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.

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.

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.

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.
