Volume Commitment
Minimum 25 units per year to maintain certified status. Below threshold — certification is suspended until renewed.
Built For
Built for premium birth practices.
Codex Certified is not a reseller program. It is a professional credential for doulas, midwives, birth photographers, and boutique birth centers who want to offer something no commodity provider can match.
- Add a high-margin archival offering to your client packages
- Differentiate from commodity birth services
- Give families a permanent artifact beyond photos and documentation
- Use the Codex Certified™ seal and official directory listing
- Access protected wholesale pricing and client presentation scripts
- Deliver the Birth Codex™ without handling production, registration, or fulfillment
Certification Requirements
What certification requires.
MAP Compliance
Minimum Advertised Price of $297 per Codex. No discounting. This protects the value of every certified professional in the network.
Brand Standards
Strict adherence to presentation, packaging, and delivery guidelines. The Codex must be presented as the premium artifact it is.
Completed Training
Brand positioning, delivery protocol, client communication scripts, and packaging standards — all required before certification is granted.
Certification
What certification confers.
Status
The Codex Certified™ Seal
A badge of distinction used on your website, materials, and social presence. Recognized within the birth professional community as a mark of alignment with archival-grade birth documentation.
Registry Listing
Every Certified professional is listed in the official My Birth Codex™ Certified Directory — a searchable registry for families seeking a Codex-aligned birth experience.
Prestige Positioning
Families who value permanence seek professionals who share that value. Certification signals that you are not a commodity provider — you are a standard-bearer.
Operational
- Wholesale pricing structure with volume tiers
- Complete training curriculum — brand, delivery, packaging, client communication
- Client communication scripts and presentation templates
- Priority access to Codex Brief packs and new product launches
- Dedicated professional support line
Certification is rare by design. The exclusivity is the point: fewer Certified professionals means stronger positioning, protected pricing, and more trust for families.

The Living Record
Every Codex you deliver activates a lifetime record.
The Birth Codex is the permanent document. MYA is the living registry it connects to — growing with the child long after you've delivered the record.
Living Layer
MYA — Moment You Arrived
MYA is the living digital layer built on the verified data in every Birth Codex. It grows with the child — expandable with milestones, permanently accessible, and connected to the foundational record you delivered at birth.
Learn about MYAIn Practice
What the delivery moment looks like.
Example — Doula delivery moment
A Certified doula presents the Birth Codex at discharge. The family receives a permanent archival document alongside standard hospital paperwork — the only artifact in the room built to last 500 years. The doula is the one who made that happen.

Example — Birth center standard offering
A boutique birth center includes the Birth Codex as a standard part of every birth package. It becomes a point of distinction in every referral conversation — not a product pitch, but a credential the practice holds that others do not.
