About Me

Hi, I'm Tayna! I'm a Southern California native, mom of two, and your calm-in-the-storm birth companion. Since 2019, I've supported families with grounded, evidence-informed care that blends skilled hands with a steady heart. As the owner of Inland Empire Doulas and Birthstone Midwifery, I've helped parents welcome their babies in hospitals, birth centers, and at home, unmedicated or with epidurals, first baby or fifth, VBACs and everything in between. This work is truly my calling.

What sets my care apart is simple: I'm family-led. I meet you wherever you are and support whatever your goals may be, clarifying your priorities, building a flexible plan, and practicing comfort techniques so your body and mind feel prepared. During labor, I'm the quiet voice and capable presence offering positioning, touch, breath cues, and advocacy so you feel heard by your team. And after birth, I stick around for the real-life stuff: feeding support, recovery tips, and a compassionate check-in as you find your rhythm.

Clients choose me for my mix of warmth and know-how, my respect for all choices, and my commitment to continuity; you won't be handed off to a stranger when things get real. If you're looking for a doula who will meet you where you are, elevate your confidence, and make the journey feel less overwhelming and more yours, I'd be honored to support your family.

Practice Philosophy

My philosophy is simple: I'm family-led, which means my philosophy is whatever your family needs it to be. I meet you wherever you are and support whatever your goals may be, because no two families are the same, and your journey should reflect what matters most to you.

Whether you want hands-on guidance, quiet reassurance, or strong advocacy within your care team, I'll clarify your priorities, build a flexible plan with you, and offer grounded, evidence-informed support every step of the way. My respect for all choices means I'm here to support your path, never to direct it.

Overall, my goal is to meet you where you are, elevate your confidence, and make the journey feel less overwhelming and more yours.
