A graduate of Exeter University and London Film School, Toni has spent the past 20 years producing and directing films. Her credits include a feature film released by a Hollywood studio and several documentaries about childbirth; DOULA!, FREEDOM FOR BIRTH and the multi award-winning documentary MICROBIRTH about the critical importance of ‘seeding and feeding’ a baby’s microbiome during vaginal birth and breastfeeding for the best possible lifelong health. Her extensive research for MICROBIRTH led to her co-authoring a new book called THE MICROBIOME EFFECT and also the creation of a new online course, MICROBIRTH ONLINE COURSE. Toni’s presentation gives a flavour of the content within this online course.
