Placenta Remedies ServicesWhat is placenta encapsulation?
Placentophagy, or consumption of the placenta; is practiced by almost every species on earth, including until very recently in our own anthropological timeline, humans. It is a common, healthful, and restorative practice which utilises the body's own natural, cyclical processes to support postpartum recovery. For most people, however, consuming a freshly delivered, whole placenta is neither practical, nor palatable! To that end, I offer the preparation of placenta remedies for a simple and efficient way to easily and safely consume your placenta. The placenta is the organ which grows alongside and supports the developing life of the baby in utero. It is delivered shortly after the birth of the baby, and can then be utilised in a number of different ways, depending on the cultural or personal preferences of the parents. Placenta encapsulation is fast becoming one of the most popular choices for postpartum families, based on the truly incredible benefits reported by clients. The predominant source of information regarding the benefits of the consumption of dried placenta capsules is currently anecdotal, as there has been a dearth of clinical research. In a process which mirrors the mainstream medical approach to Doula practice, however, research into the field is increasing at an exponential rate with studies being conducted across the globe; and the resultant data is supportive of the lay consensus regarding the beneficial nature of placentophagy. Original research articles can be found at the bottom of this page. As a former clinical researcher, I am acutely aware of the necessity of exceptional standards of safety and hygiene, and will always provide the highest quality of care for your precious placenta. I am always happy to answer questions about this process, so please don't hesitate to contact me. For additional specialised information on the history and current practice of placenta preparation, please visit the Placenta Remedies Network website. what are the benefits of placenta remedies?
Milk Production
Anecdotal client reports indicate that breastmilk production increases vastly within a few hours of consuming placenta capsules for the first time. Even those birthing their second child who did not encapsulate with their first, report that their milk comes in much faster and in greater quantities with the capsules than without. A 1954 study by Soykova-Pachnerova found that 86.2% of women consuming dried placenta reacted positively to the treatment. Energy Levels In a pattern similar to the effects experienced with regard to milk production, clients note greatly increased energy levels upon taking dried placenta capsules - particularly in comparison to previous births without encapsulation. The delicate balance - unique to each person - of hormones, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids reintroduced into the body via placenta capsules help balance the extreme postpartum peaks and troughs. PostPartum Depression Extremely low mood in the days following birth and postpartum depression itself are becoming far better understood over time. Both can be linked with the severe and sudden lack of essential nutrients and hormones which are abundant in the placenta. A great example is Corticotrophin Releasing Hormone (CRH), the majority production of which is taken over by the placenta during pregnancy. Thus, its delivery can result in a massive dip in production while the hypothalamus resumes its role as primary CRH producer. Thus, by consuming the placenta postpartum, this dip is avoided. Recovery From Blood Loss Iron deficiency is a common problem for women, and particularly postpartum women as they will typically lose a tenth to an eighth of her blood supply during standard physiological birth, and even more in case of complication, caesarean birth, et cetera. With negative effects on lactation, fertility, and general well-being; it is important to redress imbalances quickly. The unique placental combination of high concentrations of iron, amino acids, and essential fats are quickly and easily absorbed by the body, resulting in vastly reduced bleeding time (average 5-10 days rather than 3-6 weeks) for clients. what types of remedies are available?
Raw Capsules These capsules require the least processing, and simply involve checking, cleaning, slicing, drying, and grinding the placenta into a powder which is then encapsulated. The reduced heat treatment offers the best opportunity for retention of micro and macronutrients, hormones and minerals. Steamed Capsules These capsules have an additional processing stage between cleaning and slicing, involving the placenta being steamed with warming herbs, inspired by the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine. As these amplify heat in the body they are entirely contraindicated by fever, infection, or anything else causing raised temperature. Smoothie A fresh fruit smoothie can be created from your placenta, offering the fastest and least processed option for consumption. Typically comprising elements such as banana, red berries, spinach, chia seeds, and blackstrap molasses to maximise nutritional content, smoothies are created and consumed within a few hours of birth. Tincture A tincture is created by preserving your placenta in strong alcohol over a period of six weeks. This is a potent remedy which can last you a lifetime, and is particularly beneficial during emotional, mental, and psychological instability; and is known to aid hormonal disruption from menstrual disorders, menopause, et cetera. Essence This remedy is truly the 'essence' of your placenta - its essential and core state. It is indicated for use by both yourself and your baby, operating on an energetic level to stimulate your vital force. Placenta essence is particularly useful in times of distress or imbalance, and will provide energy and strength when required. Homoeopathic Remedies The remedy 'Placenta Humanum' can be created from your placenta in two concentrations - one for you and one for your baby. Benefiting a range of symptoms throughout life, ranging through anxiety, exhaustion, pain, asthma, menstrual disorders, nappy rash, transitional stages, et cetera; this remedy can support you for many years. Balm Balms are heavier and oil-based, offering reduced appearance of caesarean birth scarring, reduced appearance of stretch marks, relief from sore or cracked nipples from breastfeeding, reduced skin inflammation from eczema/psoriasis/dermatitis, reduced appearance of skin ageing, and reduced nappy rash and baby eczema. Cream Creams are light and water-based, offering reduced appearance of caesarean birth scarring, reduced appearance of stretch marks, relief from sore or cracked nipples from breastfeeding, reduced skin inflammation from eczema/psoriasis/dermatitis, reduced appearance of skin ageing, and reduced nappy rash and baby eczema. how do i book this service?

Closing the BonesWhat is this treatment?
This healing-focused treatment is exquisitely designed to support your uniquely personal postpartum journey. Whatever form your experience has taken - from planned full-term birth, to miscarriage, to abortion, to traumatic obstetric violence; we will spend three hours together exploring your journey and providing precisely the support you personally need. This treatment option utilises multiple treatment modalities within one beautiful ceremony to provide you with complete healing on every level:
This style of treatment draws from South American birthing traditions, which feature a unique piece of equipment known as a 'Rebozo' - simply a strong, woven length of fabric. The Perfect Postpartum Package is a partnership between you as client and myself as your practitioner, working collaboratively with your expertise in your own body and birthing experiences, alongside my expertise in anatomy and technique to create a succinct and efficacious treatment plan to offer healing to your body, mind, and soul. This is an exceptional massage with particular benefits for those who have recently or long ago undergone a fertility, pregnancy, and/or birthing journey. what can i expect?
This treatment utilises a variety of hands-on and hands-free techniques to gently bring your body, mind, and soul back into harmonious balance. This treatment is the perfect gift to yourself or someone close to you; honouring and healing all aspects of your journey. There are three broad sections to the ceremony, beginning with welcoming you to your healing space and allowing you time to debrief from and explore your experiences. Next, you will be lying on a massage table, and I will work around and over you to access the areas causing you distress, occasionally requesting you to move position in order to facilitate this process. I work with vegan massage wax (you can request unscented wax if required or preferred), and will use this as a medium while working with your body. You will remain covered at all times with large towels as I work, and have full access to a range of props and supports in order to ensure you are as comfortable as possible at all times (including blankets, bolsters, pillows, et cetera). The inherent nature of this treatment means that as your therapist I come in close proximity to intimate areas, but ONLY do this using muslin cloths to keep you as safe and comfortable as possible. The final component of the ceremony comprises a Rebozo massage with fully body wrap, bone closing, and deep guided meditation to fully reintegrate all parts of you back into yourself and allow you to move forward with ease into the next stage of life. You can remain fully clothed for this treatment, as long as your clothes are soft and flexible, and not tight or restrictive in any way. Between client sessions I enforce a stringent cleaning protocol including anti-bacterial wipe down, laundering of all linens at 90°C, and additional ultraviolet sterilisation of my treatment space. what can you treat?

Ranging through the end of a relationship, moving to a new location, beginning a new job, setting out on a healing journey, resolving trauma, and much more besides; this truly magical treatment will support, guide, and provide healing for you - whichever path you are on. how do i book this service?

Bengkung Belly Binding
What is bengkung binding?
Malaysian Bengkung Belly Binding is one form of the almost universal practice of binding the torso after birthing, in order to support and protect the area while encouraging recovery and healing. The sight of modern "waist-trainer" and other body-sculpting garments are, I'm sure, common to us all by now, so the concept is widely accepted - but is the modality ideal? what makes bengkung binding different?
Covering a much wider area than the aforementioned "waist-trainers" - breast line to below the hips - the Bengkung Bind eliminates the tendency for shorter compression garments to isolate to the abdomen. Such an isolating approach can have the effect of pushing the pelvic floor muscles and organs out of place - or even into complete prolapse. Further, the longer length of the Bengkung Bind also acts to draw in the ribcage and hips, something which is impossible for a waist-trainer which does not even cover those areas. The Bengkung Bind is also specifically designed by its very nature to be personally fitted to your body specifically, meaning every aspect of your glorious individuality can be accommodated for, rather than being shoved and crammed into unforgiving elastic. what can you treat?
The pelvic area is commonly neglected to the point of malfunction from the general day-to-day sitting, lack of exercise, lack of strengthening, et cetera; but never is this more true than during the period of time following delivering a baby. Bengkung Belly Binding confers a whole raft of postpartum benefits, including but not limited to:
By making the investment in your own pelvic health through Bengkung Binding , you will be reclaiming that which is rightfully yours, and beginning the journey to a healthier recovery and body overall. how do i book this service?
