Placenta Encapsulation
Restore your iron levels and balance your hormones postpartum.
Growing and birthing a tiny human is a big job. The hormonal crash women go through after giving birth is the biggest hormonal change a human being can experience. This sudden drop in oestrogen, progesterone and a cocktail of other hormones combined with huge physical, emotional and lifestyle changes over such a short period of time can leave you feeling flat, overwhelmed and fragile.
Some women find consuming their placenta a great way to rebalance their hormones and “bounce back” emotionally after birth. Combined with rest, support and good nutrition, placenta capsules can boost your mood, your breast milk supply and energy levels.
The placenta is cleaned, dehydrated, powdered and put into capsules. Depending on the size of the placenta 100-200+ capsules can be made. I use the Raw Method to process the placenta, the Traditional Chinese Medicine method is available at extra cost.
$330 - includes pick up of placenta and delivery of capsules in the Northern Illawarra including Wollongong Public Hospital and Wollongong Private Hospital. Pricing and our servicable area is outlined below.
Twins or multiples and some hospitals will incur an extra fee
Sterile equipment and vegan capsules used
Process takes 18-24 hours and I aim to have the capsules back to you or in the mail within 48 hours of collection of the placenta.
Umbilical Keepsakes
The Umbilical Cord is wound into a spiral, signifying the cycles and seasons of pregnancy, birth and motherhood, and our endless connection to our children and Maternal line.
$40 - The cord is dried and painted. Comes in a small box for storage.
Option to add to your invoice at checkout for Placenta Encapsulation.
