for placenta encapsulation, something I would never have considered before. It has supported my recovery and everything went so smoothly.
Louise goes over and above and has always been available when I’ve had questions.

Stephanie Bateman

The service from Louise was quick, smooth and efficient.

Everything was very well organized, orchestrated and carried out in a timely manner. My placenta was collected from the hospital the afternoon after I gave birth, and two days later my pills were with me, neatly labelled and gorgeously wrapped. I am seven days post partum and I am feeling great! Thanks Louise.

Victoria Zuluaga

Louise was amazing!

Made the process quick and easy for us, despite a very overdue birth and long labour! We loved the placenta pills and will do it again for a next baby! My sister is also now using Louise’s services for her baby due March! Can’t recommend enough!

Keri Nicholas

Louise was fantastic and so knowledgeable when it came to the process of making the placenta capsules and what benefits they have. She made me feel confident in her skills and also that she would be right there to collect my placenta as soon as baby came.

I feel they’ve helped boost my iron and vitamin levels, kept my mood even and also I think helped calm my hormonal postnatal skin a bit too.

Would definitely recommend – after all you don’t just grow a baby for 9 months, you grow the organ relied upon to keep that baby alive – so why not use it’s magical powers after birth too!

Charlie Fuller

I am also delighted to have ordered the simple dried placenta capsules.

Louise provided us with very clear instructions and was excellent at communicating with us in the run up to the due date.

On the day, Louise collected the placenta within hours of our baby being born and delivered the capsules the very next day!!! I found the capsules really helped with milk supply and keeping my mood from dipping.

Get in touch with Louise. You will not regret it!

Ewelina Roberts

I would highly recommend Louise at Birth Balm. She made the whole process very easy to understand and gave us clear instruction on what we needed to do which made everything run really smoothly on the day.

The turn around was very quick and I’m feeling great with taking the capsules.

Kelly Vines

The placenta encapsulation service was amazing and so quick and professional!

Nicola Simone

Louise was brilliant. I ordered the placenta pills, homeopathic remedy and tincture. Her communication before and after the birth was great.

I felt really supported throughout the whole process.

Thank you!

Rachael Lloyd

Ordered the 50/50 steamed and simple placenta capsules to assist with postpartum.

The entire service from start to finish was fantastic.

Louise collected and prepared my capsules within 24 hours, meaning I was able to start taking my capsules when my baby was only 1 day old.

I am extremely happy with service and care.

Should I have a third child I’ll definitely come to Louise again. 

Michelle Smith

I have had my placenta encapsulated with Louise twice now and the turnaround is incredible. I have my capsules back within 2 days and can take them straight away.

I feel incredible, no fatigue, my milk flow is so good and my energy levels considering I have just had a baby are so good!

I highly recommend Louise to anyone thinking of doing this she is amazing at what she does!

Sarah Louise Hunter Bruce

The service Louise provides is fantastic

…she talks through everything and can answer any question beforehand and when the time come she is incredibly flexible to collect the placenta as soon and as subtly as possible and then returns the capsules incredibly quickly. I had no doubt I would use Louise again for my 2nd baby as I found the energy levels I had great, with both newborns I never hit that terrible exhaustion phase most new mums dread and I believe this is due to the nutrients obtained from the capsules.

The capsules themselves are like taking any other supplement, they feel very removed from what they are but as a Nutritional Therapist I know the value in replenishing your body post labour is so incredibly valuable.

I couldn’t recommend any more more highly. Thank you Louise!

Stephanie Krikorian

My Placenta Capsules

… I wish I had done them with my other children…wow what a difference!!

People said shame they couldn’t buy them off me haha! I have finished them now but they definitely helped. I didn’t have any blues, wasn’t too tired and everyone said how well I was!

People kept commenting on my skin saying how well I was looking.

Shame they had to end hahaha!
I really recommend them and wish they lasted forever, thank you.

Danielle and Graham Swain

Louise was an absolute pleasure to deal with & made my placenta encapsulation experience so hassle free.

The capsules were ready very quickly after birth.

Definitely recommend.

Andrea Coleman Cooke

We also chose the placenta capsules and found those hugely beneficial to my recovery after the birth.

Alexandra Merri

Louise is awesome, she is super efficient, kind, knowledgeable and great at what she does.

We have used BirthBalm twice for placenta encapsulation as well as hypnobirthing refresher sessions, and can highly recommend both of these services.

Laura Allen

I couldn’t recommend Louise enough for placenta encapsulation.

From start to finish Louise was so knowledgeable, supportive, reliable and made the process so painless with the capsules being delivered very swiftly after birth. Thank you so much Louise !

Mei Peeroo

So glad we did the Hypnobirthing course and placenta encapsulation with Louise.

Having the placenta pills to take after birth was a huge help in making me feel more balanced  and having more energy in my recovery. 

Sophie Pascoe

I cannot recommend placenta pills highly enough! Louise made the whole process so easy.

I had everything I needed for the hospital hours after speaking to her for the first time on the phone and the pills were ready to take on day 1 after birth.

This was my fourth baby and my first time using placenta pills so I could really feel the impact they had on my fast recovery. My energy levels were consistently high for the 4-5weeks after birth and I didn’t feel the emotional rollercoaster that I had following my previous births.

Placenta pills will always be the first thing I recommend to my pregnant friends, nothing else I’ve tried has compared to the benefit I gained from taking them.

I just wish they didn’t run out! Thank you Louise 🙂
