Ever wondered what actually happens to your placenta after birth or why some mums choose to eat it?
In today’s episode of The Mama Circle, I’m joined by my longtime friend, Lynnea Arnold (formerly Lynnea Shrief) - doula, baby massage therapist, and founder of Europe’s first placenta encapsulation network, IPEN. She’s also a mum of four, a creator of change, and someone who has quietly shaped birth support for thousands of women.
Together, we dive into:
What doulas really do (and why they can change your whole birth experience)
The truth about placenta encapsulation: how it works, why people do it, and what you need to know
Baby massage as a tool for bonding, emotional regulation, and deep connection
Building a legacy while raising a family and why you don’t need to be loud to make an impact
