An ancient practice in a modern world

What is Placentophagia ?

Placentophagia -- the practice of consuming the placenta has been observed throughout history in many

parts of the world. This amazing organ is far too often unappreciated and sadly it is most commonly tossed into biohazard waste bins for disposal.

In Western cultures, consuming the placenta is often viewed as barbaric, but thanks to new information about the surprising benefits, there has been a recent push amongst young mothers to consume their placenta after giving birth.

Your placenta does an amazing job of nourishing your developing baby. Did you know your placenta is made up of 50% of your cells and 50% of your baby’s cells, our cells help repair our body, imagine what it could do for you and your baby after birth

Raw Placenta Encapsulation

Unlike the Traditional Chinese Medicine preparation of the placenta, when processing a placenta raw we do not steam the placenta during the process. We simply forgo the steaming process.

Leaving out the steaming process can save the vital nutrients and hormones that may be depleted once the placenta has been heated above 55 degrees. Some believe that steaming the placenta destroys a few of the essential nutrients. Using this option provides a burst of energy upfront and can be of great value in stabilizing the hormones.

This service includes encapsulation, instructions on consuming and storage, picking up your placenta from your birthplace and delivery of placenta capsules.

    “During my first pregnancy I was referred to Brooke to have my placenta encapsulated which I did and had a great experience - lots of milk supply, no hormonal swings and my energy levels were good too. Now, in my second pregnancy I am attending her prenatal yoga classes and I find them awesome :) with lots of information and what I really like are the practical tips to empower and prepare us for birth. I am definitely having my placenta encapsulated again as I had a great experience last time. Definitely recommend Brooke for her services!”

    “Brooke was highly recommended to me for her placenta encapsulation service. Brooke had a wealth of knowledge to share with us regarding this process and was professional, gentle and supportive throughout the time we spent with her. We were so thrilled with the encapsulation service and with Brooke that we asked her to teach us baby massage classes in our home. Thank you so much Brooke!”

    “I was really excited when I heard about placenta encapsulation and its benefits. I also chose to have a placenta smoothie, which I drank the day my bub was born. Eight months on I have maintained a really strong milk supply, had heaps of energy and no baby blues.”

    “After the birth of my third child I decided to give placenta encapsulation a go as I found it difficult recovering from the first two births. Not only did I recover well and fast, I had a great milk supply and my skin glowed! Would definitely do it again.”

    Brooke lovingly prepared placenta capsules for my second pregnancy and I found that my milk came in faster and stronger. My moods were more stable and even despite all the hormonal changes. So happy I chose to encapsulate my precious placenta.
