Breathe through your naval
I’ve been thinking about my placenta. I’ve never thought about my placenta before. It’s funny, even though I offer placenta encapsulation for postnatal clients to consume, I’ve never actually considered that I once had a placenta or that it was once attached to me and…what happened to it?
