MORGAN SHIPP

Primary Student & Assistant Midwife

My journey into the birthing world started in 2016 after the birth of my first daughter. As a young, first time mom I felt that my voice wasn’t heard and knew that I wanted to make sure other birthing people felt heard and respected during their birth. I started off with encapsulating placentas and doula work in 2017 and after attending my first birth as a doula I knew that working in the birthing community was where I wanted to be. With my second I decided to receive prenatal care with a CPM and immediately felt a call to midwifery. My own midwife was everything I needed during my pregnancy and birth and that is what I wanted to provide to others giving birth. So we packed up and moved back to Utah for me to start school! I started midwifery school at Midwives College of Utah and could not be more excited to be on this journey. I still find joy in empowering those giving birth to trust their bodies, the process of birth and to know that they are strong! When I am not attending births or doing school work you will find me spending time with my family outdoors or finding a good book to cuddle up with. I have been married to my best friend for almost 8 years and I am the mom to two wonderful little girls who remind me every day to stop and enjoy the small moments.
