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.  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.
