Find a birth or postpartum doula. There are a range of levels of experience for doulas from the newly trained doula to a doula with many years experience. There are a range of "well seasoned" to "brand new" doulas to fit your needs. Doulas listed on our website do not work for MBRNPC or the Local Chapter. We support a mother's right to choose the type of birth that is right for her - un-medicated, medicated, cesarean, VBAC, home birth, hospital birth, or birth center birth. Every woman will choose birth practices that she feels is right for her and regardless of those choices, our goal is to support her during this incredibly important time. There are variations in philosophies and practices in the professionals listed in our member guide. The doulas within our network are trained by a national or internationally recognized organization. It is the responsibility of each consumer to verify the credentials of each professional. MBRNPC encourages consumers to interview professionals to determine which professional is the right person for their needs. Some doulas may provide volunteer services while others will charge a fee for service, MBRNPC does not regulate a doulas' fee but the network does encourage doulas participating in this program to consider each families' situation and circumstances.

My name is Tayna Chessman, and I am a midwife assistant and doula with a passion for women and home birth! I learned about home birth as a young teen when a family whose children I cared for chose to have their second baby at home. They had a wonderful experience. I believe that birth is normal until proven otherwise and believe that birth can be trusted and respected in low-risk women! I am currently working hard to bring a freestanding birth center to Temecula, Ca. Tayna in her final year of midwifery school at the National College of Midwifery and she can't wait to began to offer midwifery service.
I developed an appreciation of diverse cultures and approaches to nutrition and health as she traveled to distant countries while traveling with my children. These travels were driven by a curiosity for new experiences and tastes. Often when returning from my travels, my children and I would experiment with recreating meals and crafts that were not readily found at home. The healing power for plants started as a hobby and turned into a passion. When I'm not working, you can find me at home with my two kids, researching and playing with old-fashioned remedies. (My kids are the official taste testers of all of my new tea formulas) I also spend much of my free time reading about women’s health, history, and spirituality
