I love the placenta because it sits beautifully between the scientific and the symbolic. We’ll look at the actual anatomy together and I’ll explain what we’re seeing. Then we’ll explore the imagery and symbolism that those structures can evoke. I’ll always distinguish between what we can observe and what we choose to explore symbolically. A placenta reading is not a medical examination, pathology assessment, diagnosis or prediction of your baby’s health, personality or future. If I notice something that appears potentially medically significant, I will never attempt to diagnose it from a photograph or symbolic reading. Instead, I’ll recommend discussing it with your midwife, doctor or other appropriate healthcare professional. This isn’t about me telling you what your placenta means - instead, I’ll guide you through what I see and invite you to consider what it might represent in your own story.
