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. Aromatic plant essences from every corner of the global village are now are now accessible to empower, rejuvenate, focus, inspire, and soothe mothers in birth.
Increasingly mothers who value natural solutions, self-education, and freedom in health care choices are more likely to seek out midwifery and doula care—as well as oils—at their birth!
This course is a response to that expanding consciousness and is 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 more comprehensive than many level 1 accredited aromatherapy certification programs. Additionally, we teach (and advocate for) an altered therapeutic range of safe and effective oil use in birth that is unique to this program, and more conservative than traditional recommendations for important safety reasons.
This course focuses exclusively on labor-specific application techniques with more than half of our training addressing the anatomy, physiology, somatic psychology, hormonal progression of labor, and many other topics not addressed in aromatherapy programs. If you’re a birth professional, this course is curated for you.

This course is presented by a certified aromatherapist; it is science-based and research-focused curriculum sourced by current studies and multiple acclaimed textbooks including:
Our medical sections (on labor progression disorders, newborn physiology, etc) have been sourced with the same standard as the rest of the academy: over 1000 medical journal articles, 250 books on birth, dozens of modern obstetric textbooks, and every single midwifery textbook published in English in the US, Canada, and the UK since the 1950s.
The course is designed as a 12-week course of study to be completed in under one hour per day with an average of less than five hours of work per week required. There are 27 lectures plus assignments and exams. 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.
The courses are dynamic. Some are focused on getting you to practice your new expertise with practical, project-based assignments. Some lectures include illustrated quick reference guides or curated textbook excepts, other lessons will look like a 10-minute video on an application strategy that ends with an assignment so you can act immediately on new insights instead of thinking “oh, I remember that presentation on dilution strategies…but none of the specifics…how do I do that…” The course is organized around completing oil-based assignment projects and learning from experience.
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!

The quality of aromatherapy certifications varies widely:
Some level 1 accredited aromatherapy certifications cover less credible information than an MLM presentation (though participants usually spend a lot less by the time it’s finished! However the level of mastery taught in other aromatherapy certificates is amazing:
All these and more topics have informed this course, though they are not individually taught in-depth. This course is infused with aromatic theory while being laser focused on safe application strategies curated and condensed for birth professionals.
While essentials have been recognized by multiple national institutions as being generally recognized as safe substances, you should not take this certification course if you are a doula from one of the certifying agencies that controls essential oils use without an aromatherapy certification. If that’s you, our Aromatherapy certification would likely be a better fit.
Absolutely. We recognize how comprehensive many of you have been trained, however this course addresses birth specific information not covered in aromatherapy courses; information on how essential oils interact with the hormonal progression of labor, the physiological transition of the newborn and how that must be specifically protected in an aromatic birth space, and labor progression patterns that inform oil use. We’ve designed the course with you in mind: the material on fundamentals is mostly separated from the birth-specific material that would likely be new and valuable to you so that you can easily skip the basics.

“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!”
