Hi, I'm Debra Pascali-Bonaro

I’ve been teaching childbirth education and training birth professionals for over 30 years in over 40 countries and now I’m bringing all of this knowledge and experience to you through my film, books, educational programs, and retreats.

As the Co-Chair of the International Childbirth Initiative,  Chair of the International MotherBaby Childbirth Initiative and as a DONA International Doula Trainer I teach thousands of parents, doulas, midwives, doctors and nurses in the safest and most pleasurable ways to support a healthy, empowering birth experience.


All over the world, the highly medicalized birth model is creating challenges that have gone too far and can put you at risk instead of keeping you safe.

Change is happening but not quick enough.  

Don’t leave your birth to chance.

I will give you access to the information you need to understand your choices and decide what is best for you and your baby.
