GET TO KNOW ME

Hi! I'm Acadia, an ultrarunner, midwife and proud dog-mom. I have a passion for helping people find their power, whether through running, transitioning into parenthood or sometimes both. I believe in the power of running to help us strengthen our bodies and our minds, as well as build community and accomplish our goals.

My experience as a runner began in 2015, and I have since participated in formal races ranging from 13-100 miles, as well as many self supported mountain adventures. I am not a front of the pack runner, and have DNF'd at races. I have found this makes me a relatable coach and can help runners process through all the ups and downs that come with running and racing.

I believe that pregnancy is not a disease and that people with low=risk pregnancies can, and should, continue to exercise throughout their pregnancy. The proof is in the research with lower incidence of hypertension, pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes and postpartum depression found in pregnant athletes.

As in my midwifery practice, I center my athletes in their training plans, paying special attention to how to make training attainable in busy and often hectic lives. The relationship between coach and athlete should be built on trust and mutual respect so that every decision is made with the health and goals of you, the athlete, in mind.

I am a Certified Professional Midwife licensed in Maine and New Hampshire, as well as a UESCA Certified Running Coach.
