$497.00. We’ve spent thousands on our ‘done-for-you swipe files’ that include valuable assets like professionally composed legal waivers, dozens of marketing material design files, and lots more.

Building your birth business with us will be better, faster, and more affordable than doing it alone. But it won’t be cheap. Because there’s also the investment of your time. The value of your attention. The cost of doing your best, deepest, creative work to make a business that looks and feels like you—something that makes you proud to mention when people ask what you’ve been up to.  

The tuition investment is just the first step, the ‘raising the stakes’ decision that shows your commitment to overcome your status quo and to be somewhere different next year than you are right now.

Course purchase does not guarantee certification. In order to practice as a Placenta Encapsulator you’ll need to complete two ‘outside’ requirements: get your food handler’s certification, and a blood born pathogens certification (or submit proof of exiting completion status). These requirements cost less than $50 dollars total and we’ll walk you through why these are required, and the simple process to sign up and complete these steps. Upon completion of the course you will be able to sit for our 50 question multiple choice examination and after passing with a score of 70% will be permanently certified as a Placental Encapsulator!

Despite other institution’s claims that preparing the placenta in clients’ homes is safer, no variation of blood borne pathogen transmission has been observed between institutions that require a client based preparation site vs other locations with over 30 years of time for that differentiation to emerge.

Placenta Encapsulation is one of many occupations that carries a risk of blood exposure. Tattooists, piercers, health-care workers, first-responders etc have the same risks. None of these other professions require services to only be rendered in the client’s home. The reason no other service-based occupations with a high risk of blood exposure require you to provide your own tools, or require services to be performed in the clients home, is because with proper sanitation protocols and safety precautions, it is completely unnecessary. 

Institutional infringements on encapsulator’s preparation preference significantly diminishes their profit margins due to increased costs. Additionally, many clients do not want the placenta prepared in their space and will not choose providers who are bound by their training institution to only offer services in the client’s home.

Brilliant Birth Academy is in alignment with all other service-based occupations with a high risk of blood exposure; none of which require you to provide your own tools for services rendered, and none of which require services to be performed in the clients home. These actions are unnecessary, costly to practitioners, and a frequent infringement on parental preference. The claims that these protocols make placenta encapsulation safer are unfounded. 

We have confidence in our placenta workers and the mothers they serve to come to their own informed decision on a preparation location and do not believe this decision requires institutional interference. We advise encapsulators to comply with all local laws. 

Around 5 hours per week for between 6-8 weeks. There are 40 hours of courses plus assignments. Most of our students have full schedules with families and jobs. Our intensive timeline will stretch you, but will still be manageable with real-life responsibilities.

More than half of your time will be spent producing work to launch your birth business. No lame book reports here or endless paperwork. The business and personal lifestyle design courses include practical, project-based assignments and personal challenges that will be interwoven through-out the course. A typical lesson might include a 10-minute video on a business strategy that ends with a curated assignment that will get you systematically building the business assets you need to go live. You’ll be acting immediately on new insights instead of thinking “oh, I remember that presentation on how to process credit card payments for my clients…but none of the specifics…how do I do that” …six months later (while you’re still not making money…).

These courses are organized around action, around finishing, around sharing your work and learning from that experience. As you complete projects you’ll set them ‘live’ and get coaching from your program directors, feedback from your peers, and then have an assignment to support fellow students with constructive feedback—which is just another way to help you play with the ideas you’ll be learning. You’ll build amazing relationships as we dream, brainstorm, flesh-out, simplify, and execute on your business. You’ll be in business for yourself, but not by yourself.

In Uncover Your Brilliance Module, we get personal and practical. We believe your family is just as important as the ones you’re serving, and that’s why we’ve included lifestyle design strategies.

Our innovative and life-changing courses are built to accelerate you into your own dynamic well-being first, and to carry that to the families you serve. We think it matters, not just what you know, but who you are; so our neuroscience-based emotional skills training will equip you to exude a calm and joyous presence while serving in the sacred birth space.

Birth is high-stakes and showing up with consistent excellence in the face of challenges mastery of multiple skills. The courses will demystify what it takes to really be successful and how to build an exceptional foundation in your everyday life that can sustain the cost of really going for your dreams.

To start with, we’re going to clear the clutter in your workspace, your calendar, and your mindset, and we’re going to journey together toward creating a life and a business that you love. You’ll probably get excited, doubt whether the method will work for you, think it’s the dumbest idea ever, think it’s the best idea ever, think you only want to do the part that fits with your personality, realize you actually need to do the other part that you threw away, and come out at the end totally different and exactly true to who you always were. Best part: the course is long enough for you to develop new habits within a community of people who are also upgrading in a serious way so the results last.

You’ll master the skills you need to serve well during birth, but they’ll also prove invaluable as you tackle dream after dream. For many students becoming a birthworker is a first, powerful step toward a life of higher contribution and success.

The fastest anyone’s done it is five weeks. The average length is hard to calculate but it’s about 8 weeks. Our completion rates are higher than industry standard and we value our student’s success– not just their initial payment. We’re here to help you succeed as quickly as possible!

Our courses are limited enrollment and only open four times a year so we can provide better support to our students. Our goal isn’t to be the biggest birth training institution, it’s actually to be small. Small in size, but massive in our vision to create a real difference in the way we train students who in turn change how we welcome babies into the world.

Being a birth professional and providing that conscientious, heart-centered service to newborns and their families during this critical period is one of the most meaningful things you could possibly do with your life. We think you’re brilliant. And worth investing in.

And that’ why our program is totally different than anything on the market. We invest an incredible amount of resources, time, and support into each birth professional we send into the field. There may be less Brilliant Birth Professionals, but people can recognize our graduates. They’re gracious and articulate and extremely impressive.
