Placenta Encapsulation - Perth

Why choose Kristin?

  1. Experience & Training

  • I have over 14 years of experience and have encapsulated close to 1,300 placentas for mothers across Perth. (Previously known as BodyWise BirthWise)

  • I am dual-certified. First in 2012 with Placenta Benefits (PBi), and then through the Association of Placenta Preparation Arts (APPA) in 2016 - still widely regarded as the gold standard in placenta training.

  • I maintain annual certification in Bloodborne Pathogens and Infection Control, in line with occupational health and safety standards for handling human tissue.

  • I have earned the trust of midwives, obstetricians and doulas, and have a strong base of returning clients who come back for their second, third, and even fourth babies!

  • I don’t overbook; I limit the number of bookings I accept each month, so you receive the personalised, reliable and professional service you deserve.

  • I have never received a report of adverse effects from any of my clients using their placenta capsules.

  • Over the years, I've received countless heartfelt testimonials from the families I've supported through this service.

“Thank you so much Kristin, for everything. If I were having any more children, I would be getting placenta encapsulation again.

I continue to tell people about my experience with having my placenta encapsulated. The benefits have definitely been worthwhile. I just take one little capsule and within one day I am full of energy and life - even with a small amount of sleep. Zoé is thriving and I can’t thank you enough for that.

My husband and I have been talking about the benefits. We found that I have more energy and feeling good overall, my postpartum bleeding went away within 4 weeks. Compared to my son – which was 12 weeks. My milk supply has gone well and Zoé is 6kgs!

Your products are amazing and I hope to get some for friends who having any more children in the future. Thanks once again.”

2. Safety, Integrity & Privacy

  • I follow all APPA and Department of Health guidelines, including strict protocols for handling, sanitising, storage, and identification.

  • I do not make therapeutic claims about the use or benefits of placenta encapsulation, in line with TGA regulations.

  • I have always held full insurance coverage for placenta encapsulation services.

  • I was the first provider in Perth to introduce personalised, branded Placenta Kits (since 2017), compliant with the Department of Health’s Packaging and Transport of Pathology Specimens and Infection Control Guidelines.

  • Every booking includes a Placenta Kit - this is not an option or an additional charge. It comes to you flat-packed, and is compact, discreet, and easy to take to your place of birth.

3. Respectful, Confidential Care

  • I never intrude on your birth space. Even if you invite me in, I do not ask for photos or promotional content.

  • I am highly sensitive to your privacy and rest, and always collect placentas discreetly and respectfully, often without entering your room at all.

  • Your placenta is only ever handled by me, from collection through to processing and capsule delivery.

  • I do not outsource any part of the process or allow unqualified individuals to assist.

  • I do not use promotional photos of your placenta, capsules, or labelled containers that could reveal your identity.

4. Strict Quality Standards

  • I work on one placenta at a time - from start to finish - even with multiple sets of equipment.

  • My preparation methods include:

    • Proper identification procedures

    • Temperature and dehydration controls

    • Aseptic techniques

    • Use of hospital-grade cleaning agents and PPE

    • Full compliance with the Australian Government Department of Health Infection Control Guidelines

  • I never use essential oils in the steaming water, or burn incense or smudge sticks over the placenta - there is no evidence to support the safety or efficacy of such practices.

  • I work from a dedicated workspace using dehydrators with top-positioned fans only.

5. Capsule & Packaging Care

  • I only use clear capsules, so you can easily see the integrity of their contents. I do not provide artificially flavoured capsules.

  • Capsules are packed in rigid, recyclable plastic containers and not glass, which poses a breakage risk that can render capsules unsafe.

  • Capsules are typically finished and posted within 24-36 hours of receiving the placenta, so you can begin benefiting from them as soon as possible, and help buffer the hormonal shift of the early days after birth.

  • Capsules come with a comprehensive booklet that contains all the information you require.

  • I only used Australia Post Express Service, and all parcels require a signature on delivery. If you anticipate staying in the hospital for a few days, I can send it to another address (e.g. family/friend).
