Placenta Preparation

Placentophagia - ingesting the placenta - is said to have numerous benefits such as increasing milk supply, lowering the risk of postnatal depression and replenishing nutrients.

 

I have recently begun offering a service preparing the placenta for consumption. You can choose to ingest capsules of dried and powdered placenta or frozen tablet-sized pieces of raw placenta. The service includes:

 

* collection of your placenta

* placenta prints

* the entire placenta dried, powdered and encapsulated, and the capsules returned to you in a container OR part of the placenta cut into tablet-size pieces laid out on baking paper ready for freezing and the rest of the placenta returned to you

* if you choose the encapsulation process, you have the option of having the umbilical cord included in the drying and powdering process or it can be dried and returned to you

 

This service is offered free of charge to my clients. For those women not birthing with me, the cost is $280 for those in the Illawarra or $300 for those in Sydney, Southern Highlands, or Shoalhaven.

 

To book this service please email me or phone me on 0421-721-497.
