About Us

Welcome to Sacopee Midwives! 

We are a group practice of three primary Certified Professional Midwives. The practice name describes the Abenaki lands of the Saco and Ossipee River Valley where the practice started. This area is peaceful, yet powerful...as birth is.

Sacopee Valley Birthing Services was born in 1994. Over the years, the practice has been gifted with the help of many amazing people; we are grateful to all of the midwives and students who have worked with Sacopee Midwives, there are too many to list!

At this time Brenda, Acadia, Grace and Danielle are the primary midwives and split all practice duties.

When you hire Sacopee Midwives to be your care providers, you get a team. Four providers who care deeply for you, and for each other.

The group practice model allows our clients to benefit from our overlapping but unique collective knowledge and experience. Four brains are better than one! It also ensures that you will always have a well-rested team of two care providers you know at your birth.

For the midwives, it means that we can take rotating time off call, which keeps us fresh and balanced to provide the best midwifery care possible when we are on call, while still ensuring that a member of the practice is always available for our clients. We feel this group practice model offers a sustainable way to give our clients quality, individualized midwifery care, while also balancing the needs of our own families.
