Tayna Chessman

Full Spectrum Doula

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.

What sets my care apart is simple: I'm family-led. My philosophy is whatever your family needs it to be. I will meet you wherever you're at and support whatever your goals are. We'll clarify your priorities, build a flexible plan, and practice 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. 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.
