Your placenta is truly extraordinary. Itโs the organ that grew with your baby, nourished them, and kept them safe for all those months. For many families, it feels right to honour it after birth, and there are lots of beautiful ways to do that.

๐Placenta prints โ I can create a print for you, capturing its unique shape and beauty, almost like a โtree of lifeโ on paper, can simply use the blood (as in the pic, or use a dash of colour of you prefer)
๐Encapsulation โ there are a couple people in NI who can prepare you capsules for you, it's believed that these support recovery and energy in the postnatal period. If this is for you, give them a wee shout ๐๐life.doulas
๐Keepsakes & rituals โ From planting it under a tree, to using it in a ceremony, some families love to mark its importance in their own special way.
*โIndonesian families bury the babyโs placenta with paintbrushes to bring artistic talent to the child the mother who dreams her offspring will be a writer buries a pen along with the placenta. In Bali a prayer written in Sanskrit which will bring spiritual wealth.โ
Thereโs no โrightโ or โwrongโ choice, itโs about what feels meaningful to you, and if you don't even look at it, it's great too, they will get rid of it :)
If honouring your placenta is something youโd love to explore, Iโm here to have a chat.
