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.

In this video, I had the honor of chatting with a family I supported almost a year ago in their first home birth. Joe and Julie are truly some of my favorite people, and you will hear (and see!) why. They are the picture of powerful; they created an ordinary (in the best sense of the word) and completely sacred birth experience for themselves, at home, for their first baby. This is the first interview I’ve ever done with people who chose to have their first baby at home and I am so glad it was them! The world needs more of these stories of conscious pregnancy and birth.
