I have had a passion for birth since I was a kid and when I got pregnant with my first child I signed up for HypnoBirthing and it helped me have the birth I knew I was capable of and the rest is herstory.

Acorn Birth Center Yosselin Joaquin

Yosselin Joaquin, Billing Manager

Hi, my name is Yosselin. I am blessed to be a wife and a mother of both a daughter and a son. First, I would like to thank God for finding an opportunity at Acorn Community Birth & Wellness Center. I believe that as women we have a great privilege that makes us worth more than precious stones; the great gift of being able to give birth.

As a woman of faith I love seeing the miracle of how everything from the mother’s womb is wonderfully made by God.

I am a caring, empathetic and dedicated person. I take my job as the word says, “In all the work you are doing, do it heartily as if unto the Lord.” I see my job as a way of helping others with the talents that God has given me. I am happy to serve all the moms in this center.
Acorn Birth Center Kyra Skylark

Kyra Skylark, Intern Midwife

Greetings, my name is Kyra. I am a dancer, a reader, a tree hugger, and soil lover. I pursued my bachelors education with Cal Poly Humboldt of Northern California, I hold a BS in Environmental Science and a BA in Journalism and Dance. While pursuing my degree the world shifted and many of us became isolated during the pandemic; during this time of quiet I felt a whispering towards midwifery.

In 2022 I officially began my journey into the birthworld through the Earthwise Birthworker program, an herbalism and emergency austere doula program with the Human Path School. At the recommendation of a fellow doula, I also pursued grief and bereavement doula training with the Stillbirthday program. Today, I am thankful to be a student midwife with Acorn.

I am here to listen to the stories of wombxn, to witness your fears and celebrate your joys. I am ardently dedicated to learning my own body and supporting others in investigating and tending to their womb and life cycles.

I believe in choice. That each of us has the right and power to choose how we enter this life, how and when we give birth to new life, and how we exit this embodied life. It is my intention to provide evidence based information, individualized care, and unwavering support so that each birthing person may confidently make decisions for their unique being and expanding family.

It is an honor to be walking alongside you during this sacred transformation.
Acorn Birth Center Savannah Bailey, Birth Assistant

Savannah Bailey, Birth Assistant/Doula

Savannah began her career in birth work as a birth and postpartum doula in January 2018 following her entry into motherhood in October 2017. She likens her calling into the doula role as a divine gift, serving her soul’s desire to mother, as she lost her firstborn to stillbirth in the last days of carrying him full term. She describes her birth team of midwives, teachers, photography, and birth classmates as a catalyst for healing. Her journey into the love and safety of the birth working world opened her eyes to love in a new sense. Her aim became to love other moms and babies in the same ways she was loved - wholly.

In her work as a doula, Savannah has experienced many spiritual moments of what she calls “the meeting between heaven and earth”, as the sacred chasm closes in the nature of new life. It has become the most beautiful and special thing to witness moms in their divine strength and it is her honor to serve her sisters in each new discovery of themselves through the journeys of labor.

Savannah now serves as a birth assistant to Acorn Birth Center and is continuing her education also in mental health services. She now has 3 other babies and one more on the way. She looks forward to connecting with mamas and loving people and their littles here at Acorn for some time.
