How is your placenta prepared?
Dulcie Lane operates with the highest sanitation, preparation and safety standards when preparing your placenta
of Placenta Preparation
Traditional Method
My workspace is firstly sanitised and prepared with protective plastic covering and bluey pads. This process is done for every placenta, and PPE is replaced for every
new preparation to prevent cross contamination. As a placenta preparation specialist, and to prevent coming in contact with your blood, I wear full PPE including gloves, apron with sleeves, hair covers, hair net, goggles and a mask.
​
Your placenta is then inspected for any variations including cord insertion, true knots, calcification, blood clots, odours, colour, accessory lobes, size and any variations to the foetal and/or maternal plates.
​
Variations can be normal and are no cause for concern. Each placenta is unique and vary from one to another through the different variations as explained above. Your placenta is then given a good rinse and clean with cold running water.
The umbilical cord is cut and drained of any remaining blood, and is then arranged into your desired shape as requested upon booking. It is then placed into the dehydrator to be dried.
​
Your placenta is then placed into the steamer pot.
When the placenta has finished steaming, it is then sliced into small pieces. Your placenta slices are arranged neatly in the dehydrator.
Your placenta will be in the dehydrator until it is dry enough to be ground up into powder.
​
While your placenta is in the dehydrator, if you have opted to have a placenta tincture made, this is now prepared.
While your placenta is dehydrating, the workspace is cleaned and all disposable items disposed of. All reusable items are washed and then sanitised to kill any bacteria, blood borne pathogens and microscopic residual blood. Items are then air dried and stored away for the next client.
​
The workspace is sanitised and cleaned ready for the next day.
On day two of preparation the workspace is again set up with protective coverings, bluey pads and PPE. Your placenta is then grinded into a powder.
The placenta powder is placed into natural, flavourless gelatin capsules, or flavoured capsules for easy consumption.
As each placenta is different in shape and size, the number of capsules yielded vary from person to person.
Your placenta capsules are placed into my jars and labelled with your name, the date and how many capsules you have created from your amazing placenta!
Your capsules, tincture, cord keepsake and print are then packaged and delivered to you (if living locally) or posted to you if you live outside of Wagga Wagga.
The placenta is the life force and sacred connection between mother and child...where it all begins
Raw Method
of Placenta Preparation
The Raw Method consists of the same steps that the Traditional method follows, minus the steaming process.
Your raw placenta slices are placed in the dehydrator longer than the Traditional Preparation Method. This is due to the raw placenta containing more blood and moisture, which takes longer to dehydrate as it was not steamed prior.
Once the placenta slices have dried, they are then grinded into a powder which is placed into capsules for you to consume.
Your placenta capsules are placed into my jars and labelled with your name, the date and how many capsules you have created from your amazing placenta!
Your capsules, tincture, cord keepsake and print are then packaged and delivered to you (if living locally) or posted to you if you live outside of Wagga Wagga.
