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.

    Gentle births heal the earth,
    Peace on earth begins at birth.
    Love these podcasts Meryn, and I agree with you,- in regard to humanity’s evolution. As a Doula, I believe that I am a doorkeeper as these souls enter the world with the birth of each baby, I ensure that their births are Undisturbed, and immediate skin to skin. Michel Odent and Sarah J are my heroes, and have been priveleged to meet them both.

  2. Hailey says:

    I love how you say “it’s not about place” and that you can have undisturbed birth at a hospital, and now, with your latest baby, you DID have an undisturbed birth at a hospital! It is so amazing. What an incredible journey
