I started forming this group called Survivors of Origins Birth and Wellness. So anytime anyone looked up Origins, they would also see our group, which I'd hoped would make people at least stop for a second and look and think, hmm, that's strange. I wonder what this is about. I don't exactly remember who joined first. It was a few women and it was a little quiet at first.
Nobody was really saying their stories or anything, but then we started getting more and more people joining or trying to join our group. I messaged Markita. I found her through Facebook while I was forming the group. So I first messaged her November 10th of 2023. I just pulled up our messages. I was like, my name is Kristen.

I was a patient at Origins almost two years ago, and I barely, nearly lost my son in my life due to their lack of competence and knowledge. I saw your review for them. I apologized for what had happened to her and that Jennifer was involved.

After what had happened to me and I told her, you know, if she just wanted somebody to talk to, I was here or she wanted to join our group that I had made a group for women like her and like me to come together and maybe find some justice. At first, all of this was about if we could just turn one person away, that's potentially like one person that we've saved.

Eventually, Markita responded to me and she joined the group. And then I posted my story in the group and then she posted hers. And then other people started to post theirs. Talking about all kinds of different things happening in pregnancy. Failures to assess gestational diabetes and address other abnormalities and concerns and near misses.

Dating back years, some of these people had births in the 20-teens. under different care, under ownership when it was Amy, Tate and Gina and Caitlin. For example, in one story, her baby was born after mine. We were there at the same time and she was being seen by Jennifer as well. She didn't know that she was unlicensed.

And during her time as well, Jennifer was also supervising another midwife and saying that this midwife was a midwife in training. While Jennifer herself was the student. Yes, she was training other midwives. This is someone I met through the group. We'll call her Jane. Jane had reported this to me through direct message. She was saying how in her birth class, one of them lost their baby.

It was really shocking and so sad to see all of these negative experiences. I did not know Amanda at the time, but Markita knew Amanda. They were at Origins together. They were pregnant at the same time, in the same birth class. Their due dates were like days apart. That's how Markita knew Amanda and brought Amanda to us. At first I was skeptical. I was like, I don't know.
