Parts Work is a beautiful process of looking inside your Self to greet the parts of you that are desiring attention, as well as your wise guides. The aim is to build relationships with these parts and guides so that you can gain rich insights and a deepening sense of connection to Self and source. This modality is a blend of Internal Family Systems AND Applied Shamanism.
Parts Work for Birth Workers + Pregnant Mamas with Margo
-Annie
"Thank you for introducing me to this modality. I really enjoyed the session and felt that it helped shed another layer of trauma that has since lead to more trust in myself and the support of the universe. You hold space beautifully and your warm heart and thoughtfulness shines through in all your offerings. This type of therapy can feel a little vulnerable but with your sincerity and authenticity I felt very comforted and safe throughout the whole session. Bless you."
I love the space that Maryn holds for me, around whatever it is that feels important for me to explore during a session. I feel so supported and validated in my process during this huge time of transition in my life. I also feel endlessly grateful for Maryn‘s wealth of knowledge and the diversity of support she is able to offer me, around whatever area that may be coming up for me. I appreciate the way she incorporates knowledge from her years of supporting others through her time as a midwife, her extensive studies, deep wisdom, intuition, and her genuine care as a loving human being all so harmoniously in the way she shows up. I have never felt like something is missing in the space we are sharing, for lack of being in the same room. If it is something you are pondering, I highly recommend creating the space to connect with one of these incredible beings for a virtual session.
real transformation
Despite having the dreamiest midwifery training, both in terms of my apprenticeship and my learning path, about 4 years into my solo practice as a midwife I realized I needed to add something major to my toolkit in order to feel like I was truly a well rounded midwife able to meet the needs of women.
I was doing my best to support women when difficult patterns, trauma, limiting beliefs, and fears came up. But sometimes I felt out on a limb.
So I started seeking. After being approached by an amazing shamanic studies teacher to come onto my podcast, I studied Applied Shamanism at her school for the better part of a year.
I loved everything I was learning from her and thought I would fold it into my midwifery but it just never felt quite right. And then I found IFS (also called Parts Work) when I was in seriously need of support around the time I got divorced. Eventually I started training in Parts Work for my own personal deepening with the material.
But now I can see SO clearly that Parts Work, blended with the shamanic principles and understanding I learned is going to absolutely be the next chapter of birth work for me - both with pregnant women and with birth workers looking to work through all the things that come with this territory.
Meet Margo
From what I have seen in my 13+ years in the birth space is that the number one thing pregnant women need is not a supplement, or a labor prep class, or a specific type of care provider or birth plan. What pregnant women truly need is to connect more deeply to their core Self and to a sense of the divine so that they can step fully into their power during the rite of passage that is the birthing year.
Without THAT...without a strong core connection to self and the divine, women are up the river without a paddle at any point in the lief cycle, but ESPECIALLY during pregnancy, birth and early mothering.
This modality and this work is what I have been searching for for many years in my quest to help women meet this essential need, and I'm so excited to be able to offer it now.
Who this work is for
Check out this video about what IFS/Parts Work looks like and means to me as a woman and as a practitioner.
Oh, birth workers. I love you and I intimately know some of the common patterns and struggles you face in this work. I have been in birth work since 2011, and have also supported many birth workers as an educator and mentor during that time. I've seen or experienced much of it myself! Overfunctioning, imposter syndrome, grief, fear of persecution, sleep deprivation, people pleasing, and an overall erosion of Self energy that can happen when we are in burn out.
I would love to help you uncover what parts of you are participating in any of these patterns or any others that you're experiencing, so that you can bring more balance to your system. Because at the end of the day, it is crucial that birth workers have the support they need so they can have longevity doing this crucial work in the world. It is my absolute honor to be a part of that mission.
For Birth Workers
For Pregnant Women
And For all women
All that being said, I am very open to working with all women, regardless of life stage, that resonate with this approach! I would be so happy to meet you and your parts where you all are at :)
I am not a therapist, and refer you to a therapist if your needs are beyond my abilities and skills (extreme parts, self harm, major trauma).
"In less than 24 hours since my session with Margo, big realizations and insights have been transpiring. Through her presence, she was able to guide me exactly to the part that I needed to shed light on and be present with. I didn’t know what to expect going into the session and had no idea where it would go but afterwards it felt almost as if a veil had been removed from this part of me I didn’t even know existed. Now that I have given this inner dynamic some attention, it is now an ally versus a sensation my mind wanted to fear. This work is profound and Margo clearly has a very natural gift in this space. I can see this work being extremely effective when I am ready to conceive to break through the subconscious barriers I have around all things pregnancy, birth & motherhood. I’m eager to see how she integrates IFS into birth work and think it’s a profound way to connect to the deeper more subtle parts of ourselves we so easily can override." - Sami
Single Sessions are $99
Each virtual visit is 60 minutes long. You can expect some talking at the start of the session to focus in on what you'd like to work on with me. The rest of the session will be spent exploring your inner world together, in what feels like guided meditation mixed with communicating what you are experiencing.
We always work at the pace your internal system wants to go, without agenda or forcing. And we are almost always surprised about what comes up for you to meet and learn!
I'm so deeply honored to do this work with you.
