We Can Choose

We can choose

To begin to come back into our bodies

We can choose

To let the flower of our being

Open to the sun.

Warmth spreading

Through sacred places

Like women did

Long ago.

Deep down you remember

Your pleasure is

The jewel

In the lotus

That they all search for.

Om mani padme hum.

- Jenny Wren

Why I Love This Work

What do I love about this work?

I love that each placenta has it's own energy. I love that a headstrong Scorpio boy makes his presence known through his placenta, that a mother's delicate and calm nature can be felt through the organ her body created to sustain her baby.

Sometimes I have to sit down, sometimes I work with a grin on my face. I always sing.

I'm a strong believer in speaking about what you love. What I love is working under the light of the same moon the baby was born under. I love being the one in the neighbourhood doing women's work for the new mother.

Making placenta remedies is like tapping into something ancient and wise.

I remember as I drove away from my training 3 years ago full of excitement and trepidation. I had done the course more out of curiosity than anything else and I was blown away.

I felt like I had left with more questions than answers. The main question in my mind - am I fit for this sacred role?

What qualities would you look for in somebody working with your placenta? ❤

You Are Her

I asked her to keep autumn safe,

Took the moon from my hair,

Left it at the feet of the goddess.

I bled all over the pages

Of my intention

It flowed from me

In my time of winter.

Let autumn remain untouched

I wrote in ink.

The difference between praying

To an absent god

And following the path

Of the mother

Is she will always ask you to meet her there

In that space of dark possibility

Ask you how much

You want what you are asking for.

You are her,

You are the one you are praying to.

Again she invites me Into her cauldron

And I take the step.
