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.

Margo Kennedy CNM, MSN, Clinic Midwife
Margo’s love for children brought her to midwifery. After graduating from nursing school in 1975, she worked in pediatrics at Children’s Hospital in Los Angeles, and there she began to notice that moms that reported a more positive birth experience seemed to have a closer relationship with their children. So she started working in Labor and Delivery in 1980 to help moms with that transition to motherhood. While there she discovered that the journey that brought families to that moment really began much sooner. At that point she went to midwifery school and became a Certified Nurse Midwife in 1993 so she could be present for the entire journey that families take. Since 1993 Margo has worked at four different LA hospitals; opened a home birth practice in 2001 and then a Birth Center in 2013.
Since becoming a midwife, she has delivered over 3000 babies. She believes that pregnancy and birth present a blessed opportunity for a woman and her family to realize their own strength, as they become a family. She finds such joy and honor in accompanying them on this amazing journey and she is confident that she has the skills to provide the safe space they need to realize their dreams. To ensure that midwifery care remains an option for birthing families and their future children she is dedicated to educating future providers in medicine and midwifery.
She is the proud mother of three wonderful sons and has also been blessed with four amazing grandsons. After retiring in 2023 she moved to Temecula to be closer to family. She loves morning walks and gardening but missed being with pregnant women and their families. Fortunately, Acorn Community Birth and Wellness Center had a space for her to practice what she loves, midwifery.
