MEET YOUR MIDWIFE
Hi, I’m Tayna.
Tell me what brings you here.
Before we talk about appointments or a birth plan, I want to hear your story. What are you looking forward to? What would you like someone to take time to explain?
I’m a California Licensed Midwife and Certified Professional Midwife. My approach brings listening together with clear information and thoughtful planning.
THE PRACTICAL SIDE OF A PERSONAL CHOICE
The care you hope for.
A plan you understand.
If your family uses a Christian health sharing ministry or another sharing membership, start with the care you want and the questions you need answered.
Explore individual guides for CHM, Medi-Share, Samaritan, Liberty, Zion, Impact, Solidarity, Altrua, and Covenant. Health sharing is not insurance, and each organization decides whether an expense is eligible.
BEFORE THE POSITIVE TEST
Your hopes belong here, too.
Perhaps you are exploring parenthood on your own, planning with a partner, or considering donor conception. You do not need a finished plan to begin a conversation.
Our IUI service remains in development. Learn about the planned service and bring your questions about the path ahead.
A place to return to as your questions change.
Explore our resource library, journal, and insurance and payment guides. Share a page with someone preparing alongside you, or bring a question into your next conversation.
A few questions, answered
How do I start care with San Diego Midwifery?
Begin with a complimentary 30-minute Talk to Tayna consultation. Discuss your goals, city, timing, and the service you need. Clinical assessment and enrollment are separate steps.
Can I ask about fertility before I am pregnant?
Yes. You can discuss your questions and learn about the planned IUI service. IUI treatment appointments are not currently open through this program.
You can begin with a conversation.
Tell Tayna what brings you here—the care you are hoping for, the questions you are carrying, or simply where you would like to start. We can talk through current availability and what the next step would involve.
