About
Indigi-Kwe Wellness
Indigi-Kwe Wellness was founded on the principles of cultural humility, respect, and a deep understanding of the lasting impacts of colonization on Indigenous families.
Rooted in ancestral wisdom and grounded in community, our mission is to uplift and empower families through culturally centered education, advocacy, and compassionate care.
We believe every family deserves to be treated with dignity, respect, and love. Our approach weaves together holistic care, traditional knowledge, and community connection—creating safe spaces for Indigenous families to thrive, reclaim their roots, and walk in their power.
Birth is ceremony.
Healing is our inheritance
Founder
At the heart of Indigi-Kwe Wellness is Amaris Andrews-DePerry, a dedicated mother, certified doula trainer, childbirth educator, and fierce advocate for Indigenous birth sovereignty.
Rooted in Ojibwe values and teachings, Amaris brings warmth, cultural knowledge, and a deep commitment to healing intergenerational trauma through birthwork. Her vision for Indigi-Kwe Wellness is not only to serve families, but to build a community of Indigenous birthkeepers, helpers, aunties, and knowledge holders.
Though she currently leads the work as a solo founder, Amaris is surrounded by a growing circle of collaborators — aunties, elders, doulas, and future midwives — who support the mission and will be woven into the team as the vision unfolds.
“We are never alone in this work. I walk with my ancestors, my helpers, and every person I’ve ever held space for.”
— Amaris
