placenta encapsulation
Placenta encapsulation is a powerful, sacred, organic medicine to replenish and nourish the healing mother in her fourth trimester.
Congratulations on your pregnancy and welcome to Mother Organic, providing placenta encapsulation to mothers in the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Byron Bay, Northern Rivers, Tweed Heads area.
My name is Kate, and I am a mother of 3 little girls. I have had my fair share of postpartum emotions, both physically & mentally, trying to navigate them as holistically as possible, but I was never pointed in the direction I am in today. How I yearn to be able to go back time and give myself this opportunity. Instead, I am here to help support you in your postpartum & beyond.
After many years of delving in natural remedies, discovering my passion for women’s health and support I became a doula. This opened up a whole new world for me! Researching the art of placenta encapsulation & wanting to be able to help other women support their postpartum. After lots of research and firsthand experiences with my wonder clients realised who had preached to me the wonderful outcomes of consuming their placentas! It’s hard to dismiss when so many women swear by it, I only wish I had experienced this firsthand myself…. maybe it’s not too late.
How can I not as a doula not provide my mothers to experience all the benefits their placentas have to offer. Our ancestors used to honor their placentas via burial, placement in a specific location or consume it. Let’s bring back our sacred traditions, lets honor what our bodies can do as women. If our placentas can create life and nutrients to our babies imagine what it can do for us.
I want more women to have access to this incredible medicine that was created by YOU, and I believe has such a sacred role to play in your postpartum journey.

the process
Step 01.
Click the book now button and complete the booking form in which you will receive an email with details and an invoice where you can choose to pay a deposit ($100) or payment in full. Remainder of payment will be due at 38 weeks gestation.
Please ensure once you have sent in a submission you do follow up with replies via email as at time extra information will be required. Check you spam or junk!
Notify your healthcare providers of your decision to encapsulate your placenta, they will usually provide a container and ice pack. It is always good to have a backup, take a 3L container, esky and x4 ice packs to your birth. *Placenta must be on ice within 1 hour after birth.
Please inform me straight away if your placenta needs to go to pathology. Usually, they only need a small amount, and you can keep the rest but if the full placenta is taken you will unfortunately be unable to encapsulate as it’s at risk of contamination and I will recommend the placenta dust package instead.
NOTE: some hospitals may not be able to refrigerate your placenta, please enquire ahead of time.
