• Bay Area Placenta Services Contract

    Shawna McLaggan
  • For​ ​the​ ​Client​:

    It​ ​is​ ​up​ ​to​ ​me​ ​to​ ​decide​ ​if​ ​using​ ​placenta​ ​will​ ​be​ ​beneficial​ ​to​ ​me.
    ●I​ ​will​ ​notify​ ​the​ ​encapsulator​ ​as​ ​soon​ ​as​ ​I​ ​deliver​ ​in​ ​order​ ​to​ ​coordinate​ ​pick​ ​up.
    ●I​ ​agree​ ​to​ ​to​ ​have​ ​the​ ​placenta​ ​stored​ ​on​ ​ice,​ ​in​ ​a​ ​cooler​ ​or​ ​refrigerator​ ​within​ ​3​ ​hours​ ​after​ ​birth.​ ​I understand​ ​that​ ​if​ ​I​ ​fail​ ​to​ ​do​ ​this,​ ​the​ ​encapsulator​ ​is​ ​not​ ​responsible​ ​for​ ​the​ ​freshness​ ​of​ ​the​ ​placenta.
    ●I​ ​will​ ​notify​ ​my​ ​doctor​ ​or​ ​midwife​ ​of​ ​my​ ​wishes​ ​to​ ​take​ ​my​ ​placenta​ ​home.​ ​Failing​ ​to​ ​mention​ ​this​ ​may result​ ​in​ ​the​ ​placenta​ ​being​ ​disposed​ ​of​ ​quickly​ ​by​ ​healthcare​ ​staff.
    ●I​ ​understand​ ​that​ ​my​ ​placenta​ ​will​ ​be​ ​handled​ ​and​ ​processed​ ​by​ ​a​ ​trained​ ​and​ ​educated​ ​encapsulator.​ ​This​ ​is not​ ​approved​ ​by​ ​the​ ​FDA​ ​and​ ​I​ ​will​ ​be​ ​consuming​ ​this​ ​at​ ​my​ ​own​ ​risk.​ ​The​ ​encapsulator​ ​is​ ​not​ ​responsible for​ ​the​ ​condition​ ​of​ ​the​ ​placenta​ ​before​ ​she​ ​receives​ ​it.
    ●I​ ​do​ ​not​ ​knowingly​ ​carry​ ​any​ ​transferrable​ ​bloodborne​ ​pathogens​ ​and​ ​if​ ​I​ ​do,​ ​I​ ​will​ ​notify​ ​the​ ​encapsulator in​ ​advance.
    ●I​ ​will​ ​pay​ ​the​ ​balance​ ​to​ ​the​ ​encapsulator​ ​upon​ ​pick​ ​up​ ​or​ ​at​ ​the​ ​start​ ​of​ ​the​ ​process.​ ​I​ ​understand​ ​that​ ​she will​ ​not​ ​handle​ ​my​ ​placenta​ ​without​ ​full​ ​payment.
    ●If​ ​a​ ​suspected​ ​infection​ ​is​ ​present,​ ​I​ ​will​ ​notify​ ​the​ ​encapsulator.​ ​Failure​ ​to​ ​mention​ ​this​ ​can​ ​impact​ ​the safety​ ​of​ ​the​ ​capsules.

    For​ ​the​ ​Specialist​:

    I​ ​do​ ​not​ ​promise​ ​or​ ​guarantee​ ​specific​ ​benefits.​​ ​​Benefits​ ​have​ ​been​ ​backed​ ​by​ ​anecdotal​ ​and​ ​evidence​ ​based research,​ ​they​ ​are​ ​not​ ​backed​ ​by​ ​the​ ​FDA.
    ●I​ ​am​ ​not​ ​a​ ​medical​ ​professional​ ​and​ ​will​ ​not​ ​diagnose​ ​or​ ​treat​ ​any​ ​health​ ​condition.​ ​I​ ​have​ ​been​ ​trained​ ​in the​ ​proper​ ​safe​ ​storing,​ ​handling​ ​and​ ​preparation​ ​of​ ​your​ ​placenta.
    ●Services​ ​and​ ​fees​ ​are​ ​for​ ​the​ ​preparation​ ​of​ ​the​ ​placenta​ ​and​ ​NOT​ ​for​ ​the​ ​sale​ ​of​ ​the​ ​pills​ ​or​ ​use​ ​of​ ​another's placenta.
    ●If​ ​in​ ​the​ ​unlikely​ ​event​ ​of​ ​an​ ​unforeseen​ ​circumstance,​ ​I​ ​have​ ​multiple​ ​colleagues​ ​that​ ​will​ ​be​ ​my​ ​backup.
    ●I​ ​guarantee​ ​that​ ​I​ ​handle​ ​your​ ​placenta​ ​with​ ​respect​ ​and​ ​care​ ​and​ ​that​ ​you​ ​are​ ​getting​ ​your​ ​placenta​ ​back​ ​in the​ ​form​ ​that​ ​you​ ​have​ ​requested.
    ●I​ ​will​ ​return​ ​your​ ​finished​ ​package​ ​within​ ​48 ​hours,​ ​or​ ​at​ ​your​ ​earliest​ ​convenience​ ​after​ ​that​ ​time.

    Fees,​ ​Deposits,​ ​Payments​ ​and​ ​Refunds

    My​ ​fee​ ​for​ ​placenta​ ​encapsulation​ ​is $275

    ​​ ​​A​ ​non​ ​refundable​ ​retainer​ ​fee​ ​of​ ​​$50​​ ​is​ ​due​ ​to​ ​hold​ ​your​ ​spot​ ​on​ ​my
    calendar.​ ​​

    The​ ​balance​ ​is​​ ​​due​ ​upon​ ​the​ ​start​ ​of​ ​the​ ​process​.​ ​If​ ​it​ ​is​ ​easier​ ​for​ ​you​ ​to​ ​pay​ ​in​ ​full​ ​in advance,​ ​that​ ​is​ ​fine​ as well. ​If​ ​your​ ​placenta​ ​is​ ​not​ ​released​ ​by​ ​the​ ​hospital,​ ​all​ ​of​ ​the​ ​money​ ​except​ ​for​ ​the​ ​$50​ ​retainer will​ ​be​ ​returned.​ ​Retainers​ ​can​ ​be​ ​mailed​ ​(address​ ​provided​ ​upon​ ​request)​ ​or​ ​paid​ ​electronically (Venmo, Paypal, Square Cash, and Chase quickpay)
