Placenta Services Price List
Raw Start Standard Prep - $300
The process involves dehydrating raw placenta slowly and carefully until dry and then processing down into a powder to encapsulate. The hormones are said to be very sensitive to heat so this process is done carefully to retain as much potency as possible. This is the most requested style of encapsulation and if you are in doubt as to what you need, this is probably going to cover your needs. This is done at a temperature that reflects current food safety recommendations (standard).
Steamed on Lemon and Ginger - $300*
The placenta is first steamed over warming herbs before being dehydrated and ground down into capsules. This can be done without herbs if you wish. This is a great option for those that follow TCM and it's use of warming foods after birth. It is also popular with those that feel uncomfortable with dehydration only. Steamed placenta yields less pills generally than a standard prep but it has been considered that steaming may make some nutrients more bio-available than other methods. It is important to stop taking these capsules at any signs of infection as per TCM guidelines.

Cord Keepsakes - FREE
Included with any placenta preparation is a free cord keepsake. This is done by shaping and drying the umbilical cord during the drying process. Any basic shape or letter, even a name if the cord is long enough, can be done as a keepsake. Hearts and spirals are the clear favourites and eternity symbols look cute as well. Straight pieces of cord highlight the arteries and vein too. The final keepsake will depend on the type of cord your baby makes. Some are interesting and varied so may not give a certain style but I do have a few methods to get the most out of any variations of normal.

Natural (FREE with encapsulation) and Colour Prints from $20
I offer a few varieties of placenta prints for you to keep. Blood prints are done before preparation making sure the placenta remains food safe. Colour prints can be done using a variety of supplies but the vibrant colour technique isn't technically food safe as the dyes come in contact with the placenta. I can use food safe dyes but you must consider that the placenta will absorb anything that comes in contact with it regardless of whether it is used in food decoration or not so if you are sensitive to preservatives and colour it may not be for you. There are as few different techniques so let me know what you are after and I will let you know your options.
If you are wanting a keepsake and would like to see some examples, please head over to my gallery section as there are a few there to look over.
Print, Cord Keepsake and Burial Package - $200
Occasionally, the placenta can't be consumed or the mother doesn't want that option but the placenta can still be buried. This package covers picking up and storage of the placenta until processing, a blood print or a colour print, a cord keepsake, the placenta to be packaged in biodegradable but easy to handle materials and sanitation of my work space once done. The placenta can then be buried or frozen until you're ready to bury. If you are wanting to bury overseas, I recommend encapsulating or drying to powder form at least to make shipping/travel easier. I can help with customs information if you are wanting that. Travel fees may apply if you live outside of Rockhampton.
I am always happy to send through a picture or two to your phone/email if you didn't get to see the placenta and would like to but please keep in mind that my camera phone isn't HD.
Prices are current as of the first of July 2016.
