Hi families 💛
As we continue caring for growing babies, we’re checking in to see if any borrowed supplies are still out there—specifically baby scales.
If you have one that belongs to us, we’d love to coordinate a return. Thank you so much!

And meet Danielle - the latest addition to the S**opee Midwives team!

Before finding her way to midwifery, Danielle studied Sociology and Spanish at the University of New Hampshire. She then spent several years living in Spain, where she taught English and supported exchange students. Although she loved working with young people, she continued to feel a pull toward birth work.

Danielle began her midwifery journey in 2021 as a student at Birthwise and later completed her education through the National College of Midwifery. Her clinical training was rich and diverse: she began in her home state of NH, spent six months at a birth center on the U.S.–Mexico border—an experience that brought together her passions for reproductive health and the Spanish language—and completed an internship in the Philippines.

She joined S**opee Midwives in the spring of 2024 as an assistant midwife and became a licensed CPM in October of that year. Born and raised in Tamworth, NH, Danielle is delighted to be serving her home community as well as the one she has grown to love in the S**opee Valley.

Outside of midwifery, Danielle enjoys gardening, traveling, spending time with family and friends, exploring creative projects, and just about any activity that gets her outdoors.

Meet Brenda!

After giving birth to her first child in 1982 and assisting a close friend with her homebirth in 1983, Brenda felt a profound calling to the field of midwifery. She gave birth herself at “The Farm” in Tennessee, completed her apprentice training in Maine, started S**opee Midwives in 1994 and became a Certified Professional Midwife in 1995.

Since then, Brenda has been part of the care for over a thousand families both in the U.S. and internationally, dedicating herself to expanding birth options in rural and underserved communities. While she’s no longer attending as many births directly, Brenda remains deeply engaged by consulting with other midwives, offering prenatal and postpartum care, and counseling for pelvic floor health.

She’s also the founder of , a nonprofit dedicated to supporting rural families through the postpartum period. Brenda has had the honor of attending all four of her grandchildren’s home births. In her free time, she loves being with family, kayaking, and creating art.
