Instructor

Regine Marton, MS, CNM, RN holds a MS in Midwifery from SUNY Stony Brook NY. She was born in France, knew about her passion about Midwifery and Reproductive Health since she was about seven years of age. However, she chose another path, adult learning, and started teaching French and English as a second language for multinationals in France and Brazil.

She is trained as a doula, continues her training as a Watsu provider and is a certified Aquanatal coach. She became progressively interested in Global Health as well as religious anthropology linked to health practices in various societies, and started networking with midwives from various backgrounds, from France, Mexico and Brazil. She is also partnering with several Brazilian NGO’s where she teaches online for the Humanization Childbirth in Brazil. She currently lives in Brazil, and has three children.
