My favourite mug, bought online from a Melbourne shop during covid. Not for the weak.

This is your sign to keep your placenta!

The feedback I get from mums who’ve done both, one postpartum without capsules then one with, is almost always the same.

An easier recovery the second time.

There are obviously so many variables but there has to be so much more to the placenta that we’re not even talking about yet.

Together since 2012.
Married in 2025.

Somewhere in between..
I started encapsulating placentas after our firstborn Marley in 2021, then welcomed Rex in 2023.
When I first told Inigo what I wanted to try do for a living he thought it was the most bizarre, horrifying idea he’d ever heard… and genuinely hoped I’d forget about it.
Now Mr Placenta is constantly updating bits in my lab and checking those stock levels.

Growth. 😂

You are the remedy.

Tonight’s placenta.
Dense, vascular, doing exactly what it was meant to do.

The detail in the vessels never gets old.
Every time it’s a reminder of just how hard this organ works behind the scenes!

A future placenta specialist in the making.

Marles has been asking to see me prep a placenta for yearssss.

Today she finally sat beside me for the initial inspection (until it was time for PPE and rinsing).

I want my children to grow up understanding that the womb is powerful, birth is normal, and the female body deserves respect rather than shame.

To her it wasn’t strange or scary. It was simply fascinating. The organ that nourished a baby for nine months.

She told me she wants to do my job one day like me 😭

I am deeply proud of her curiosity.

Pregnancy takes everything from a mother’s body and turns it into a baby.

Blood
Iron
Hormones
Energy

And then postpartum begins.

One of the reasons some mothers choose placenta encapsulation is because the placenta is naturally rich in things the postpartum body has just depleted. Research has found it contains iron, oxytocin, progesterone, serotonin and other compounds that may support recovery, mood, milk supply and energy after birth.

Many mothers report benefits such as
• more stable mood
• increased energy
• improved lactation
• faster recovery
• hormone replenishment

Your body created it for a reason.

You are the remedy.

If you are planning your postpartum recovery and are curious about placenta encapsulation, you are always welcome to reach out x

Every placenta print I create is complimentary. They arrive however they naturally form, which is part of the beauty.

Some families choose to add gold embellishment to highlight the vessels and edges. This option is available for $25.
