Tiffany deeply understands the profound impact that our entrance into the world can have on the course of our lives. Her unwavering commitment lies in helping families understand their birthing options and alleviating fears associated with the natural process of giving birth; through education.

For over 7 years, she has dedicated herself to serving her community as a birth worker, support group facilitator, and lactation counselor. Tiffany's journey began in 2014, fueled by her passion for midwifery. Having been part of more than 600 births in various roles, she realized the importance of providing personalized and wholistic care. She firmly believes that each pregnancy and birth is unique, and every individual's needs should be valued and met.

​

Her extensive training and education come various communities and organizations:

• Abuelita Parteras (Grandmother Midwives)

• Maternidad La Luz, MEAC Accredited

• Midwives College of Utah

• Indigenous Communities of Mexico

• DONA International

• ALP

​

Tiffany's expertise is further strengthened by her successful completion of the NRP (Neonatal Resuscitation Program). This, combined with her hands-on experience, allows her to use all necessary skills to ensure the safety of home births for low-risk pregnancies. Additionally, she has embraced the wisdom of traditional Parteras (Midwives) during her time in Mexico, gaining a diverse skill set that combines ancient practices with modern medical training.

​

Honoring birth as a natural and beautiful event remains a core value for Tiffany.
