Placenta Practice founder and Placenta Specialist Amanda Denton in a white nurses tunic with company logo 

Giving birth is one of the most momentous, memorable and emotional times of a woman’s life. At this incredible moment and in the hours that follow it is so important to be with warm, supportive and highly skilled professionals.

My whole career has been about childcare, birth and caring for women, and my previous experience as a Birth Doula and Postnatal Doula have given me very precious insights. I have more than 20 years of invaluable knowledge and expertise with expectant mothers, newborn babies and children through to teenagers.

I was the UK’s first Placenta Encapsulation Specialist who is also certified and qualified as a Phlebotomist, specialising in the procurement of stem cells and cord blood, which can play a vital role in treating future illnesses.

As well as having an exceptional roster of qualifications, I’m also warm, friendly and passionate about what I do. This is so much more than a job! I love chatting to my clients about placenta encapsulation and allowing them to make an informed decision on the different products and remedies I offer.

It is so rewarding to be part of their birth plan, create the remedies and receive their wonderful emails and texts saying how thrilled they are that they had their placenta encapsulated. Please visit our dedicated location pages (London , Hampshire and UK Coverage) for more about our encapsulation services in your area.

What People Say

“From the very first time I contacted Amanda she's been so kind and professional. Being slightly sceptical about having my placenta made into pills, Amanda's knowledge made me confident it was beneficial. This was my first child so not knowing how I was going to feel after so I gave it a go. I had no energy loss, no fatigue, abundance of milk supply that my baby never lost weight only gained. I would recommend this service to anyone and will definitely be doing it again with any more pregnancies. I'm sad I've finally run out.”

“I have had my placenta prepared by Amanda twice and she has always provided exceptional service. Amanda is professional, efficient and very friendly! She makes the whole process really easy. I feel that getting my placenta prepared really helped with my recovery with my first and reduced the onset of PND which has been present within my family. Being able to replace all those hormones, minerals, vitamins and antibodies lost by delivery of the placenta, it just makes sense to replenish those nutrients and this is the perfect way to do it! I highly recommend!”
