Honoring the postpartum portal through ceremony & placenta encapsulation
What we believe & what we do
NO ONE- not even a doctor, or hospital, can take your placenta away from you, it is inherently YOURS.
With tender reverence for the encapsulation process, we carefully tend to, honor & return your placenta back into your loving arms. We are here to protect & transform this benevolent spirit into medicine that will nourish your physical, emotional, mental & spriritual bodies- the same way it nourished your baby, who was their “twin soul” for so long.
Powerful Placenta is fiercly committed to preserving these ancestral ways & upholding the sacred bubble surrounding birthing people & mothers with the care & respect that everyone deserves. We believe in the ancient wisdom that you & your body contain. We believe that reclaiming the honoring rites to this organ & the portal of birth & postpartum is not only your right; it is the strength & support you will need to carry you through these life-changing times of transition. You already ARE the most potent medicine you possess.
