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.

The Student Midwife Primer
An hour before birth, I still was not sure this was “it” because I was not experiencing pain. 10 minutes before, I knew she was in position to be born even though I was not pushing at all. All of the sudden, her head emerged in one strong fetal ejection reflex contraction, before I could even call anyone into the room.

This is where our story begins…

Our world is such that there are countless obstacles that have been put in the way between you and having the powerful and profound birth experience you dream about.

Things like mainstream medicine believing birth is fearful and dangerous…practitioners that work with pregnant women who serve a frightful, broken system… the lack of information that is truly woman-centered… a culture who talks about birth in terms of hypothetical “risk” of death only… a culture that does not respect women or babies or mothers… a lack of access to true midwifery, and a long history of systemic birth abuse in the system.

The list goes on and on. Many of you have already experienced a birth on these terms; and you know there is a better way. A more loving, more connected way that makes real SENSE to your mind and your heart. A way that will change the next generation and allow for babies to come into this world in love and peace.

You KNOW there is another way because you do; and you’ve seen and felt how the “normal” way breaks mothers and babies to pieces.

It is for these deep reasons that Indie Birth, and this new 13 Moons: An Indie Birth Experience course has been created (and it is now available as a “Pay What You Can” offering!!!)! We know you know. And we are here to share our own wisdom, knowledge and years of experience with you. So that you know you are not alone, you were never wrong, and there’s a whole community of women who feel they way you do and believe what you do.
