Same Maggie, New Name: Introducing Maggie Martin-Ellis

Life has been full of surprises: twists, turns, and subtle callings to become more fully myself. One of the most personal transformations has been my official name change. You may know me as Maggie Bain, but as of today, I am known as Maggie Martin-Ellis.

Ellis is the name I was given at birth; Martin is my mother's maiden name. I have chosen to weave them together to honor both of my parents as I step into this new era of my life.

This isn't just a name change. It is a reclaiming, a release, and a declaration. I am stepping forward as my whole self: liberated, aligned, and ready for what comes next.
