We had the good fortune of connecting with Tanna Sanders and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Tanna, maybe we can start at the very start – the idea – how did you come up with the idea for your business?
The inspiration for my placenta encapsulation and postpartum business stems from a personal experience that profoundly impacted me during my first pregnancy. Having my placenta encapsulated intrigued me, and the positive outcomes I observed sparked a realization – this transformative process wasn’t receiving the attention it deserved in discussions about postpartum wellness. Recognizing the potential benefits for postpartum moms, I was inspired to turn my personal experience into a business idea. The more I delved into the subject, the more I realized the lack of awareness surrounding placenta encapsulation. This realization, coupled with my passion for supporting and enhancing the postpartum experience, became the driving force behind my venture.

I envisioned a business that not only provided placenta encapsulation services but also sought to raise awareness about its potential benefits. My goal is to offer a holistic approach to postpartum care, emphasizing the significance of nurturing both the physical and emotional well-being of new mothers.
In essence, my business was born out of a desire to share a game-changing aspect of postpartum recovery that I personally found valuable but felt was underrepresented. It’s a journey driven by the belief that every mother deserves comprehensive support during the delicate postpartum period, and placenta encapsulation can be a meaningful part of that holistic care.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I’m thrilled to share the journey and ethos behind my placenta encapsulation business. What sets my business apart is its genesis in a deeply personal experience – the transformative power of placenta encapsulation during my own postpartum journey. This ignited a passion for women’s health, postpartum care, and empowerment, leading to the creation of a business that goes beyond a service to advocate for and support mothers during this crucial time.

What I’m most proud of is the commitment to affordability and accessibility. Recognizing the lack of knowledge and the high cost associated with placenta encapsulation, I aimed to make this empowering practice available to a broader audience. This aspect, combined with a genuine passion for empowering women, has been a driving force in the success of my business.

The journey to where I am today wasn’t without its challenges. The initial stages involved overcoming misconceptions and resistance from conventional advice, especially regarding hospitals and doctors withholding placentas. It required a dedication to advocacy and education, ensuring that mothers knew their rights and had access to the benefits of placenta encapsulation. Persistence and a deep conviction in the value of my services played a crucial role in overcoming these hurdles.

The lessons learned along the way are invaluable. Flexibility and adaptability are key in a field that constantly evolves. The journey has reinforced the importance of listening to clients, understanding their unique needs, and continuously improving services based on their experiences.

What I want the world to know about my brand is that it’s more than a business; it’s a commitment to making a positive impact in the lives of postpartum mothers. It’s about empowerment, affordability, and a holistic approach to well-being. I want to inspire a shift in the conversation around postpartum care, emphasizing the significance of choices, support, and a comprehensive approach to women’s health.

In essence, my business is a testament to the transformative power of personal experience, the passion for women’s health, and the dedication to creating a positive change in the postpartum experiences of mothers.
