Why Recertify?

Placenta Encapsulators use multiple unique methods to turn the hormones, trace elements, stem cells, vitamins, and nutrients into gentle maternal supplements. Placenta encapsulation is a meaningful, flexible career and a wonderful way to serve at the time of birth without the demands of being an ‘on call’ birth professional. It’s also a great  foundation for future expansion into additional service offerings. Placental remedies are part of the abundant provision of nature to support the vital and blissful state of bonding between mother and child; it infuses their physiology with a calm energetic focus while supporting rejuvenation and therapeutic rest.

Is Placenta Encapsulation Certification Right For You?


For those of us who want to make the world a little bit more like heaven on earth, one of the most meaningful investments we can make are those into families around the crucial time of birth.

It may seem trite, but we literally believe peace on earth starts with birth, and that supporting that first bond between mother and child is a fountainhead of acceptance and peace that can flow to restore every other area of disconnection in our world.

If you have a deeply felt calling to support newborn mothers with the placenta’s unique properties, you’re in the right place!

Ashley Houchin created this course out of a desire to support aspiring encapsulators with a course filled with the detailed information you’ll need to professionally answer all your client’s why questions, the media, social, finance, and business training to have your business thriving from day one, and the communal support to celebrate your journey into a new level of contribution and thriving.

But don’t worry! Our course’s reported months-to-completion is eight full months shorter than alternative trainings with similar course requirements and material, because our courses have been painstakingly condensed. Our foundational principles are arraigned into a strategic framework so you can easily internalize core principles into a developed intuition. Our short, digestible lessons are 20-40 minutes long and make sure “you’ve learned it” and not just “you’ve heard it”. When you leave our course you’ll feel like a professional, because you’ll actually be one.

I have never felt so inspired to uncover and work through my goals as I did with these business courses.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Much Does The Certification Cost?

$497.00 to start, plus at least that much budgeted for business expenditures and supplies. 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.

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 do advise encapsulators to comply with all local laws. 

Around 5 hours per week for between 5-6 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 Launch Your Business Module and the Uncover Your Brilliance Modules are 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.

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.
