Indie Birth is more than a movement—it’s a revolution in how we see birth, women, and the sacred mysteries of life.
Founded on the belief that birth is one of the most powerful and sacred rites of passage, Indie Birth exists to empower women to reclaim their innate wisdom and authority. We are here to challenge the norms, break down the walls of outdated paradigms, and return birth to its rightful place: an act of sovereignty, connection, and deep spiritual transformation.
We stand for sovereign birth, intuitive wisdom, and a new paradigm of care.
Our work blends ancient practices, radical midwifery, and grounded spirituality to offer a holistic path for those who know birth is not a medical event—it’s a sacred journey. Whether you are a mother, birth worker, or simply someone who believes in the transformative power of birth, Indie Birth is a space for you to learn, grow, and connect with others who share your vision.
At Indie Birth, we provide education, support, and community for women and birth workers seeking a deeper, more authentic connection to the mysteries of birth and life. Through our courses, programs, and gatherings, we explore the art and science of birth from a perspective that honors the sacred and the scientific, weaving both into the fabric of how we teach and serve.
Indie Birth is a space for those ready to think differently about birth and life. Whether you're seeking a deeper understanding of your own birth journey, looking to transform your midwifery or doula practice, or just curious about the sacredness of life’s biggest transitions, we invite you to join us. Explore our courses, connect with like-minded souls, and become part of a revolution that is rewriting the story of birth, one sacred moment at a time.
What We Do
I have been a midwife since 2016 and started attending births in 2011. I apprenticed with Maryn for five years and attended a distance learning midwifery program. I had a magical midwifery practice in Duluth Minnesota for 7 years before returning to the Desert.
In terms of my midwifery work, I primarily work with women virtually, teach students and mentor new midwives while single mom-ing and homeschooling my two gorgeous children. I also am a magical money coach and do shamanic parts work with women across the lifespan.
Experience
My journey into the world of pregnancy and birth began long before I ever experienced it myself. While in graduate school, I found myself deeply immersed in studying midwifery legislation and mothers’ childbirth choices in the U.S., viewing it all through the lens of reproductive rights. But the more I learned, the more I recognized a deeper, elemental truth: pregnancy and birth are forces of nature, yet they are continually controlled and subdued by the state and medical systems.
I quickly realized that I didn’t just want to study these issues—I wanted to be part of the change. And so, I caught the “birth bug” in a big way. Meeting Maryn was like finding a kindred spirit. Together, we embarked on countless birth-related adventures, learning and growing alongside each other, and ultimately, I experienced the profound power of home birth with my own two children.
Since then, I’ve been on a path that I can’t turn away from. Birth isn’t just a topic of study for me—it’s a sacred rite of passage, a deep spiritual calling, and something I live and breathe every day. I haven’t stopped reading, talking, or writing about birth, and my passion now lies in helping other women reclaim the sacredness and power of their own birth journeys.

And I’m Margo Blackstone.
I was trained as a midwife, beginning with a 4 year apprenticeship and eventually serving in the role of Licensed Midwife (Arizona). I outgrew that in 2012, returning my license to the State and following my Soul into the undefined world of spiritual birth guidance with the bonus of having midwifery skills and experience. I maintained the CPM credential from 2009-2023 but became disillusioned and non aligned with this organization (and any organization that seeks to control birth and midwives) and gave this one back as well. After 15 years of serving women at home, I continue to do this in Hawai’i but for the most resonant and aligned women that see birth and motherhood as sacred initiations and desire a knowledgeable witness as their guide.
Experience and WISDOM
My journey into the world of birth actually began with the birth of my first child in a hospital. I didn’t even know home birth was an option. I was frustrated with the hospital experience I had and began searching for other options for my second birth. I eventually connected with a doula who introduced me to the idea of home birth, and alongside the midwife I hired last minute, guided me safely through a loving second birth experience. I decided to become a midwife to help women in the same way.
I co-founded Indie Birth and our various offerings to inform, educate, and support women on their path. I feel divinely lucky to be intimately a part of the life cycle. I live with my husband of 22 years and our 10 children (yes, you read that right) currently on a beautiful Hawai'ian Island. I work freely as a spiritual birth guide (complete with all kinds of talents, one of them being midwifery skills) under a PMA (Private Membership Association), serving a specific group of women that have resonant spiritual beliefs about birth and life as a sacred process. Life is good!
