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 SOVEREIGN BIRTH BLUEPRINT

Every midwife I know has a similar story but yet there is shame in admitting them. Here’s some raw truths and my own vulnerable stories woven together around the times I was “blamed” as a midwife for a less-than-ideal outcome. I share my truth with the Universe and you all as a way to mend these old wounds, to share story as healing and to ultimately shift our awareness and the work of midwives into a story of dignity and honor; even when the world and others want to tell us differently.
