Honoring the womb’s wisdom, nourishing the body’s return

The placenta, often called the “Tree of Life,” is more than a biological organ—it is your baby’s first companion, a sacred guide, and the bridge of nourishment, oxygen, and protection throughout pregnancy. From the moment of conception, it holds space for growth and life, preparing your baby for their journey earthside.

Across cultures and time, the placenta has been revered not only for its vital function, but also for its spiritual and ancestral significance, recognized as a vessel of life force and a link between spirit and matter. From the Rapa Nui of Easter Island to the Māori of Aotearoa to Navajo traditions, the placenta has long been honored as a symbol of connection to lineage, land, and identity.

Today, placenta encapsulation offers a meaningful way to continue this reverence, while nourishing the postpartum body from within. Once steamed, dried, and placed into capsules, the placenta returns vital nutrients to the birthing person’s system, including iron, B vitamins, and hormones that are believed to:

Support hormonal balance

Improve mood and emotional well-being

Enhance energy and overall recovery

Promote healthy milk production

Replenish what was lost through birth

This practice is chosen by many not only for its physiological benefits, but also as a ceremonial act of reclaiming postpartum care rooted in tradition, intuition, and love.

Placenta encapsulation is a gentle way to carry forward the sacred connection between body, baby, and earth ~ honoring what has nourished life and allowing it to nourish you in return.

As part of this offering, you may also receive a Placenta Art print. A vibrant, one-of-a-kind impression of your own placenta made with food-grade natural coloring. This piece is gifted with love to celebrate and honor your unique journey, should you wish to receive it.

Placenta encapsulation is more than a service. It is a continuation of the bond between you and your baby, and a gentle reminder of the power that lives within you still.
