Who created this course?

Hello, I am Toni Harman


I am not a scientist. I am a parent and filmmaker who after a traumatic birth, went on a 10-year journey to discover the latest evidence-based research on birth and breastfeeding.

On this journey, myself and my partner Alex found out about the infant microbiome, and together, we made the film MICROBIRTH.

MICROBIRTH has won several science film festivals, and has been broadcast around the world. It's led to us authoring two books.

And it's led to us creating this online school - now with over 40,000 enrolled members.

We have recently held TWO international conferences with over 3,500 people joining!


Why did I create this course?


I created this course for maternity professionals as a deep-dive into the science of the infant microbiome - but all made easy to understand, and divided into short videos and learning "chunks" to make it really easy to digest!

Remember, I am not a scientist, so I made this course for non-scientists like me to understand this critical science that has such a profound impact on infant health!

This is for you if...


>>> You want to unlock the secrets of infant health with our comprehensive online course on the infant microbiome!


>>> You want to play a pivotal role in shaping the health and wellbeing of both mother and baby.


>>> You want to be equipped with the latest research and practical knowledge to optimise infant health from the very start.


>>> You want to discover how the microbiome influences immunity, digestion, and even neurological development in infants.


>>>You want to empower parents to make informed decisions that nurture their baby's microbiome for a lifetime of health.



This is NOT for you if...


>>> You are not interested in staying updated with the latest scientific research and evidence-based practices.

>>> You prefer not to incorporate the latest evidence-based knowledge into your practice.


>>> You are not open to learning about the complexities of the infant microbiome and its implications for health outcomes.

>>> You are not comfortable explaining scientific concepts to expectant parents.

>>>You are not passionate about advocating for the health and well-being of newborns and their families.




Don't miss this opportunity to deepen your expertise and elevate your practice.


Enroll today to help YOU better inform and empower parents!
