It’s time to reclaim your power for a positive birth.

Tired of unhelpful, unsolicited advice about your upcoming birth?

- Just breath/trust and you’ll be fine.
- Don’t get too attached to your birth plan.
- You’ll be begging for two epidurals before the end!


We see you. And we’ve been there– 17 times between the two of us, actually! It’s incredibly common to feel frustrated and scared during pregnancy. 

And to be totally honest, we are riled up about it. We’re Maryn and Margo, independent midwives with 27 years of combined experience helping women and birth workers.

Well-meaning people are full of shoulds when it comes to birth. If you’ve ever heard...

You can have the epic, powerful birth of your dreams.

We’re SO OVER IT - hearing incredible women tell us stories about their crappy birth experiences, being bullied by care provers, not feeling prepared for life after birth...the list goes on.

I did a lot of work on myself and for my process through the 13 Moons Course and I feel that it really made a HUGE difference for me in having the birth I wanted and an already better postpartum than I had with my first.

"It really made a HUGE difference for me in having the birth I wanted"

Thank you for making this course accessible and insightful. It has changed my life, my pregnancy and will profoundly be a huge journey in my birth process. I love how connected to my body, baby and health I feel.

"This course will change the way humanity moves forward choosing birth options."

Victoria

Even in all my years of studying spiritual-science, psychology, philosophy, and herbology, I have found no other education more useful and necessary than the self-study information available through the 13 moons Course on the IndieBirth platform.

"I have found no other education more useful and necessary"

Shea

Yes, It Really Works

You’re looking for a one-size-fits-all formula when it comes to taking responsibility for your health, your birth and your life. No course can offer that to you.

This is not for you if you want surface-level knowledge. It’s a deep dive into all the information and self-discovery that birth requires. This is also not a “ childbirth method” or a dogmatic home birth/freebirth/hospital birth course. We don't care where you give birth, we just want you to have all the information, inspiration and support you need to figure it out for yourself.

It is a true journey into the knowledge of birth, but also into yourself and the ancient connections and intuitions you already hold.

This course may not be for you if...

You will have unlimited access to the course materials for as long as we continue to offer it! This means you can come back to it again for future pregnancies, and utilize our preconception and postpartum information in between.

How long will I have access?

Each of the 13 Moons, or modules, includes video classes, PDFs, journal exercises, podcasts and exercises.

What does each moon/module include?

YES. You get access to all 13 parts of the course immediately. You can customize your own “schedule”. You may decide to devote a month to each of the 13 moons, or move through more quickly if you have less time at the end of your pregnancy, for example.

Is this a self-paced course?

This course is all online, so you need an internet connection and a computer or phone.

What do I need to complete this course?

You will get immediate membership to our easy, intuitive online learning platform.

... and I had taken 3 birth classes in the past. I am surprised by how much more informed I feel now about the process of birth. I always had a knowing that my body knew what to do, and now I understand that to be absolutely true. The class was open and explorative as well as packed full of useful information. Thank you so much for expanding my awareness of pregnancy and birth well over what I expected!"

...  and got me through the “I can’t do this anymore” stage of labor. You have no idea how much you helped me with my own birth experience. I will always be grateful for your level headed, personal, raw, intelligent and honest way of sharing your stories. Thank you. Indie Birth is a gift, and a deeply refreshing antidote to the mainstream medical birthing world. It’s what I had been looking for for a long time, and I found it just weeks before my first home birth (to my second child)."
