So placenta is catching on around the world! I should have guessed the politicians would jump on the placenta bandwagon pretty quickly. Kenya is in a “gestational period” and will soon “give birth” - thus the Placenta Party.

According to these two, Larry King and Sarah Palin are on board with the Placenta Party as well! I’ll have my people call their people to confirm…

Congratulations goes out to Fallon Green, PBi’s professional Placenta Encapsulation Specialist in San Diego, California! She joins specialist, Brandi Ridinger in the southern CA area, specifically servicing the Mission Valley Area. She’s on a mission to support women AFTER birth and is excited to help women have a great postpartum experience, using Traditional Chinese Medicine combined with Placenta Benefits - what a winning combination!

After a scheduled C-Section Fallon found herself a changed person. She suffered from the ‘baby blues’ and had no idea that she would be so physically exhausted and stressed after the birth of her daughter, Ziyah. Unfortunately, she came to learn of the benefits of placenta encapsulation too late. No one had explained to her that her very own body supplied her with a natural resource to help get her through this difficult period.

She is now on a mission to make sure EVERYONE knows about the benefits of placentophagy!

“I truly believe that the body has a natural ability to heal itself which is also why I’m completing my M.S in Oriental Medicine with a focus on Women’s Health, Fertility and Labor & Delivery. My aim is to empower mothers throughout their postpartum journey with education, healing and support.” - Fallon Green, PES

Thank you, Fallon, for joining us on this important mission to help new mothers have the best postpartum period possible!

Lilly Mason is PBi’s newest Placenta Encapsulation Specialist in Lawrence, KS. Lilly has been working with PBi’s Specialist Mentor out there, and is looking forward to helping women with their postpartum recovery, naturally.

“The birth of my second child and my recovery process convinced me the first few months of a new baby’s life are a very vulnerable time for families and that women need extra support during this time. So I started looking for ways to help women through post-partum challenges. One of my co-apprentices introduced me to the Placenta Benefits process of making placenta medicine.

Many women experience post partum as a confusing, painful and exhausting time, and for so many years we have been hushed into the closet by a society that has no real help to offer. Well the good news is that consuming your placenta can really help smooth out the rockiness of “the 4th trimester”. The even better news is that PBi has developed a method for processing your placenta that makes it so easy to eat, nothing messy, nothing “weird”, just peacefully recycling the amazing organ you grew back into your body. “

Thank you, Lilly, for continuing the PBi tradition of placenta encapsulation in Lawrence, KS! We are proud to have you in the PBi Network of Placenta Encapsulation Specialists.

Wisconsin is an up and coming area for placenta encapsulation! Bridget Hirata has just completed her training in under 2 months! She is now offering PBi Placenta Encapsulation Services for Madison, Wisconsin and surrounding areas.

Bridget is the mother of two children, born in 2004 and 2009. As well as being a wife and mother she works part time as a chiropractic assistant, in a wellness clinic that specializes in chiropractic obstetrics and pediatrics.

While Bridget did not encapsulate her own children’s placentas, learning of its benefits several months too late, she was a proud “placenta mover” - meaning that she kept her placenta for 5 years, moving it with her twice, always having the best intention to plant a fruit tree. (How many of you out there are ‘placenta movers’? I know there are quite a few!)

When she finally did plant bare root raspberry bushes in the backyard, the family planted four fruit bushes; two were planted with placentas (her daughter’s and finally her son’s after five years) and two without. Within two months the two that were planted on top of placentas had grown a foot and a half over the two that had not been planted with placentas. Not only did they grow taller and have more leaves, but within three months of planting them they enjoyed a handful of berries off of each plant.

“I wished that I would have found out about this six months sooner. Late in the summer I was showing my out of town guests the difference in the four plants and explaining what placenta encapsulation was, I came back in the house and went into the bathroom and cried. I wish I would have had that nutrition and the amazing energy that the plants had received from my placenta. I truly believe my experience would have been different if I would have received the benefits of placentophagy. I look forward to helping new moms get back their energy and nutrients, making the transition easier, allowing them to enjoy the special time with their precious baby.” - Bridget, read the full story on her web page.

Thank you, Bridget, for being brave enough to stand by what you believe in, despite your husband’s initial impressions! Thank you for taking such great care of women in your community and being a part of the PBi Network of Placenta Encapsulation Specialists. You will be a valuable resource to PBi and its mission of bringing placenta encapsulation to mainstream women.

Placenta Medicine for Postpartum Wellness
Many women worry about postpartum depression. Although
1 in 8 new mothers and their families will be affected by the
disorder, far more (up to 80%) will experience a phenomenon
known as “The Baby Blues.” This condition is so common that
it is considered by many a ‘normal’ part of recovery from
childbirth. The blues, along with lack of cultural and familial
support, can lead to the dreaded Postpartum Depression, a
clinical form of depression affecting women after childbirth.
The good news: Nature has had a remedy for the baby blues all
along! Now more than ever women are using their placentas to
keep the blues at bay. And there is no need to blend it in a
smoothie or bake a placenta pot pie. Many women are finding
that taking a few capsules filled with their dehydrated placenta is
much easier to swallow! Benefits of placenta medicine include:
increased milk supply, more energy, fewer mood swings, quicker
recovery, and less fatigue.
