Inspired by Carmen Calvo’s own postpartum journey, The Nurturing Root celebrates 15 years of providing placenta encapsulation services.
San Antonio, TX (PRUnderground) October 30th, 2026

What began as a personal experience with motherhood has grown into a business that has supported more than 1,000 families. The Nurturing Root is celebrating its 15th anniversary this month, marking a milestone in providing professional placenta encapsulation services to growing families.
The business was inspired by founder, Carmen Calvo’s experience following the birth of her own babies in Baltimore, Maryland, in 2011. That experience sparked a passion for helping other mothers navigate the physical and emotional changes that come with childbirth. Carmen launched The Nurturing Root in 2011 and later established the business in San Antonio in 2018, bringing her experience and commitment to postpartum care to families across South Texas.
“After having my own babies, I realized just how important it is for mothers and parents to feel supported during those first weeks after birth,” said Carmen, founder of The Nurturing Root. “What started as something deeply personal became a way for me to help other families. Knowing I’ve now been part of more than 1,000 postpartum journeys is incredibly meaningful.”
The Nurturing Root specializes in placenta encapsulation using a traditional preparation method inspired by Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The business also offers placenta tinctures, placenta prints, and birth keepsakes. With convenient pickup and delivery, Carmen helps simplify the process for new parents throughout San Antonio, Boerne, New Braunfels, Schertz, Seguin, and surrounding communities.
As The Nurturing Root celebrates 15 years in business, Carmen remains committed to providing personalized care and helping families feel informed and supported during the fourth trimester. Expectant parents are encouraged to explore available services and reserve their placenta encapsulation before their due date.
