Acadia (she/her) grew up in Utah and found her way to Maine in 2015 to study at Birthwise Midwifery School. Before midwifery, she trained as an EMT, but it was the call to support families through pregnancy, birth, and early parenting that truly resonated. Acadia is passionate about the relationships she builds with her clients and believes deeply that thoughtful, informed, and individualized care helps families step into parenthood with confidence and power.
She joined Sacopee Midwives in 2019, completed her Birthwise training in early 2020, and became a licensed Maine midwife later that spring. Her early education took her to birth centers and home birth practices across Maine, New Hampshire, and Idaho, and she continues learning every year through continuing education and the collective wisdom shared by her midwifery partners.
Outside of midwifery, running is her second great love. Acadia coaches athletes (pregnant and not!), races ultra-marathons, and writes about running—especially the intersection of endurance sport and pregnancy.
Acadia lives in Brownfield with her partner who is endlessly supportive of unpredictable birth schedules, and her two dogs, who are decidedly not.
