Placenta Care Inspired by Traditional Wisdom

Service Description

Traditional Placenta Wisdom & Care (Muisca Cosmovision of Colombia – transmission from Laura Torres – Lalita Itzoceloxochitl) How can we honor the placenta? This dear being who watched over the baby, who nourished, protected, and accompanied them in silence and in the unseen… How do we recognize this bond, present from the very beginning? In certain traditions, the placenta is not considered a simple organ. It is recognized as a being: the baby’s guardian, its twin, a bridge between worlds. It is the first connection — the one that nourishes, protects, transmits… and carries memory, direction, and a living intelligence. In ancestral traditions, birth includes the placenta — this bond — and the way this passage is honored. At the heart of this teaching is relationship: entering into connection. The placenta may be returned to the earth, honored through ritual, or transformed through traditional practices: Placenta encapsulation, preparations, elixirs, homeopathic remedies, tinctures, creams, oils, salts, placenta-infused chocolate… It can also be honored through Art: placenta prints, lotus birth practices, talismanic objects, amulets, dreamcatchers with the cord, drums, and symbolic creations. Each transformation extends the bond and supports the body, the postpartum period, and embodiment. There is no single “right” way. The real question is: what feels right for you? Because ultimately… it is not the transformation that matters. It is the relationship. I offer a space of transmission and guidance to help you understand, choose, and honor this bond in your own reality. Understanding the place of the placenta. Exploring the possibilities. Learning to make choices that truly reflect you. Today, in Western contexts, the placenta is still often treated as medical waste. Between institutional constraints, taboos, and the loss of traditional knowledge, reclaiming these practices requires awareness. This is an invitation to: → reconnect with the living world → reintegrate ancient wisdom into a contemporary life This knowledge is not lost. It is waiting to be remembered. Before systems, there is living wisdom. Because the placenta is not simply something to transform. It is something to enter into relationship with. And it is this relationship… that brings meaning and depth to the practice. Sessions available: online, in person in Lasalle, and at your home in the Gard region.
