Meet Tiffany
CPM Candidate
Tiffany is a mother of 4 who has always been intrigued by birth and babies since she was a teenager. She started babysitting when she was 13 and read all the books about pregnancy and birth. Being a teen mom and having 3 of her children before the age of 21, Tiffany was always present for her friends' labor and deliveries of their children. This inspired her to become a Birth Doula in 2014. in 2016 she added photography as an add on to her slow paced doula business. In 2017 she was able to leave her full time job and pursue Birth Doula and Photography full-time. When Tiffany became pregnant with her final baby in 2017 she decided that a Homebirth would be best for her and hired a Homebirth Midwife, Cynthia Jackson, to help her through the pregnancy and delivery. Cynthia was amazing throughout everything and that inspired Tiffany to take her birth career to the next level. After the birth of her son in 2018 she took a year and a half break from birth work until a Homebirth Midwife Assistant Training came about with a few of the only Midwives of Color in the area. Tiffany took this training in November 2021 and instantly decided it was time to become a Homebirth Midwife herself.

I have been called to midwifery starting in my
early 20s. I've always wanted to deliver babies into the
world but I knew I didn't want to become an OB/GYN.
After attending many of my friend's births I decided to become a Doula in 2014. I loved helping birthing people throughout the process of pregnancy, labor, delivery, and postpartum but I knew I was meant for more. So I started looking into being a more holistic provider and found Homebirth Midwifery. In 2018 I had my first homebirth after having 3 hospital births. It was an amazing and healing experience. The peace I felt being at home and no pressure from my amazing homebirth midwife to do anything I didn't want to do was a top-tier birthing experience. This propelled me even further to be a homebirth midwife. In November 2021 my homebirth midwife and her colleagues were holding a class to become midwife assistants. I jumped at the opportunity because most of my doula clients were hospital-based and I knew I wanted to be more in the home birthing world. As soon as the class ended I immediately decided I was going to look into midwifery classes and ask one of the Midwives to be my preceptor. I did just that and started classes and attending births as a student in November 2021.
