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.

Cove is the happy go lucky one in our family.

She is almost always happy; but the last few nights she has been getting sad at bedtime and asking me a strange question.

“What life am I in??!” has been how she’s said it.

At first I thought it was kind of funny. I mean, who doesn’t feel that sometimes.

WHAT IS THIS LIFE WE ARE IN?

She went on to explain that she “doesn’t know what is going on or who I am” and I also felt resonance with that sentiment at 47 years old.

Why do 5 years old have such life wisdom?

There are so many moments in life when we do feel and notice that we are separate. We aren’t truly separate from Source or God, but we start to forget where we came from (probably around her age).

But the wisdom is in us.

I wanted to share this kid-ism because I totally feel it relates to our Sacred Birth Certificate program.

Birth is so important and such an initiation. But it doesn’t make up all of life, and it seems that many of us, while we’re here, have these existential questions.

I know I’ve had so many more this last year and wondered how to make the leap out of “we just train midwives” to “we support the creation of amazing conscious WOMEN who are powerful in LIFE and also want to do birth work”.

They never were separate, really, but we’re at the point where we NEED to expand the box.

Our Sacred Birth Certificate program is for women that crave the wise way. It’s for women, birth workers or life workers that want MORE. They want to go DEEPER into the mysteries, the unknown and the way all parts of different knowledge bases come back to birth.

We aren’t truly separate from Source/God and what you will find in this program from our collection of women wisdom keepers is a remembering.

We close registration on October 14, and for this first cohort, the cost of this course is roughly 1/4 what it should be.

Check it out and see if it resonates with you.

Enrollees get lifetime access and the ability to submit for a Certificate at any time; for your own validation or to show your community that you have dug deep in this sacred birth program.
