Meet Tiffany
Tiffany is a well-loved full spectrum Doula Training International birth and postpartum doula. She has supported families in many different settings and is passionate about providing families with the tools and support they need to have a positive experience!
She became passionate about birth during her pregnancy and birth of her daughter. She was able to feel the support of her birth team and the power of her choices being validated. During the process she also realized that birth is not a one size fits all experience. Tiffany truly enjoys empowering her clients to make their own choices and create a birth experience that they are comfortable with. She enjoys supporting families in the many different birth settings that the Chicagoland area has to offer.
Tiffany cares deeply about people and families and she has always worked directly taking care of others. Prior to her doula career she was a makeup artist for over 15 years. It was in this career that she learned the importance of truly listening to clients and finding ways to help them feel empowered and confident. It was here that Tiffany honed her skill of maintaining a calm relaxed environment regardless of the situation. She is able to bring this sense of calm to families who are anxious in pregnancy, labor and postpartum. Families easily feel like they are in the very best of hands when they are being supported by Tiffany.
Her passion is to help families find their voice and know what their options are by empowering them with evidence-based information: this is truly what led to her career as a doula. The training she received mirrored her desire to assist and support new clients from all demographics, including LGBTQIA+, and joining birth justice organizations that focus on vulnerable communities within Chicago.
In her free time, Tiffany finds joy in spending time with her family in nature, cooking for friends and family, and is an avid knitter.
Tiffany is excited to help you learn your options and prepare you for this incredible journey. She is honored to act as a guide through this process and provide you with loving and caring physical, emotional and educational support to help you feel cared for and comfortable.

“Tiffany transformed my birthing experience. I was in a deeply vulnerable state, enduring an intense birth that lasted a grueling 48 hours and was far from what I had imagined. I was scared and in unbearable pain from back-to-back interventions. I felt overwhelmed and out of control. Tiffany was exactly what I needed. She reassured me that my gut was not wrong regarding how poorly the hospital had handled my care thus far and developed a plan with me that helped me gear up for the next stages of my induction.
I felt safe and taken care of. Tiffany made me feel powerful, conveying that I knew my body and what was best me. She had the most soothing voice and calming presence that immediately made everything feel okay. She was knowledgeable both about the medical side of things including interventions, risks, and alternative options, as well as pain management strategies, and quickly caught on to the birth I was trying to have. We used position changes, and exercises that would help advance labor, as well as counter pressure. She helped explain the kind of interventions they were recommending, and what to expect. Her approach was empowering and compassionate.
I cannot sing Tiffany enough praises for her work during my labor. Thank you, Tiffany, for being stellar at what you do and for reminding me of how capable I really am. If you’re on the fence about hiring a doula, Tiffany is your gal. We admire her work and cannot recommend her enough to anyone giving birth or needing post-natal care. We believe it was the best money we have ever spent.”

“I had a great experience with Chicago Family Doulas. Anna the owner is so friendly and nice and will help to match you with your perfect doula. I worked with Tiffany and if you are looking for an amazing doula then Tiffany is the person for you. She made my birth such an amazing and positive experience. Her calm presence and voice really got me through the tough moments during labor. She went above and beyond to honor my birth wishes and did everything she could to help me set the room into the beautiful aesthetic that I envisioned (dim lighting, tea lights, mantra cards). She was also extremely knowledgeable about everything that was going on and helped my husband and I to understand the birthing and recovery process before in our prenatal meetings and during/after the birth. My husband also said she was a wonderful supporter for him and in moments where he needed a break Tiffany was there to step in and help. Tiffany will be a part of any future births I have. I cannot imagine going through labor without her!”
