Placenta Casting
Placenta Casting offers a beautiful and meaningful way to honor one of the most incredible organs of pregnancy. Rather than placenta consumption through capsules, tinctures, smoothie cubes, or chocolates, placenta casting transforms your placenta into a one-of-a-kind keepsake that celebrates the journey of pregnancy, birth, and the connection created between parent and baby.
Each cast is unique and thoughtfully created, allowing families to preserve and cherish this powerful part of their birth story for years to come. Whether displayed as a personal keepsake or safely tucked away as a treasured memory, placenta casting provides a lasting way to honor the amazing work your body has done.
Available to families throughout New England and beyond.
How it is done
Each placenta cast is thoughtfully created through a detailed and time-intensive process to ensure your keepsake is both beautiful and meaningful. The process begins with careful preparation of the placenta to preserve its natural shape and intricate details. From there, a custom mold is created before the casting process begins, allowing the unique structure and features of your placenta to be transformed into a one-of-a-kind piece of art.
Because no two placentas are alike, each casting is completely unique and requires patience and attention to detail. The casting process itself takes time for proper preparation, molding, setting, curing, and finishing. Once the cast has fully set, any imperfections are carefully refined and final touches are completed to create a polished keepsake while maintaining the natural beauty and significance of the piece.
When your placenta cast is complete, it is thoughtfully placed into a shadow box, creating a lasting display piece that honors the incredible work your body has done throughout pregnancy and birth. Designed to be displayed in your home or tucked away as a treasured family keepsake, your placenta cast becomes a meaningful reminder of the connection between parent and baby — a unique piece of your birth story that can be cherished for many years to come.
While fresh placentas often preserve the most intricate details and textures for casting, previously frozen placentas can absolutely still be used. Even if your placenta has been safely stored in your freezer for years — yes, even for the last 5 years — we can still create a beautiful and meaningful keepsake from it!
