A Bit About Me
As a Placenta Specialist, my mission is to support mothers in their postpartum recovery through the powerful benefits of placenta encapsulation and holistic postpartum care. I believe that the postpartum period is a sacred transition - a time when mothers need deep nourishment, emotional support, and community care to thrive.
Through my work, I aim to normalise placenta encapsulation as a natural, evidence-based way to replenish essential nutrients, balance hormones, and support overall well-being after birth. My goal is to empower mothers with knowledge, high-quality placenta remedies, and a holistic approach to healing, so they feel strong, supported, and nurtured in their journey into motherhood.
At Beyond Birth Collective, I am passionate about creating a village-style community where mothers feel heard, held, and valued. Whether through my placenta encapsulation services or postpartum care, my heart is in helping women reclaim their strength, honour their postpartum experience, and embrace motherhood with confidence and vitality.
Let’s create a nourished, supported, and thriving postpartum experience - together.
I offer a range of services which can be tailored to suit each individual.

Placenta Offerings
​
Placenta Encapsulation Raw Method - $444
The RAW Method of placenta encapsulation is designed to retain the maximum nutritional and hormonal benefits of your placenta. In this method, the placenta is processed at a lower temperature, without steaming to preserve its natural enzymes and nutrients. This approach is ideal for those who prefer a more natural preparation process and are seeking the full potency of their capsules.
​​
Placenta Encapsulation Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Method - $480
The Traditional Chinese Medicine method of Placenta Encapsulation is inspired by ancient practises, emphasising warmth and balance during the postpartum period. In this method, the placenta is gently steamed with warming ingredients like ginger, lemon or herbs before being dehydrated and ground into capsules. This preparation is believed to promote energy, restore hormonal balance, and support overall recovery in a nurturing, gentle way.

Placenta Encapsulation Frequently Asked Questions
WHY I LOVE PLACENTOPHAGY
In the womb with your baby, nature has created the perfect organ that supports baby until birth. The placenta makes oxygen diffusion, excretes baby’s waste, supplies nutrition, and more. It is also beneficial for the mother during the postpartum period.
Placenta encapsulation is the process of taking a a placenta, after it has finished its job of nourishing your baby, and safely preparing it in a way that allows it to be put into capsules, so that they can be swallowed like a pill.
Consumption of the placenta, also known as placentophagy, is a practice that dates back to ancient times and is still common in certain cultures today.
Placentophagy, is the act of mammals eating the placenta of their young after childbirth.
The placenta contains high levels of prostaglandin which stimulates the reduction of the uterus - bringing it back to pre pregnancy size. The placenta also contains small amounts of oxytocin which eases birth stress and causes the smooth muscles around the mammary cells to contract and eject milk. Proponents also believe it can help prevent postpartum depression, may help with pain control and replace depleted iron.
