Placenta Encapsulation in Fredericksburg, TX
Trusted ship-in placenta services for Gillespie County families.

Giving birth in Fredericksburg
Fredericksburg families welcome their babies close to home. The Cailloux Birthing Center at Methodist Hospital | Hill Country (many locals still know it as Hill Country Memorial) is Gillespie County's only state-designated maternal care facility, and certified nurse midwives attend home births across the county.
Wherever your birth happens, your part stays simple. Your transport cooler arrives before your due date and waits with your hospital bag. After delivery, your placenta comes home, goes in the freezer, and ships to us with the enclosed label, and your capsules are back at your door within days.
Why families encapsulate
Many women report that their placenta capsules have helped them with increased milk supply, decreased feelings of imbalance, improved energy, reduced fatigue, and much more. We prepare your placenta using the Traditional Chinese Method: inspected, gently steamed with lemon oil, dehydrated, and compounded into capsules in a dedicated space, one placenta at a time.

Common questions
Is it safe to ship a placenta?
Yes, this is exactly what the kit is designed for. Your placenta travels frozen inside the insulated transport cooler we provide, with clear packing and carrier instructions enclosed. On arrival it is inspected before processing begins.
How long until I receive my capsules?
Encapsulation is completed within 48-72 hours of your placenta being received, then your capsules, dose guide, and cord keepsake are sent to your home. Placenta tinctures take longer to prepare and are sent about 6-8 weeks after delivery.
Do I need a provider near me?
No. Because the process is ship-in from start to finish, you can be anywhere in Texas: your birth location and your kitchen counter are the only places your placenta needs to be before it ships.
What is included?
The standard package includes approximately 80-200 capsules (depending on placenta size), a special umbilical cord keepsake, and a suggested dose and usage guide. Tincture and salve add-ons and a bundle package are available.

When I reached out to Abby for reassurance that’s…" Read more reviews
