In this episode of Birth in Focus, I’m joined by the incredible Maggie Morrison—doula, educator, and advocate for empowered, physiological birth. With over eight years of experience walking alongside families, Maggie brings a wealth of insight and heart to this conversation.
We chat about her journey into birth work, the evolution of her role as a doula, and her thoughts on potentially becoming a midwife. One of Maggie’s biggest passions is optimal fetal positioning, and we dig into why it matters so much, how it impacts labor, and practical ways to support it.
Whether you're a seasoned birth worker, a new doula, or an expectant parent wanting to better understand your body and baby during labor—this episode is full of wisdom and encouragement.
What We Cover: ✨ Maggie’s journey into birth work ✨ The emotional and practical side of supporting families ✨ Her thoughts on midwifery and what’s holding her back (for now!) ✨ Why optimal baby positioning is a game-changer ✨ Tips for doulas and parents to encourage alignment and movement
