Ellie Daniels is a Certified Professional Midwife who has been involved with homebirth for over 30 years.  Ellie began her study of midwifery just after the birth of her daughter at home in 1978.  After apprenticeship, she opened a practice in the MidCoast area in 1983. Ellie has a long-term commitment to mentoring new midwives. In addition, she is energetically involved in achieving state and federal recognition of CPMs through legislation and advocacy. She teaches at Birthwise Midwifery School in Bridgton, Maine, and is the president of the Midwifery Education Accreditation Council, which accredits direct-entry midwifery schools.

In the interest of helping to change the culture of birth in our country, she has written a middle school curriculum about normal birth, and a book about homebirth for children and their families. She has three children, three stepchildren, and five grandchildren, three of whom were born at home. In her spare time, she loves to garden, knit, hike, sauna, and sit by the pond watching the antics of kids and adults on the diving tower.
