Placenta Encapsulation in Sydney
Supporting Your Postpartum Recovery – Naturally, Safely, and Professionally
Your Placenta: The Organ with a Side Hustle
Let’s get real. Your placenta just spent nine months growing a whole human. That’s not just impressive — it’s magic. And while most people toss it aside like leftovers, you? You know better.
Welcome to the world of placenta encapsulation, where we don’t waste power — we reclaim it. If you’re searching for placenta encapsulation near me in Sydney, consider this your sign from the uterus.
So… What Is a Placenta, Anyway?
Think of your placenta as the unsung hero of pregnancy. It delivers oxygen, nutrients and hormones to your baby like a total boss. It also clears out the waste and keeps everything flowing beautifully.
And while yours may have had a unique personality — maybe an anterior placenta or posterior placenta, maybe even low lying placenta or the bold move of placenta previa — that doesn’t mean it wasn’t working overtime.
Sometimes, placentas like to get a little dramatic (I see you, placenta accreta, circumvallate placenta, or a surprise placental abruption). If you’ve experienced any complications like placenta previa symptoms or placental abruption symptoms, don’t worry — we’ll chat and make sure it’s still safe to encapsulate.
Why Encapsulate?
Here’s the deal: your placenta is packed with iron, hormones like human placental lactogen, and all kinds of juicy goodness your body actually made for you. When processed into placenta capsules or placenta pills, it may help:
✨ Prevent postnatal depression
✨ Balance your mood
✨ Support milk supply
✨ Boost energy
✨ Help you feel like yourself again (or at least a more rested version)
It’s not witchcraft — it’s wisdom. Thousands of women swear by it and honestly? I’m one of them.
What Makes My Placenta Encapsulation Different?
Let’s just say I don’t dabble — I deliver.
✔️ Nearly 12 years and over 5000 placentas prepared with love, precision and zero ick
✔️ Pick-up within hours (if you give me a heads-up that you’re in labour)
✔️ Capsules delivered back to your door, usually within 48 hours
✔️ No fluff — just safe, clean, soul-honouring service from a pro who cares
And yes, this includes full instructions, a cute little jar and a sense of “damn, I did something amazing for myself.”
“How Much Is a Placenta Worth?”
Honestly? She’s priceless. But in real-world terms — my placenta encapsulation service starts at $300 and include a cord keepsake, collection, prep and delivery to some areas of Sydney – please see my booking form for more info. There’s also optional extras (because you deserve deluxe): tinctures, smoothies, mother essences — the works.
The truth is, I haven’t raised my prices since 2017 as I want all women to experience this amazing gift your placenta has given you!
Oh, and One More Thing…
I serve birthing families all over Sydney. If you’re not sure whether your hospital or home birth location is included — just ask. I don’t bite (unless someone disrespects the placenta — then we’ll talk). Check out my booking form too – it has most areas covered.
If you’ve Googled “what is placenta” or “placenta abruption” at 2 a.m. during a Braxton Hicks binge, I see you. You’re my kind of person.
Book Your Spot — Before Baby Arrives
I only take a limited number of bookings each month because this is sacred work. If you’re planning ahead (go you!), or already close to birth — let’s lock it in.
- I do charge a $50 rush fee if baby arrives before payment, so always best to book early!

The consumption of the placenta is called Placentophagia.
For centuries women have enjoyed the benefits of consuming their placenta post-birth. A growing number of women in Western culture are now becoming aware of these benefits.
Clients have reported that placenta consumption may:
- Significantly reduce post-birth bleeding
- Encourage a quick and healthy milk supply
- Replenish essential hormones such as oxytocin and CRH (stress reducer hormone)
- Replenish essential nutrients such as Vitamin B6 and Iron
- Prevent the baby blues and post-natal depression
- Leave new mothers feeling calmer
- Give new mums the energy to cope with caring for a newborn
The known list of hormones and nutrients giving placentas their healing properties are:
- Hormone of Love – for pain relief and baby bonding. Is produced during breastfeeding to promote healthy bonding between mother and baby.
- Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin (hCG) – precursor to oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone
- Human Chorionic Somatommotropin (hCS) – stimulates mammory development
- Progesterone and oestrogen – support maternal endometrium (lining of uterus)
- Relaxin – softens ligaments
- CRH – stress-reducer found in high levels in later stages of pregnancy
- Growth factors – in the form of cytokins & hormones stimulate cellular growth. They have anti-inflammatory properties, aid blood circulation, wound tissue healing and has an analgesic effect
- Placenta Stem Cells – provide the new cells for regeneration of tissue and growth factors enhance their ability to multiply much faster
- Iron – essential for absorption of oxygen in the cells needed for cellular repair after childbirth
- Vitamin B6 – aids in the making of antibodies to help keep the immune system strong. It also promotes the production of red blood cells and helps in the normal function of the brain
- Vitamins A, D, E, K – all essential and needed for cellular metabolism, immune function and growth
- Vitamins C, B complex
There are many ways to consume the placenta after birth. The most modern and non-invasive way to consume the placenta is in capsule form.
The encapsulation process most popular in the Western world is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) techniques, where the placenta is considered a powerful and sacred medicine – full of life force. Putting dried placenta powder into capsules, known as placenta encapsulation, has become very popular in recent years and has now been available as a service here in Australia for some time.
I have completed the Placenta Encapsulation Specialist Training and also courses in Bloodborne Pathogens and Universal Precautions and Food Safety.

TCM Placenta Encapsulation – $300 ($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.
You can expect a yield of around 120 capsules with this method based on an average size baby of 3.2kg.
Raw Placenta Encapsulation - $300 ($50 extra for twins)
Raw placenta encapsulation is dried raw without steaming. This process is a simple way to process the placenta that helps to retain the maximum nutrients. This is a great choice for those that would like to get the most from their placenta.
You can expect a yield of around 150 capsules with this method based on an average size baby of 3.2kg.
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 with every order!
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

Despite a traumatic birth, I had an amazing birth experience and early postnatal period. I love being a mom and am happy I chose to encapsulate my placenta with Georgie. I feel fortunate that I didn’t get any serious bouts with depression like I know some moms experience because of crazy hormone swings we experience. I can’t say this was a cause and effect phenomenon, but I can say that I will 100% do it when I have another baby.
