…every person on the planet has a unique Miwi (spirit/soul) print on his/her placenta and that this holds the instructions for their life’s journey. So when you are born your placenta needs to be buried in the arth, in Nungeena-tya (Mother Earth), on its own. Then your journey is anchored and your Miwi print waits there until you become a wanai (puberty)…. extract from Under the Quandong Tree by MinMia.

“They told you about the contractions but did they tell you about the expansion?
Did they tell you how your body would open to make way for the whole universe to pass through?
Did they tell you how your heart would explode with a love bigger than anything you’ve ever known as you pulled your baby to your chest

They told you about the ring of fire but did they tell you about the crown of stars?
Did they mention that there is a moment when your baby enters the world and you leave your body and touch the heavens and become the light of a million galaxies?
Did they tell you how the pain of stretching to receive your child would be more exquisite than any sensation you’ve felt?

They told you you would scream but did they tell you about how you would roar?
Did they tell you about the power that would rise up from your belly as you called your baby forth with your mighty voice?
Did they tell you how you would embody the wild woman within you and breathe fire with your song?

They told you you would bleed but did they tell you how that sacred blood wouldn’t scare you?
How you would feel grateful for that magical liquid of life as it trickled down your leg?
How you would honor its flow and how it would help you heal a lifetime of hating your body’s bleeding cycles?

They told you these stories and taught you to fear birth, to fear your power, to fear yourself.
But you’re stronger and wiser than that mama.
You know that birth is your divine dance, your soul’s song, your moment with God, and you walk fearlessly into her open arms.”

“thank you so much for the beautiful job you did. Every time I look at the umbilical cord I get so emotional. I didn’t realize it came with the package and didn’t realize the impact it would have in a good way! My mum wants to frame the print of the placenta.”

An amazingly long umbilical cord to make this beautiful keepsake ❤️

All mammals eat their placenta, the scientific evidence is clear as to why read more here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6138470/

I love cord burning, it is warming, gentle and hygienic. It also makes the moment of separation more sacred.

I just sold another of the gorgeous cord-burning bowls hand-crafted by my talented bestie,

Here's a great explainer from

Have you heard of a cord burning ceremony?

It is an ancient tradition that has been performed in many cultures, for thousands of years.

It has many physiological benefits for the baby, but also many spiritual benefits for both mother & baby.

It is a form of delayed cord clamping, which means all the blood is transferred to the baby from the placenta.

This has been proven to improve iron stores for up to 6 months, for the infant.

It also means baby is left skin to skin with mum uninterrupted, which has many positive physiological effects on the baby.

A cord burning ceremony also has many spiritual & emotional benefits. It is a slow & gentle way to seperate the baby from their life force, the placenta. It is believed to be a lot less traumatic for the baby. It is also a quiet time for the whole family, to honour the placenta, reflect on the journey & separation.

It can take anywhere up to 20 mins & is a sterile technique, as it involves cauterizing the cord.

When we simply ‘cut the cord’ it is a fleeting moment, been & gone.

Intentionally severing the cord slowly, draws out this process & give us time to reflect on all the changes that are to come.

Did you have a cord burning ceremony? What did it bring up for you?

After over a dozen years, I’m still awed by the power and beauty of every single placenta! Look at this perfect example!

Such wonderful feedback received today on this card:
“Dear Anna, this didn’t seem enough… Thank you SO much for everything you did and because of it my iron levels improved without taking anything aside from the placenta capsules YAY! We’re over the moon!
I’ve used the tincture several times with a cold sore sensation, scratchy throat and congestion MAGICAL!! “

“I can’t recommend the services of Opening To Life highly enough, the sensitivity, understanding and depth given by Anna was astounding and received with such gratitude. It is rare in life to find a soul who has the courage to connect on such a deep level, a being who is prepared to give of themselves so completely to the work they are doing that that work itself, truly becomes a gift. Anna’s ability to connect through the placenta to both the mother and the child has a beauty all it’s own, the way she honors the journey of the two souls involved, her gentleness, her openness and her ability to hold the energy of mother and baby with such reverence have created for me the belief that Anna is the link so many women have been longing for. I and my family feel blessed for having experienced this journey, the benefits will continue way into our children’s future, supporting them, protecting them, nurturing them with the sacredness of this ancient and beautiful medicine.” Donnamarie

I am so moved and awed by the power of the placenta, it is amazing how often I text a woman about working with her placenta and the timing is significant for her. It is amazing how I may have never met the mother, but the connection through the placenta is the connection of love, and I am part of it. I feel like a gatekeeper for the placenta. I get to be in the connection of love. It is so profound!
