Why encapsulation your placenta?
One of the greatest ways a pregnant person can support their body’s physical and emotional changes is to take their placenta as medicine.
Each placenta is incredibly unique, composed of vital minerals, vitamins, hormones, amino acids and stem cells. No two placentas are the same; they are all as unique as a fingerprint and they hold power to help replenish the essential hormones and nutrients lost following birth.
My role
As a placenta encapsulator specialist I use several methods to turn this nutrient rich organ into gentle postpartum supplements. Including capsules, tincture and salves. Placenta encapsulation is a natural way to support a peaceful transition to parenthood and the vital and blissful state of bonding with your baby.
I am fully trained and certified. I have completed my blood borne pathogen training as well as food safety handling and all placentas are prepared and handled with care.
We will discuss your individual requirements and what supplements would be best to support your health and wellbeing.
I will arrange collection of your placenta from home or hospital and deliver your products to you on completion of preparation.
As a birth doula I offer a complimentary pre-natal session with all placenta remedies.

New findings and research into the benefits of placentophagy is ongoing.
Research study: an amazing 2013 study, “Human Maternal Placentophagy: A Survey of Self-Reported Motivations and Experiences Associated with Placenta Consumption” that has gathered the self-reported benefits from almost 200 mothers and their experience with placental consumption.

Placenta – Worth Trying? – The use of placenta preparations as an individual puerperal remedy can be traced back to historical, traditional practices in Western and Asian medicine. To evaluate the ingestion of processed placenta as a puerperal remedy, the potential risks (trace elements, microorganisms) and possible benefit (hormones in the placental tissue) of such a practice are discussed in this article based on a literature review.
