Become a Certified Placenta Encapsulator
Placenta encapsulation nourishes families in postpartum and builds income for birth workers.
Placenta encapsulation is the perfect job for birth workers who want to add value to the work they are already doing as well as anyone who wants to support postpartum families.
We offer two choices - a virtual self paced course and an in person course. In person course includes hands on practice with a real placenta. After finishing either course, you are a certified placenta encapsulator.
Learn from one the most experienced experts in the world.
