Hi, I’m Tanya — a home birth midwife based in Winchester, California, serving families throughout Riverside, San Bernardino, and San Diego Counties. I’m a mother of two and have been married for 25 years, and I bring that same steady, grounded care into the way I support growing families. I believe birth works best when you feel safe, seen, and truly listened to. My role is to help you create the home birth you’ve been imagining, while keeping safety at the center of everything we do. This is your body, your baby, and your story. I walk beside you with calm guidance, clear information, and experienced hands—so you feel confident and never alone in your choices. Together we’ll create a plan that honors your values, your culture, and what feels right in your home. My care is evidence-based and community-rooted. I keep a close eye on your health and your baby’s wellbeing, and I make sure you understand your options every step of the way. My hope is that you feel informed, respected, and deeply supported throughout pregnancy, birth, and those first tender days postpartum.

2 days before I met Tayna I felt so hopeless in my breastfeeding journey. Thankfully I found her and that she took insurance. So, I set up an appointment, I can’t express just how much help and support she provided. After the first day with her I was back to breastfeeding and by my next appointment with her I gained my confidence back. Thank you so much Tayna, you have no idea the impact you made for me and my family❤️ also to mention she makes house calls which are so helpful those first few days postpartum.

“I’m an IBCLC and Certified Nurse Midwife with an independent practice providing both full-scope midwifery care and comprehensive lactation services across hospital and community settings. My lactation work spans the full clinical spectrum—from establishing breastfeeding in the immediate postpartum period to managing complex feeding challenges such as low milk supply, delayed lactogenesis, post-cesarean lactation, and infants with dysregulated feeding patterns. I have extensive experience in detailed newborn oral evaluation, including identification and functional assessment of anomalies such as ankyloglossia. I integrate these findings into individualized care plans and frequently collaborate with interdisciplinary providers for frenotomy when indicated, as well as provide structured pre- and post-procedural feeding support to optimize outcomes. My approach is evidence-based, highly individualized, and focused on measurable outcomes. I prioritize effective milk transfer, protection of maternal supply, and long-term sustainability of the breastfeeding relationship. My care plans often incorporate structured supplementation strategies—including the use of supplemental nursing systems to maintain feeding at the breast—alongside selective, clinically appropriate use of galactagogues. I place strong emphasis on ongoing reassessment and adjustment to ensure interventions remain effective. I also have experience supporting higher-risk dyads, including late preterm infants, NICU graduates, and cases involving maternal endocrine or perinatal factors impacting lactation. Working across both inpatient and community environments has given me a clear understanding of care transitions and the gaps families encounter after discharge, allowing me to provide more cohesive, continuous support. My midwifery background strengthens my ability to assess the full maternal–infant dyad and identify contributing factors early, supporting more efficient and durable lactation outcomes. I’m confident practicing autonomously and value strong collaboration within multidisciplinary teams, with a consistent focus on delivering practical, clinically sound, and patient-centered lactation care.”

Nicole was the greatest support! I connected with her last minute and only met her twice before my birth but she made me feel so comfortable and helped get me to labor down. She’s very hands on and I will definitely reach out for the rest of my births😊

Zola has provided us with both delivery as well as post partum support for both of my pregnancies. She was intuitive to our needs, reassuring, caring and supportive throughout. I absolutely loved her holistic approach to recovery and healing ❤️ we consider Zola as part of our family.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Exceptional Doula Who Was Truly God-Sent! If I could give Nicole Jones more than five stars, I absolutely would! From the introduction to the birth day, I knew we were in the presence of someone truly special. Nicole went above and beyond to create a peaceful, soothing, and comfortable environment for my daughter. She thoughtfully transformed the room with soft mood lighting, flickering candles, the refreshing aroma of eucalyptus, and calming spa music. Every detail reflected her genuine care, professionalism, and dedication to making this experience as beautiful and comfortable as possible. Nicole maintained the highest level of professionalism throughout the entire experience. Her knowledge, expertise, attentiveness, and calming presence were remarkable. She clearly understands her role and carries it out with confidence, compassion, and excellence. She didn’t simply show up to do a job; she created an atmosphere of comfort, reassurance, and support when my daughter needed it most. As a mother, watching my daughter go through childbirth was an emotional and unforgettable experience. Having Nicole there was such a blessing. The level of comfort, care, and support she provided was beyond what I could have hoped for. My daughter was amazing, and I truly believe having Nicole by her side helped make the experience that much more special. Nicole was truly God-sent! I am so grateful our paths crossed, and I cannot express enough how thankful I am that she was the doula who supported my daughter during such a precious and life-changing moment. Her passion, knowledge, professionalism, and genuine compassion set her apart. It is rare to encounter someone who combines expertise with such a beautiful spirit and a sincere commitment to the people she serves. If you are expecting a baby and searching for a doula who will treat you with dignity, provide exceptional support, create a calming environment, and bring both knowledge and heart to your birth experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Nicole Jones. You deserve someone who makes you feel cared for, supported, and confident throughout the journey—and Nicole delivers that and more. Nicole, thank you for being such an incredible blessing to my daughter and our family. We are forever grateful for the care you provided. You were exactly who we needed, right when we needed you. May God continue to bless your hands, your heart, and the beautiful work you do for growing families! ❤️
