Why are we doing this?
Our Story
We are Toni Harman and Alex Wakeford, filmmakers and parents. In our daughter's birth by emergency C-section, we felt uninformed, unsupported and disempowered. We don't want other parents to feel this way.
In 2014, we launched the film MICROBIRTH with over 1,000 public screenings in 50 countries.
The film went down a storm with the birth community - but it didn't lead to the changes in maternity care that we were hoping for - so we decided it's time to make a bigger splash.
We've hosted 2 international conferences (the last one attended by 3,500 health professionals) and this virtual Summit is a chance to spread awareness of the infant microbiome even wider, as part of a bigger plan!
What is
"The Microbirth Plan"?
We want to make 2024 the year of the infant microbiome.
We want ONE MILLION expectant and new parents to understand what they need to do to protect and nurture their own and their baby's microbiome. But this plan starts with YOU understanding the science, so you can support parents with care that is microbiome-focused.
We hope you decide to join us!
