2024 Excellence in Entrepreneurship: Morgan Miller, Soft Corner Midwifery

Morgan Miller, 

Soft Corner Midwifery

2024 Excellence in Entrepreneurship

The Excellence in Entrepreneurship award is to recognize a local business that has either begun or expanded in the past three years and that has impacted the world in a positive way. It often goes to brand new businesses, and this year, we’re proud to honor one of our newer businesses in the region whose specialty happens to be one of the oldest practices in the world, which is Soft Corner Midwifery in Bath.

Morgan Miller began her business on Feb. 21, 2020. By June, while the world was coming to terms with a worldwide pandemic, she had hired an assistant midwife and rented a space in Cape Elizabeth. By September, just six months after starting the business, Morgan moved the practice to Bath and built out a space inside Union + Co with two assistant midwives. The steady growth continued for the next three years, and they opened their birthing center at 94 Richardson St. in Bath in September 2023 with three midwives, two assistant midwives, one nutritionist, one lactation consultant, one pelvic floor physical therapist and one clinical administrator. Since then, Soft Corner has added an acupuncturist, another lactation consultant, a postpartum specialist and a childbirth education instructor.

Design was a big part of Morgan’s career before opening the midwifery, and you can see the expertise and thought put into building a space that is warm and soothing for the parents. Morgan, with the help of partner Joshua Langlais, took a vision for the center and manifested it into reality. Morgan credits Joshua as being a steadfast supporter, sounding board and the one who “keeps her nourished.”

The services provided are clearly defined: “At our core, we value autonomy, justice, and equity. Soft Corner Midwifery supports all family constellations in a safe and nonjudgmental space. We believe in providing empowering reproductive care while fostering intuition and self-advocacy.”

Soft Corner Midwifery uses a current and evidence-based approach, keeping you informed and confident throughout your decision-making process. They offer everything from advanced testing — which includes labs, ultrasounds and specialty testing — to holistic gynecology, pregnancy care, the birthing center, and postpartum and newborn care. It’s an individualized holistic approach to help each family reach its goals.

Morgan will tell you she couldn’t do it without the people around her, as she is always crediting her colleagues for being the incredible caregivers that make this dream a reality. However, this journey never would have begun if Morgan didn’t have the vision, strength and belief in her concept to take that initial leap. Although it all moved a bit faster than she originally anticipated, the first birthing center in Bath was manifested over four years; from concept to a thriving center for women’s care and a place where families begin their next chapters.

Giving people options for their most personal needs makes our region more inclusive. Soft Corner Midwifery is a shining example of seeing a need in the community and creating a solution. The empathetic service helps women and families in a time of need and has created place of comfort that will continue to grow and evolve as the needs of the community members change. Your impact on our region is tangible and welcomed, congratulations on the success and thank you for the service you provide.

Congratulations to Soft Corner Midwifery, Morgan Miller, and her team on being named our 2024 Excellence in Entrepreneurship award winner. 

Soft Corner Midwifery won the Bath-Brunswick Regional Chamber’s 2024 Excellence in Entrepreneurship award at the 2024 Annual Awards Dinner held on March 8, 2024 at St. John’s Community Center in Brunswick.
