anyone know when the new PBi couse is coming out?

[mrslifeofreilly]

I'm on the mailing list. I keep going back and forth on whether to train or self-study (mostly a money thing) and am holding off my decision until the details of the new PBi are released.

[Brie+3]

she hasn't told us yet... unless I missed some communication...

(personally, I think it's been worth the expense)

[mrslifeofreilly]

It is mostly the monthly 'membership' fee. It scares me that I may pay all that and not have enough clients/demand to cover it and end up owing money instead of making it.

[raeben]

my bet is that she is adding a homeopathic option.

just a speculation though.

so $300/yr, paid up front or the $29.95/monthly.... @ $250 per placenta (my charge), it only takes 2 a year to pay for it and the rest is profit.

So why pay the membership and not learn on your own? 100,000 website hits A MONTH. Unlike DONA (who will certify anyone and everyone asking to be certified) YOU will be the referral person for your area. If someone is looking for 'Placenta Encapsulation' on google PBi is the #1 & 2 result, plus theres a few other links below it. You will be found. And actually if you google search my name, my profile page on PBi comes up too.

This was my hesitation too. But I have placentas scheduled already for December, February '10 AND April '10.... and I know I'll get a few last minute phone calls in coming weeks.
And I know for a fact this was a reason AT LEAST 2 Doula Clients hired me and not someone else (I do offer a discount for doula+ placenta), so the residual income is there as well.

My final decision for doing PBi and not learning on my own was 1. Referrals from a well known source (search MDC boards, PBi is brought up in nearly every conversation and there is a lot) 2. Marketing & business image is already established 3. Release forms, Powerpoint Presentations and advertising materials are already written and ready for your use, just add your name and contact info.


Trust me. The demand is out there, especially if you do some foot work to make it known that the service exists in your community. We get requests all the time for people looking for someone to do this in areas where there is no one (My December client lives closer to Indiana, 3 hours away, and paying me extra for travel expenses)

I've done 5 this month, and it's only the 9th. I Jodi & PBi!

[naturalbirther]

So since I already applied a few weeks ago, do I need to remind her that I am still wanting to do it? She/Pbi did send out an email a week or so later saying that the new course was in progress and they'd update later.....

I think it will be another couple of weeks until it's released.

Im anxiously awaiting it too!! I really like that if you search for placenta encapsulation, PBi comes up first for pretty much anything placenta related. I like the idea of gaining knowledge, vs just trying to find ideas here or online, kwim.
