Praise
"Morgan is an amazing and loving midwife. We were lucky enough to have her catch not only one, but both of our babies!" ~SL 2016
"Morgan comes highly recommended!"~LG 2016
"Morgan is our no nonsense, down to earth, true to the core midwife. Any family expecting a baby would be blessed to be in her loving, safe and responsible care." ~ HF 2016
Morgan exudes a sense of calming confidence. She made me feel powerful, and like I was in complete control of my body. Her deep, lower back massages helped ease the pain during each contraction, and her motivational words pushed me forward. Morgan caught our baby and placed him in our arms, and I would recommend her to any family! ~AN 2017
There is nowhere I am more comfortable and confident than in my own home. Birth is an excercise in letting go of control; but through home birth with my midwife, the environment and medical decisions feel more so my own. Having both of my babies in my space was such a peaceful and amazing experience. Morgan is a fantastic, stellar, wonderful woman to have at your side for birth - but I should also mention how she patiently and clearly explained all the choices and options during the thorough prenatal care, and how she checked in, supported, and cheered us on in the blissful, stressful, sleep deprived, magical, and critical post partum period. ~ SL 2017
