Course Distinctives

Upon Successful Course Completion A Certified Aromatherapist  Will:

Gain a thorough understanding of how essential oils work therapeutically, the underlying science that supports their evidence-based application, how to perform clinical intake assessments, develop integrative plans of care during birth, postpartum and early childhood, and use individualized therapeutic blends to integrate aromatherapy in a home birth practice or clinical setting.

The Aromatherapy Certification Will Certify Your Calling & Transform Your Passion Into A Masterful Essential Oil Practice

Aromatherapy is a relationship in which the chemical intelligence of a plant’s constituent molecules interact with the multidimensional human body at a cellular, biochemical, emotional, and spiritual level. 

This course was curated for birth professionals who want to deepen their wisdom in the art and science of plant-based solutions for birth.

Our essential oil training is comprehensive and designed to increase your confidence and mastery. We teach an altered therapeutic range of safe and effective oil use in birth that is both more conservative than traditional recommendations for important safety reasons and more effective in creating outcomes for your clients.


If you have a calling to work with plant based solutions in the childbearing year, this course is for you.

Rachel M
Birth Doula + Plant Based Healer

“I’ve had a lot of clients specifically wanting a doula who uses essential oils, but I knew I couldn’t properly support them. I did some research, but it’s hard to know what to trust; I just didn’t feel confident in the information I was finding on random websites. When I found the Brilliant Birth Academy Essential Oils Birth Consultant course, I was overjoyed! I was so relieved that I found a trustworthy source about properly using essential oils during labor and now I feel very confident when using oils during birth. I’m so thankful I found this course and, because of it, can better support my clients during such an important time!”
