Rena's Bio: I am a certified HypnoBirthing educator and have been teaching for over 7 years and have been DONA trained to be a postpartum doula. I have three boys 3,6 and 9. 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. I'm an in-person teacher and never got into a zoom class to teach (I also had my third baby in April 2020). I love teaching families in person. Parents can call me, email or go on my website, www.renachandler.com , for any questions they might have.
