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.

Meet the Midwives

Acorn Birth Center Sally Wright

Sally Wright, Birth Assistant

Hi, I’m Sally. My journey into birth-work began with the pregnancy of my first child as I was encouraged by a family member to become educated about childbirth and routine hospital practices. Three hospital births and three homebirths later, I was blown away by how much better I was cared for by my midwives in contrast to the OB model of care. I desire to give all moms the same care and education that my midwives gave to me. I strive to help mothers make informed decisions about their own births and to have confidence in their own bodies and the pregnancy and childbirth process. I encourage each family to make evidence-based decisions for themselves so that they can feel the strength that comes from autonomy and accountability. I believe that caring for and educating a mother doesn’t just help her have an empowering birth experience, but affects the way she will mother her child, and therefore can change the world, one mother and baby at a time. I feel called to help families approach childbirth as a positive, fun, exciting and happy experience.

I have been assisting a local midwife in her homebirth practice for three years and I’m grateful for the privilege I have to continue learning with the knowledgeable, fun and committed women at Acorn.

I have been married to Stephen for 29 years and we have six children. We find purpose and peace in our faith and our family. I enjoy exercise, journaling, nourishing food, and striving to live an abundant life.
