Hi Bonnie, would you please tell our readers a little about yourself and also a little about the “Together We Birth” online course.
I am a doula with over 20 years of experience supporting families during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I am a third-generation doula; my mother and my grandmother were both birth doulas before me. I have five of my own children and I am an advocate for women.

Why did you create the course?
I created the Online Birth Course to provide parents with access to comprehensive and evidence-based information about labour, birth and the early postpartum. She believes that all parents deserve to feel informed, empowered, and supported throughout the birth process, and she created the course to help make that a reality. As a doula with years of experience, I have seen firsthand the benefits of education and preparation in helping families have positive birth experiences, and so I wanted to make that education more accessible through an online platform.
