Melina Dunbar, Student Midwife
Hello! My name is Melina, and I am currently training as a student midwife. Before beginning this path, I worked as an Emergency Medical Technician in both ambulance and hospital settings, where I gained valuable experience in emergency care and learned the importance of staying calm and steady in intense moments. Those skills continue to serve me well, but it was my own pregnancy and birth that truly shaped my calling. Experiencing firsthand how transformative birth can be gave me a deep passion for walking alongside families as they welcome new life.
I believe midwifery is about so much more than clinical care — it’s about creating an environment where people feel safe, respected, and empowered to make the choices that are right for them. I am especially passionate about making sure families have steady support, encouragement, and knowledge so that they can feel confident and cared for throughout the entire journey.
What excites me most about birth work is witnessing the strength, resilience, and love that shines through during pregnancy, labor, and the postpartum period. It’s an incredible honor to be invited into these sacred moments, and I approach each experience with gratitude and respect.
Outside of my studies, I enjoy reading, learning new things, and spending time with my baby and family. In the future, I hope to continue serving families in community birth settings and contributing to a culture where birth is seen as both safe and empowering.

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.
