We're Maryn + Margo

We are mamas and birth workers who decided to do birth differently– and bring others along with us. We are kind, fun to work with, and great at (lovingly) calling people on their bullshit. With 12 children and 20 years of midwifery between us, we’ve learned a thing or two along the way, and Indie Birth is our space to share it all with you.

What a deep, dark internal time it’s been! Sharing all the happenings, inside and out that have been going on seasonally and personally. And it’s related to birth because this idea of being present and non-attached manifested this week for me in midwife role and I wanted to share all about that. What do you think about this idea of leaving everything (energetically) behind when attending a birth? Do you think it affects the overall experience of the mother? I am interested in hearing your thoughts.
