Why A Re-Certification Program?
Brilliant Birth Academy launched our PE program because we dreamed of radically and holistically investing into Placenta Encapsulators. Over the last year we began to take students who came to us to re-certify. At first it was a few—but then it was a lot. The more we listened, the more we realized that there are policies in our field that make it difficult to graduate and expensive to stay certified. Here are just a few current practices in our field:
- Penalized deadlines, after which you cannot be certified.
- Removal of students from ‘active status’ with charges to ‘re-activate.’
- Pointless and lengthy paperwork, assignments, and submission requirements. Many students have wondered if these were just intentional barricades used as income generators when course completion was delayed then penalized.
- Arbitrary pass/fail standards for written final exams and fees ($250.00<) for test re-taking. Hidden yearly re-certification fee agreements that come with lots of bullet points and no perceivable value.
- No course previews and no refunds.


The Brilliant Birth Academy Re-Certification Offer Includes
Premium Done-For-You Branding Assets, including a full 25-piece branding kit with business cards, letter-head designs, social media banners, logos, envelope/email design, and more! Use our placenta-themed designs for a professional refresh or go through our branding training and upgrade your own!
Email Scripts Swipe File with proven, effective, and gracious responses to placenta encapsulation clients’ most common questions and objections.

I am so excited about these courses, I’m only 18 min in and it is blowing my mind! They are absolutely eye opening and I’m quite certain it changed the trajectory of my doula business and my life!
When you said the bit about, “I want your kids to be able to feel the difference in your home after taking this course”, I started crying. Ha! It’s just so powerful and refreshing to hear someone meet me with the same level of passion. I really want to do this the right way and honor myself and my family during the process. I want to not only help women and families have the absolute BEST birth possible, but I want to help my family live the best life possible. You marry the two ‘wants’ beautifully. -Kendelle P Doula & Placenta Encapsulator

“I listened to Finisher’s Formula and the ‘Finding Your Why’ courses. Wow. This mindset. This right here. It’s so important and SO needed.
I want to share these truths with Every. Single. Person. who stops me at the grocery store to tell me I’m “a supermom.” I’m a homeschooling mom of 8. My youngest child is 15 months old. Can I share this course with everyone I know??

Both. You can view the video lectures any time, and even refer back to them with your life-time access pass. The material comes in PDF and video format you can access across all devices. The “Become An Expert Module” is a do-at-your-own-pace format, but you can leave questions in the comments section to get an answer right away, or save them for the live Q&A sessions.
