What sets me apart from most encapsulators?

I'm based in Zetland so around 15 minutes drive to Randwick & RPA Hospitals and around 20 minutes for the North Shore - Mater, RNS & North Shore Private - this means I can usually collect within an hour or two at the most!

I pride myself on a fast turnaround with overnight delivery of capsules in 99.9% of the time (unless at a birth myself)
Did you know that most encapsulators deliver the day after?

I have been providing this service to the women and families of Sydney for over 4 years now - who would you feel confident in entrusting your placenta to? A person who is just starting out or someone who has serviced over 1000 clients?

Why is this helpful to me?

The sooner you start taking your capsules after the birth, the better resistance to the rollercoaster of hormones that are produced when your milk comes in aka the 'baby blues' - will commence much sooner!

Which areas do you collect from?

I work with clients giving birth at the following locations - RPA, Prince of Wales, Royal Hospital for Women and the North Shore - Mater and Royal North Shore Public & Private and those home birthing their babes in this vicinity.
​
This service includes encapsulation, instructions on consuming and storage, picking up your placenta from your birthplace and FREE delivery to the above hospitals or areas of Sydney. I may be available to support your postpartum in other areas too by request.


TCM Placenta Encapsulation - $280 ($50 extra for twins)
In the Traditional Chinese Method of encapsulation, I steam the placenta with chilli, ginger and lemon before dehydrating - this is said to help balance and keep the natural Qi (energy) within the placenta. I then ground into powder and encapsulate. It is believed that the state of mind one carries while working with the placenta will be absorbed into the medicine, so I ensure a healing focus is maintained throughout the process. Using this preparation is thought to bring out the placenta's healing and tonifying properties as well as warming and healing the uterus.

**I use capsule shells that are kosher certified, gluten free and vegetarian/vegan friendly. - you can expect a yield of between 100-200 capsules**


Raw Placenta Encapsulation - $280 ($50 extra for twins)
Unlike the Traditional Chinese Medicine preparation of the placenta, when processing a placenta raw I do not steam the placenta during the process. I 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.

Placenta Smoothie - $80
To be consumed as soon as possible after birth of placenta. The smoothie is made of a 3cm piece of fresh placenta (the rest can be prepared into capsules or other remedies), a handful of fresh organic berries of choice, 1 whole banana and water. Simple and delicious

Clients have reported a raw placenta smoothie may:
Help stop postpartum haemorrhaging and trigger the body to quickly heal internal wounds
Significantly reduce blood loss
Give the body an immediate supply of essential vitamins and nutrients
Provide the body with an immediate boost of hormones to begin healing the body after birth
Give the mother an immediate feeling of strength and balance
Most mothers who have the smoothie report milk ‘comes in’ at day 2 postpartum rather than 3-4 days postpartum
Eases the hormonal transition to postpartum and helps prevent the ‘baby blues’ around the time when milk engorges the breasts


Placenta Tincture - $80
A small part of the raw placenta is added to a brandy base and left to ferment for 6 weeks. The placental tincture is strong and clients have reported it helps with hormonal balancing, including PMS (will keep indefinitely if stored properly).

The tincture is a fantastic follow-up once your capsules run out - by taking the tincture you will experience all the wonderful effects of the capsules long-term.


Mother Essence - $50
A small part of the raw placenta is added to distilled water, allowed to rest, strained and brandy is added. It takes 24hours to create the essence.

Clients have reported the mother essence heals on an energetic or vibrational level and may stimulate the ‘vital force’, help in times of distress, imbalance, give energy and strength when ill. It can be also be given to your baby in times of distress (will keep indefinitely if stored properly).


Cord Keepsake - FREE
To honour and treasure the umbilical cord that connected your new baby to your womb throughout pregnancy, we remove it from the placenta, shape into a keepsake e.g. a word, a spiral or a heart (depending on length of cord) and then dehydrate it


Tree of Life Nurturing Placenta Package - $390 ($50 extra for twins)
Our nurturing package includes placenta encapsulation, tincture, essence and cord keepsake.


Tree of Life Nurturing Newborn Mother Package - $470 ($50 extra for twins)
Our nurturing newborn mother package includes smoothie within hours of collection, placenta encapsulation, tincture, essence and cord keepsake.


* For existing doula clients, the placenta encapsulation fee is $240 for Raw or TCM.
