Food and making sure people have access to good food are Tiffany's (unofficial) love languages. It's no surprise that Lactation (Breastfeeding/Chest-feeding) is one of her primary focuses as a birthworker. Lactation is a combination of the physiological process and learned skills. Tiffany guides and counsels new parents on the skills they need to navigate feeding their newborn.

Advanced Doula Support
Tiffany Renee is an advanced birth doula: a birth doula who has a background in clinical care and advanced/ongoing training in clinical lactation, in addition to her ongoing midwifery education. In short, Tiffany provides her clients the "heart & hands" of doula services with the informed mind of a clinical provider and midwifery student. As your doula, she does not interpret your labs, physical exams, or perform clinical skills such as fetal heart tones or cervical exams.
