Meet Your Doulas
Founder of SoCal Doulas | Birth & Postpartum Doula | Midwife, LM, CPM Doula Trainer with ProDoula
Tayna
Hi, I’m Tayna, founder of SoCal Doulas (formerly Inland Empire Doulas), a Certified Birth & Postpartum Doula, and a Licensed Midwife in the state of California. I’m also a graduate of the National College of Midwifery. Since 2019, I’ve had the honor of supporting families through one of life’s most transformative seasons—helping them find calm, confidence, and connection in the moments that matter most.
My passion is creating a space where families feel truly seen, supported, and cared for—whether that’s guiding a birthing parent through labor, helping new parents find their rhythm during postpartum recovery, or offering overnight newborn care so everyone can rest and heal. I believe every birth story deserves respect, tenderness, and evidence-based support that’s tailored to each family’s unique needs.
As a ProDoula trainer, I also have the privilege of mentoring the next generation of doulas sharing practical skills, compassion, and professionalism that elevate this work and strengthen our communities. My midwifery background gives me a deep understanding of both the physical and emotional landscape of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, allowing me to support families with insight and empathy.
Through SoCal Doulas, I’ve built a collective of dedicated doulas who share my belief that families thrive when they are cared for with intention and heart. Together, we’re here to nurture, educate, and empower so every family can begin their journey feeling supported, confident, and deeply cared for.
Deirdre
Birth & Postpartum Doula
Experience is the best teacher and my heart is full of it.
Hi, I’m Deirdre Robbins. As a mother of four and a grandmother of three, I know firsthand that birth and the first weeks of parenthood are among the most transformative moments in a person’s life. My mission is simple: I want every mother to have a healthy, happy, and successful birth experience.
Serving Riverside County and the Hemet area, I provide a bridge of support, communication, and expert care. As a certified Birth and Postpartum Doula and Breastfeeding Specialist, I combine my professional training with the wisdom of someone who has been where you are. Whether we meet in person or via telehealth, I am here to ensure you feel heard, loved, and fully supported.
Deirdre Robbins, CD & Breastfeeding Specialist
Based in Hemet, California, I provide comprehensive birth and postpartum doula services to families throughout Riverside County. Certified through Childbirth Professionals International (CPI), I specialize in both labor support and lactation education.
I am committed to accessibility in maternal healthcare and am a Medi-Cal certified provider. I proudly accept IEHP, Health Net, L.A. Care, and Kaiser. My practice is built on a foundation of clear communication and evidence-based advocacy, offering both in-person and telehealth services to meet the modern needs of my clients. My goal is to empower you to achieve the birth outcome you desire through dedicated, passionate support.
Julianne
Birth & Postpartum Doula
Julianne here! I’m a birth and postpartum doula serving Riverside, San Bernardino, and Orange counties. I offer gentle, grounded support through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I believe birth is a sacred and deeply human experience, where strength, trust, and tenderness come together. With a calming presence and deep respect for each family’s unique story, I support parents in feeling held, seen, and truly cared for every step of the way.
I’m known for bringing a steady sense of peace to the birth space and creating an atmosphere where families can feel at home in their own rhythm and confidence. I currently accept Kaiser, Health-Net, IEHP, Carrot, and self-pay.
When I'm not holding mamas or babies, you can usually find me sipping a boba or belting my heart out at karaoke.
If your heart feels at home here, I’d be honored to journey with you through this sacred season.

I’m a calm, grounding, and trauma-informed doula who brings both professional expertise and lived experience to the families I support. With 7+ years of professional experience in fertility, surrogacy, and birth support—and as someone who became a mother young, completed nine IVF cycles, and has given birth four times—I understand the emotional and physical journey to parenthood on a deep level, including the barriers many women face within the healthcare system.
My goal is to help you feel safe, supported, and well-informed.

My approach is culturally rooted, client-centered, and trauma-informed.
