Midwifery Online was founded by a pioneer of distance education for midwives, Daphne Singingtree, CPM. Daphne has over 30 years experience in midwifery education, and 15 years of computer expertise to provide the very best quality service.

She founded one of the very first midwifery websites Oregon Midwifery in 1994, and in 2004 she founded MidwiferyEducation.Org to provide more resources to the midwifery education community. She is the author of numerous textbooks and learning materials for midwives at Eagletree Press. She was the founder and director of the Oregon School of Midwifery, the first direct entry midwifery school in the US to offer online distance education. She served on the board of directors of the Midwifery Education and Accreditation Council, was the Vice Chair of Oregon State Board of Direct Entry Midwifery, and was the chair of the Education Committee for the Midwives Alliance of North America. 

Since her 2002 retirement from clinical practice and school administration, she has focused on writing, getting her degree in Web Design, and her goals of promoting distance education for midwives.

Other staff members include Peter Clarck, web developer and Ellen Klowden; production assistant.

Specific courses may have different instructors and consultants depending on content.
