Can not recommend Sarah enough!! Start to finish she has gone above and beyond, answered all my many questions and was so patient with my baby brain when I was getting easily confused and needed everything explained a few times lol! I had my placenta encapsulated and all the added extras and can't not recommend enough! I had a pretty long road to my birth with a 4 day induction, with no sleep I was hallucinating, a day laboring and pushing and then emergency c section! To say I was completely exhausted is an understatement, my baby was born and on my chest and I was so relieved and happy but also couldn't keep my eyes open I was completely drained and worn out, then enter Sarah and the most delicious smoothie and I instantly felt revived!! I had the biggest boost and felt so energised! Sarah really went above and beyond, especially as the hospital were awkward and wouldn't let her make my smoothie in the hospital, she was gutted for me and was trying everything as knew after the birth journey I had I’d really benefit from it, bless Sarah she went to my house to make it for me and she was so right, I really did benefit and then some!! The delivery of my capsules and everything else was so quick and I honestly can not fault the process!! I'm 6 weeks pp and honestly have felt incredible, every one has commented on how well I've recovered and managed, giving everything! I have nothing to compare to but never felt like I had major surgery, I was up and about and mobile and didn't need pain relief, I just felt great, I also never had the baby blues which is why I wanted my placenta encapsulated in the first place, I've always suffered with hormonal imbalance and was so anxious on how I would manage with the hormone crash after birth, I have PMDD and I normally feel awful and very low with my period, but can honestly say I've never felt more level in my life! Only had happy tears and have absolutely loved my newborn bubble!! I don't think I would have had this experience if I'd not had my placenta! Also I've felt like I'm coming down with something a few times, the germ season and hard to avoid but have taken the remedies and then felt better again! I'm shouting from the roof tops and telling everyone who will listen how amazing it is and if you can do it, do it. I will 100000% be getting my placenta encapsulated and all the other remedies again, I wouldn't want to do post partum without them, I honestly feel like they've saved me and given me the most special and wonderful time with my gorgeous baby boy! I feel like I've really been able to enjoy him and not have awful hormones playing up. If you’re considering it, trust me, do it!! It might seem like a lot of money but I'd of paid so much more for the experience it has given me!! Thank you so much, although thank you doesn't seem enough! Brogan D, baby born September 2024

My main reason for having my placenta encapsulated was to take as a preventative of postpartum depression. I personally feel it has helped me when i have been feeling very tired and worn out from the blessings of a newborn! The process of storing and preserving the placenta to pass on to be encapsulated was straight forward; just need to ensure there is space in the freezer for the ice packs, and to remember to take everything with you if the birth is at the hospital. I was thrilled to have been able to have a placenta smoothie straight after the birth and I have the umbilical cord preserved in a heart shape,  thank you! I would recommend encapsulation if it is something you are curious about. Luisa B, baby born December 2023

I had always been interested in placenta encapsulation but knew little about it. After a very long and difficult IVF process, when I finally got pregnant I knew that I wanted to try anything i could to speed up my recovery and limit any hormonal lows that I might experience postnatally. I opted for the 50% steamed and 50% dried capsules as I couldn’t decide between the two! I couldn’t tell a huge difference in how I felt when taking one or the other but I haven’t experienced any mood swings, severe fatigue or negative feelings. I also have an c-section and my recovery has been very straight forward and speedy! I would recommend them to family and friends to help prevent tiredness and low mood for sure. Fleur Galpin-Swan, baby born November 2023

I chose to have my placenta encapsulated as I had heard that it can help with milk supply and reduce postpartum bleeding. It’s been over 3 months since giving birth, and to this day, I’ve not come across any issues breastfeeding, my recovery was very quick, and I’m not feeling as tired as I probably should be! I have recommended this service to many friends as I found the benefits to be fantastic. Not only was I super pleased by the quantity of capsules made, I was also impressed by Sarah’s speedy response with both collection of my placenta and delivery of the capsules. I would definitely do this again! Jess Daly, baby born October 2023

I decided to get my placenta encapsulated with my second birth, as I suffered from postnatal depression with my first, and wanted to do anything that could help to prevent it from happening again. It worked! I had much more energy, my mood was improved, and I’m still breastfeeding successfully after six months! Sarah was very prompt at picking my placenta up, even from home after a Home birth. Delivery of the capsules after was also prompt. I definitely recommend Sarah‘s services! Alice T, baby born July 2023

Placenta encapsulation was recommended to me during a hypnobirthing course, to help with milk production, mood and energy post partum. Knowing that I was going to need a c-section to deliver my baby safely, I wanted to do everything I could to help with milk production and the first few weeks with a newborn. I did some research into it and contacted Sarah regarding her services. Sarah was very helpful and informative, she was quick to respond to any queries. Sarah sent us all the information and equipment we needed to ensure that we followed the right steps for collecting and storing my placenta. She made the process really easy and hassle free, which is just what you need when you're giving birth and have a lot going on!! Sarah was also very quick to complete the encapsulation process and send the pills to me, which meant that I was able to start taking them very early on in the post partum days. I felt that the pills really helped with my mood and energy levels, even the midwife commented on how well I was doing as I didn't suffer from the day 3-5 post partum blues. I'd highly recommend Sarah's services and placenta encapsulation to anyone thinking about it. Monica Baison, baby born April 2023

I decided to research placenta encapsulation after my midwife mentioned it at an antenatal appointment. Initially I found the thought of it quite off putting but the more I researched the more I learnt about some of the possible benefits and I decided there really wasn't anything to lose. I went for the capsules which came with very clear instructions. Sarah was incredibly organised and thorough with all the necessary preparation and paperwork which I found very reassuring and helpful to know the exact process involved and when I would receive the capsules etc. I personally recommend it to all prospective mums I speak to now and if I was pregnant again I would definitely want to have my placenta encapsulated again. I found they helped me feel energised and an excellent pick me up throughout the early weeks post-partum. I would wholeheartedly recommend Sarah's services and getting your placenta encapsulated. Amelia Robbins, baby born March 2023

I chose to have my placenta encapsulated as I have a history of anaemia and nutrient deficiency, as well as feeling nervous about the post-partum hormone crash. I don’t have anything to compare it too, but despite finding the early days hard, I didn’t feel a noticeable dip in my overall mood. I also had my bloods checked at 8 weeks post-partum and all my levels were fine so I think this is a really positive sign that the capsules helped. Sarah goes above and beyond to ensure everything is done as smoothly and quickly as possible, all instructions were super clear and even with some complications with my placenta she still managed to make it work which I was really grateful for. I thought it was such a special touch that Sarah hand delivered the capsules to us. I would definitely recommend Sarah’s encapsulation services. Hannah N, baby born March 2023

I am so happy I chose to have my placenta encapsulated with Sarah. I had the most wonderful postpartum experience. I felt positive, energetic, and blissfully in love with my new baby and growing family. I really do think that the support of taking the placenta pills aiding in my physical recovery and kept me in a more relaxed emotional state. Even my husband noticed the positive effects and wanted some! I am very thankful to have had that tool at my disposal and I would recommend it to anyone else who is considering it. Sarah made the whole process so easy and even included a little surprise for us! Thank you Sarah for all your services, you make birth and everything surrounding the birth process feel sacred - as it should be! Mel B, baby born Jan 2023

Being oblivious to the benefits that placenta encapsulation entails we chose to do it in order to have the option post natally. However, I do feel certain that it played a huge part in feeling steadier in the initial days and weeks post partum. Lizzie T, baby born December 2022.

“I would thoroughly recommend placenta capsules to anyone considering it and I personally found I had more energy and less hair loss. The whole experience with Sarah was wonderful!” Rio D, first baby born September 2022

Placenta pills are ace! I’m now 2 months in to taking the placenta pills and I feel flipping fabulous!! I wonder if it is them that’s working this magic? Hannah D, twin babies born May 2022

The capsules have been a god send, I still have some left and noticed my mood drop when I forgot to take them last week, hand on my heart think they have been the reason I’ve healed so quickly for the C section and kept my hormones balanced as I was really concerned that I would get very bad baby blues and so far so good. You really do amazing work to help people. Lauren S, baby born April 2022

Sarah was very easy to communicate with and provided high quality capsules very quickly after receiving my placenta. I feel that the placenta remedy helped with my energy and lifting my mood after a traumatic birth. Mum whose baby was born February 2021

I am glad I decided to get my placenta encapsulated because I believe it helped with my milk supply especially during cluster feeding. I was anemic shortly after birth and the doctor prescribed me with some iron pills which I took for a week alongside the capsules (I took them religiously). During my 6 week postpartum check, my iron levels were completely restored. I will definitely get my placenta encapsulated if we end up getting pregnant again. Thank you for the careful instruction and ease with which we were able transfer the placenta to you. Lesley R, baby born November 2020

I feel the placenta capsules I had significantly helped me recover after having my baby. Friends and family commented on how well I seemed and how I didn’t look like someone who had just had a baby. I think the capsules helped with my mood and I felt more balanced almost immediately after starting to take them. Both my Placenta Specialist and the midwife who delivered my baby were really supportive as well. I would absolutely recommend that people have their placenta encapsulated as I’m sure it had a positive effect postpartum on both my physical and mental health. Mum whose baby was born February 2020

The service was excellent. I was provided with everything needed to store my placenta in advance of the birth, along with instructions. My placenta was collected and processed very quickly and sent back to me. I actually felt sad when I took my last placenta capsule but I am so pleased I have my baby’s dried umbilical cord as a keepsake of my birthing experience. Mum whose baby was born February 2020

I just wanted to let you know how amazing the placenta pills have been! I have been taking four a day for the last two weeks and have noticed a significant difference in my recovery compared to my last two caesareans. I have found my scar healed much faster this time, my pain subsided much quicker and my milk has been much more regulated and plentiful this time round! So much so that my baby has only been waking once or twice in the night for a feed which is unheard of at 2 weeks old!? My energy levels have also been much better and even my husband says my mood is much more positive this time round. Overall they have been incredible so far, I just wish I had done it after my previous children too! I will definitely be in touch before my pills run out as I reckon I will need a tincture too. Many thanks for your help. Katie G, baby born January 2020

I had my placenta encapsulated after the birth of my second baby in the summer. I immediately felt the ability to cope with my day better despite very little sleep in those early days. My moods felt more balanced. If I was already having a 'high' day then these capsules increased that even more, I felt like I was buzzing around feeling very happy! I would definitely recommend doing this. I sincerely feel like they have made a huge improvement in my energy levels and just the knowledge that I am absorbing the nutrients from them adds to this lift. Having my umbilical cord dried into a heart shape was a lovely touch by Sarah too. Thank you! Laura, baby born August 2019

Simple Placenta pills really helped me to balance my mood swings, my milk supply increased and the condition of my skin became better while using these pills. Anon, baby born July 2019

Sarah was very prompt in answering any questions and was very clear about what to expect etc. She made sure to work with me to send all the necessary equipment to conserve the placenta after birth awaiting her pick up, she came soon after the birth and was very discreet. Anon, baby born June 2019

Sarah was brilliant at being on the end of the phone as I went through induction and my capsules arrived very quickly after birth. I truly believe they have helped me feel much less tired then I would have felt without them and less fluctuating in my emotions. My hair also hasn't fallen out like a lot of people experience and it has kept in good condition (even my hairdresser was surprised). Anon, baby born April 2019

I just want to say Thank you! The capsules helped me to get better as my iron level was very low after loosing 4 litres of blood during birth. The capsules gave me strength and help my iron level to increase - gp and midwife congratulate with me for doing this! Sarah is fantastic; sensitive and professional! I recommend every pregnant women to contact a specialist to find out more about the placenta remedies. Once again Thank you! Mum to baby born December 2018

Sarah was fantastic, to say I sent her a lot of emails is putting it kindly, but she replied promptly and kindly in every one. Very patient and informative, would definitely recommend her. As for the placenta pills themselves, I can honestly say I feel they've made a difference. I feel calm and balanced, my energy is really good despite having a 3 and a half year old and a newborn and a husband deployed overseas in the military. My milk came in nicely and I've had no supply issues at all. Having suffered badly with post natal depression with my first there seems to be no sign this time around whether that's experience or the pills I'm not sure but I'd say the pills have been more than worth it and I'd 100% recommend and if I were crazy enough to have another I'd definitely go for encapsulation again. Mum to baby born November 2018

Sarah was extremely efficient and took any stress out of the placenta remedy (you just have to remember your box for your placenta etc when in the throws of labour!). I honestly think it has been an amazing thing to do. My milk supply was abundant and I have felt the best out of all my pregnancies and I am 10 years older and I think it may be down to the capsules. People also have commented on how calm I seem and how I look very well. My baby is also very very content - I don't know if the pills have helped with this but I would highly recommend taking them. Anon Sept 2018

I just wanted to say many thanks for my wonderful placenta capsules, I am so sure they helped me recover from my c-section really well and I felt full of energy! We also loved the umbilical cord and placenta print, amazing :). I will definitely be back in touch if we are ever lucky enough to have another baby! Cassandra, baby born August 2018

I had my placenta pills from you earlier this year and think they were AMAZING! My milk supply was beyond and everyone kept commenting on how well I looked! I felt the best I've felt post all pregnancies too. Susannah, third time mum, July 2018

Sarah Boyd was great, the capsules were great too and absolutely made a difference to my energy levels.    Anon 2017

I absolutely loved taking placenta capsules! I never felt better, I didn't know what I would do when I finished them! Everyone complemented me on how great I looked and I had a c section! Would so recommend!  Anon 2017

Tablets received yesterday. My blood loss has almost stopped today! The umbilical cord moved me to tears how amazing to see and keep the little cord that gave my gorgeous boy life. Thank you so much for that.  Joanna, baby born September 2017

Placenta pills have been great, I've nothing to compare it to but I've felt completely balanced and have recovered well.  Heather, baby born July 2017

The capsules made me feel balanced and in harmony. I felt a boost of energy even through the lack of sleep of the first days. My mood was positive. They lasted 2 months and then I asked for a tincture to prolong the benefits for life. In addition I had a big milk supply. The best was that I received the capsules very soon after birth so they helped me from the beginning. I highly recommend this service.    Margarita, baby born December 2016

I didn’t know much about placenta encapsulation but had been told by a few people to look into it when I was preparing for the birth of my daughter. Thankfully, I found Sarah’s website almost immediately. It was just what I needed; clear, concise, friendly & helpful information. I booked Sarah’s service for the Dried Placenta Capsules because I was keen to try everything I could to combat any possibility of “baby blues” whilst also giving back nourishment to my body. The capsules arrived in the most beautiful packaging two days after my daughter’s birth! I took them in the advised doses and I just know they helped me to make a swift recovery from my labour. I can happily report that I didn’t not experience any post natal depression - something I am very grateful for.    Laura, baby born October 2016

I can't recommend Sarah Boyd/ Birth Baby Balance placenta encapsulation enough. I had an awful pregnancy including severe pre-natal depression & insomnia (I had never experienced either before). Both I and my Doctors were worried about post natal depression as a result. A friend from the US recommended placenta encapsulation - I am so glad I took her recommendation. I certainly didn't have post natal depression, & despite having a baby (now 7 months) who has never been much of a sleeper, I felt energetic, really happy & healthy post birth (and still do despite the 3 wake ups per night from my baby!) In addition my skin and hair looked fantastic post birth, my milk supply was great (still is) & I felt very balanced despite being a new Mum and previously being really depressed during pregnancy. I also lost any baby weight within a month (& was swimming again within a month). In addition Sarah was completely efficient & easy to work with - I vaguely remember seeing her in the delivery room to pick up my placenta post birth! The capsules arrived a few days later with clear instructions (& actually tasted fine), with a lovely heart made out of my daughter's umbilical cord! I now recommend placenta encapsulation to every pregnant friend. My partner also does the same as he saw what a positive experience I had and the change in my energy levels and overall happiness & health. Thanks so much Sarah & Birth Baby Balance.    Becky, baby born September 2016

I was delighted with the service Sarah provided - my placenta was collected after my son's birth quickly and efficiently and returned to me in capsules and my umbilical cord in the shape of a heart (lovely touch!) within days! I took my capsules for 7 weeks post birth and although this was my first baby so I have no comparison, I felt healed, energetic and full of breast milk straight away! I will most definitely have my future placentas encapsulated with Sarah.        Apryl, baby born September 2016

I decided to have my placenta encapsulated after the birth of my second child. As I had an elective Caesarean I really wanted to help as much as possible in my recovery. I had read about placenta encapsulation and to me it made total sense. I started to take my tablets immediately and I recovered from the operation really quickly and didn't need any additional iron supplements. I started to call them my wonder pills and everyone complimented on how well I had recovered as well as my body snapping back to pre-pregnancy size. To be honest I wondered how I would cope after they had finished as they made me feel really good in myself as well as helping me look after my baby in so many different ways. I would certainly recommend the service Sarah Boyd offered.    Sam, baby born July 2016

The placenta encapsulation service that Sarah offered me was more than I could have asked for. She came through very quickly, and helped me adjust what I needed at the last minute when things did not go exactly to plan. My capsules came through the mail within a couple of days after I delivered. Camille, baby born July 2016

Sarah provided me with placenta encapsulation services when I gave birth in June 2016 and to this day I am so pleased that I opted for this and grateful for the great service that Sarah provided. This was my first child so I don’t have anything to compare my experience to, but I honestly believe that consuming my placenta capsules contributed to mine and my baby’s well being and happiness in the weeks and months following his birth. Despite the usual lack of sleep and wave of emotions that come with having a baby, I felt happy and energised throughout. My milk was plentiful and clearly nutritious as my baby was always satisfied after feeds and put on weight steadily. It was also great to know that in the later months, I had a good supply of tablets for those times when I needed a bit of an energy boost, as I could definitely feel the effects of taking them again for a few days. I would absolutely recommend placenta encapsulation to anyone - I actually find it hard to believe that more people don’t do it and I am so grateful to the friend that made me aware of it. Based on my positive experience, I wouldn’t dream of going into the process of early motherhood without it! I would also highly recommend Sarah’s services - she made it very clear exactly what needed to be done to store my placenta immediately after birth so that my husband could brief the midwives, and collected it from the hospital within the necessary time slot. I received the tablets within a few days of returning home, which I thought was an excellent turnaround. Kate, baby born June 2016 

Placenta pills are fab. My husband constantly dishes them out to me when I’m being grumpy with him - I think he thinks they’re magic beans! Kira, baby born April 2015
