Tayna ChessmanI am a California Licensed Midwife (LM) with training in prenatal, birth, and postpartum care. I support low-risk families planning home birth with evidence-based, client-centered care.
With personalized, evidence-informed care, I support families throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. My approach is collaborative and unhurried, grounded in informed choice, clear communication, and compassionate support every step of the way.

Unhurried, Personalized Support
You’re never a number here. We take time to talk through your questions, tailor your care, and prepare you (and your partner) for a calm, supported home birth.
