ABOUT
Meet Tiffany (she/her)
I'm a Philadelphian gal who studied Acupuncture and Clinical Herbalism in Chicago before moving to Seattle several years ago. I was a full spectrum doula for over 6 years, serving just under 200 clients in that time. I have a 20+ year background in Egyptian, Turkish, and West African dance, in addition to Tai-Chi and meditation. Across all of my studies, I have had the honor of consistently supporting clients through their fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and/or loss journeys.
These days, you can find me practicing as an IBCLC in the Puget Sound region and attending midwifery school.

Your sessions with Tiffany are guided by the wisdom she has gained along this journey AND the active guidance of the above- mentioned mentors.
Midwifery
Midwifery is a deep legacy calling for Tiffany. Her ancestral history is rich with great grand-auntie midwives of the South Carolina coastal region (Gullah) and Virginia Piedmont area. She was raised by generations of family members who cooked from their souls, danced from their hearts, and were in-tune with their divine purpose: to help others heal.
Tiffany is a senior student at Cedar Medicine School of Midwifery. Use the contact page to ask where Tiffany is apprenticing. (Hint: you've probably spotted her roaming around Gig Harbor, Tacoma, and Federal Way)
