Your placenta is a powerful organ that is grown during pregnancy. It provides nutrients and oxygenated blood to babies and removes waste in utero. Your placenta is baby's first magical, water filled home. Across the world, there are different rituals for honoring placentas, from burial ceremonies to consumption.

Benefits of Placenta Consumption May Include:

• Increasing energy

• Increasing milk production

• Helping regulate hormones & balance emotions

• Replenishing iron and nutrients to the system

• Returning warmth to the body

• Supporting the uterus to return to its pre-pregnancy state

I honor encapsulation of your placenta as a sacred ritual and have been trained in proper sanitation and handling techniques. I prepare placentas using a method which focuses on returning heat to the birthing person's body. I steam the placenta with warming herbs, dehydrate the placenta, and then grind it into powder for capsules.

Placenta Encapsulation Package Includes:

• A photo of your placenta texted or emailed to you

• Placenta capsules

• Dried umbilical cord & membranes keepsake

• Placenta print keepsake

• Pick up & drop off plus detailed recommendations for dosage & use

• $325 fee for services

Additional offerings:

• Placenta broth ($20) - A warming, nourishing broth that can be consumed immediately or frozen and added to soups, stews, etc.

• Placenta tincture ($25) - A concentrated alcohol solution of the nutrients & hormones from your placenta. Tinctures can last for years and folks enjoy working with them to support balance later in life, for example during menopause.

• Placenta salve ($35) - A healing, soothing balm for perineal tissue, cesarean incisions, baby’s diaper area, etc.

Placenta Burial Ceremony

There are many indigenous traditions that include some form of burying the placenta. It is believed that this is a grounding practice that will help your child always know where home is. I can help you design a ceremony that feels right for your family and facilitate the practice of returning the placenta to the earth. We can explore working with story, song, prayer, plants, and more. Please contact me to discuss details and fees.
