Originally from Fort Worth, Texas, I received my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Texas Woman’s University and started my career working in a local Labor & Delivery Unit. I then married a Yankee (don’t hold it against me), and he moved me to Detroit, Michigan, then to Miami, Florida, and finally to Chicago, Illinois—all for his exciting career.
It was at the University of Illinois at Chicago that I received my Master’s in Nursing with a Midwifery designation and developed a deep desire to move back to the Lone Star State. I was tired of being cold! During that time away, I had two children (who have my heart completely), worked in some incredible hospitals as a Labor Nurse, and really developed a desire to serve women.
Birth has always been my passion. I love every part of it! From the first positive pregnancy test, to watching a mother hear her baby’s heartbeat for the first time, to hearing that same baby cry at birth—I find all of it exciting and am in constant awe of how perfectly we are made to carry and birth a baby.
I am a complete geek when it comes to the physiology of human development and can’t help but talk about developmental milestones because they are fascinating. Why wouldn’t you want to know everything about your baby?! I never tire of it. And I never tire of a woman’s need to feel validated, heard, and respected.
You deserve that—you are a woman, for goodness’ sake! It is my great pleasure to serve women such as yourself at this time in your life. I want to give you the very best care I can provide, and I would be honored for the opportunity.

“My favorite part about being a midwife is getting the opportunity to educate women and help them make informed choices.”

Whatever the kids are having—bagels, yogurt, eggs, pancakes, waffles, etc.!
Hi my name is Raeley Hackett. I am currently finishing up my primary births to become a certified professional midwife (CPM). My goal is to be certified by January 2025.
I married my high school sweetheart in March 2024 and we have a silver lab named Skye. We love to go on long walks and go on coffee dates trying new coffee shops as often as we can.
I love working at BirthPointe because our clients always feel like family. I love getting to know the whole family and watching them grow baby by baby. I hope to continue to grow in my midwifery skills alongside the BirthPointe team.
My name is Janessa Statland. I am the team coordinator who will welcome you with a friendly smile, and ensure your experience is seamless and stress-free. I manage scheduling, payment collections, client communication, and lab orders with precision and care. I joined the BirthPointe team in January 2024.
I made a leap of faith and changed my career path after being a restaurant manager for over 11 years. Seeing how much BirthPointe midwives impact families and help women, ensures me that I have made the right decision coming to BirthPointe.
My passion has always been helping people. What better way to help families grow at BirthPointe? I have two amazing dogs, Hagrid & Lily, and I am married to my favorite person in the world, Sean. We love to travel and see the world.
I am a big movie buff, a little nerdy when it comes to Lego and I love nature. I would love it if you stopped by to say hi!
