About Tiffany
As cliche as it is, the birth of my daughter in July 2007 changed my life. It wasn't just her that was born; a family was born. Watching my husband turn into a father, my self turn into a mother, and my baby turn into a girl has been the most rewarding event of my life, and when my son came along in August 2009, we had the privilege of doing it all over again.
I will not lie – the transition from being a single person or a couple to being a parent is incredibly difficult. That is why this work draws me. With a strong support system, including professionals such as doulas and lactation experts, family members, and friends, the way can be a little smoother.
To put my passion for birth, breastfeeding, and babies into action, I have obtained Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC) status and have completed postpartum doula training through DONA International, with certification as a postpartum doula to follow. Ultimately, I plan to obtain a masters degree in human lactation from Union Institute and University and become an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). I also have a B.A. in writing from Metropolitan State University.
