Placenta Medicine

The Placenta, or as sometimes called "The Tree of Life" is a potent organ, full of hormones, enzymes, nutrients and stem cells. It supports the baby in the uterus and after baby is born, it is a gift for the mother/birthing parent. Almost all mammals eat their placentas after birth, because it replenishes the mother and provides healing after birth.
There are many ways to consume the placenta after birth in order to receive all the potential benefits it has to offer the new mother. Placenta encapsulation provides the most palatable and noninvasive way to consume the placenta since it provides pure placenta in easy to take capsule form.
For thousands of years, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has revered the placenta as a powerful and invaluable medicine and modern healing arts consider it an important part of the postpartum healing process. After giving birth many new mothers experience blood loss, fatigue, and a drop in their high pregnancy hormones; all of which are thought of as key factors in the development of the “baby blues”.
Full of Qi, life energy, the placenta aids in postpartum wellness by replenishing your system with natural iron & protein and helps reintroduce these essential hormones back into your system.
The "baby blues" affect the majority of women. It is so common that it is not even considered a disorder.

I started offering Placenta Medicine services, because having gone through a difficult postpartum period, I know that this is a simple and cost effective way to support a mother's system. I wish all new mothers could have the option to receive the potent power their own placentas can offer.
I make medicine that is tailored to the birthing parent's needs. Depending on their emotional and physical state after birth we decide together which method of preparation suits her/them best. I come and pick up the placenta at home or the hospital and bring back the capsules within 2-3 days. I do not offer preparation in the client's house at this time.
I use food grade standard equipment and follow strict OSHA rules and safe food handling guidelines to ensure your safety and health. I hold certificates in both Safe Food Handling and Blood Born Pathogen training.

Capsules can be made in the Traditional Chinese Medicine method (steamed) or the Raw drying way.

Placenta Essence is like a flower essence (i.e.: rescue remedy), holds energetic vibration and can be used for you and your child at times of emotional upheaval, hormonal imbalance, transition, illness or stress, such as going back to work, sleep training, nursing transitions, moving...etc.
