Placental tissue contains naturally occurring compounds linked with comfort, wellbeing, and postpartum healing. One of the most fascinating is something researchers call POEF, or Placental Opioid Enhancing Factor.

POEF is thought to enhance the body’s natural pain relieving response, helping support comfort after birth when soreness, cramping, stitches, and general physical exhaustion can feel overwhelming.

Placental tissue also contains endorphins, the body’s own feel good chemicals, which are associated with calm, relief, and a greater sense of wellbeing during recovery.

When physical discomfort feels softer, there is often more space for therapeutic rest, feeding, bonding, and settling into those first weeks with your baby. You are the remedy.

Born in Canberra at 7:01am, right as the morning was beginning.

An Aries baby arriving with sunrise energy feels pretty fitting
bold
fresh
and very ready to be here.

This placenta grew behind the scenes while a new little personality was taking shape.

You are the remedy.

Serotonin, often called the “feel good” neurotransmitter, is actually produced by the placenta during pregnancy.

For years it was thought the placenta was simply a passive organ, but we now know it plays an active role in supporting both mother and baby. Placental serotonin contributes to regulating sleep cycles, supporting mood, and helping with cognitive clarity.

This is one of the reasons many mothers report feeling more balanced, better rested, and more like themselves in the postpartum period when supporting their recovery intentionally.

The placenta truly is more than we’ve been taught. You are the remedy.

A true knot.

The first I’ve seen in years!!

Formed quietly in utero, carried the entire pregnancy.
An actual knot in the umbilical cord, not just a loop or twist.

And yet, still protected.
Wharton’s jelly cushions the cord and helps keep blood flow moving. And still baby made it earthside safely.

Resilience starts long before birth!

Asking the important questions Jo Clay MLA Canberra mothers deserve better

Canberra Health Services is investigating a spike in the number of Caesarean section births at the Centenary Hospital for Women…

My favourite mug, bought online from a Melbourne shop during covid. Not for the weak.

This is your sign to keep your placenta!

The feedback I get from mums who’ve done both, one postpartum without capsules then one with, is almost always the same.

An easier recovery the second time.

There are obviously so many variables but there has to be so much more to the placenta that we’re not even talking about yet.

Together since 2012.
Married in 2025.

Somewhere in between..
I started encapsulating placentas after our firstborn Marley in 2021, then welcomed Rex in 2023.
When I first told Inigo what I wanted to try do for a living he thought it was the most bizarre, horrifying idea he’d ever heard… and genuinely hoped I’d forget about it.
Now Mr Placenta is constantly updating bits in my lab and checking those stock levels.

Growth. 😂

You are the remedy.

Tonight’s placenta.
Dense, vascular, doing exactly what it was meant to do.

The detail in the vessels never gets old.
Every time it’s a reminder of just how hard this organ works behind the scenes!
