Meet Tiffany Evidence Based Birth© Instructor, SMC Certified Doula, Certified Lactation Specialist, 200hr Registered Yoga Teacher in Kemetic and Vinyasa yoga, 100 hr Certified Meditation Teacher and a French Intensive aromatherapy practitioner. Since getting her Master in Early Childhood Development degree in 2020, Tiffany has been to several births during the pandemic and serviced scores of families as a postpartum doula. In her capacity as a doula, she believes in providing families with evidence-based answers to their questions. She offers meditations and affirmations for parents to build confidence in their abilities. Along with her book Mindful Minutes for Mothers, she uses tonics and oils to aid in healing. Tiffany is President of the Board of Directors for the Chicago South Side Birth Center. A center helping address inequities in birth outcomes by providing culturally centered midwifery care alongside families and within the community to promote wellness and abundance in whole health. She is also an active member of the Chicago Black Doula Alliance Becoming an Evidence Based Birth© Instructor was the next logical step for Tiffany. Wanting to get information into parents' hands so they can make informed decisions, Tiffany utilizes group and private workshops to get this message out.

I offer Evidence Based Birth workshops, Newborn classes, and postpartum doula services. My Evidence Based Birth workshops range from a 1 hour course on advocating for your needs in the birth setting; a 3 hour more in-depth workshop on advocating, understanding what evidence-based means, and learning how to have the birth you desire; a 6 week full birth education class, with discussions on interventions, comfort measures, and more. My newborn class is a 2 hour quick dive into all things newborn. We discuss the physical items needed for the baby, checking diapers, sleep, nutrition, vaccinations, breastfeeding, and bottle feeding, along with important conversations on bonding and social/emotional health. We practice hands-on swaddling and diapering a baby too! My postpartum services are either day or night time. The daytime service can be watching and feeding the baby while caretakers do chores, run errands, shower, nap, or I can meal prep, do laundry, and do light housework while caretakers are with the baby. Overnight support I will be with baby, soothing, diapering, if on a bottle, feeding, and washing the bottles and any pump parts. If baby is nursing, I will bring baby to parent for feeding, and bring them back in the room. I can offer lactation support if needed.
