Unlocking the Power of Birth Education:
From Passion to Profit
Over 8 years ago, I took a leap into the world of birth work, fueled by a deep passion and a desire to make a meaningful impact. With my kids a bit older and the eagerness to transition back into the workforce, I knew it was time to channel my energy toward something I truly loved—birth education. After years of being immersed in all things birth-related, from books to blogs and conversations with like-minded individuals, it felt natural to dive headfirst into this transformative field.
Teaching expecting couples about their birth options had always been something I enjoyed, although my previous audience didn't always share my enthusiasm. As I explored various certifications, I found my home with Birth Boot Camp, a program that resonated with me on a personal and professional level. I had followed the founder's insightful blog for years, and her approach aligned perfectly with my vision.
Transitioning to entrepreneurship required careful consideration, especially since our family was primarily reliant on a single income. Yet, my husband's unwavering support and understanding of my dream made the decision easier. On my birthday that year, I asked for books from my required reading list as my gift. I invested time in the pre-certification work and attended an eye-opening 3-day training.
Those training days were a revelation. I absorbed valuable insights into teaching methodologies, class management, effective communication with couples, and the intricacies of running a business. I felt ready and eager to embark on this new chapter of my life.
Fast forward 8 years, and that initial investment has not only contributed significantly to our family's finances but also enriched my sense of purpose. With the flexibility to set my own hours, I tailor classes to align with my family's schedule. Teaching from my own cozy space eliminated the need for expensive rentals, although I've dabbled in that realm too.
Through birthdays, Christmases, and thoughtful gifts, my classroom has transformed into an engaging hub of learning. From pelvises to crochet babies and uteruses, breastfeeding puppets, and a treasure trove of teaching tools, each item holds a special place in my heart.
While the financial investment to become a Birth Boot Camp childbirth educator is around $1300, the returns are equally remarkable. With almost 30 hours of childbirth and breastfeeding education videos, a range of essential books, optional PowerPoints, teaching materials, and more, the toolkit sets you up for success. Teaching just a few students the Comprehensive Series not only recoups your investment but also brings in extra earnings. The potential to teach multiple times a year, even weekly, allows for a healthy return on investment in your first year.
