Hi, I’m Evelyn, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and DONA certified birth doula who is passionate about helping families feel confident, informed, and supported throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum journey. My work began with lactation support, where I discovered how much families benefit from having someone in their corner who listens without judgment and helps them understand their options. As a doula, I’m able to expand that support even further by helping families prepare for birth, navigate the unexpected, advocate for themselves, and feel empowered in their decisions. Whether you’re preparing for your first baby or adding another little one to your family, my goal is for you to feel heard, respected, reassured, and never alone. My philosophy is simple: your birth and feeding journey belong to you.

Hi! I'm Tiffany! Hi, I’m Tiffany! I'm an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, Childbirth Educator, and Cranial-Sacral Specialist. My work has one core belief: our bodies are wise, and birth works best when it’s supported rather than managed. I began this work in 2018 after the empowering, transformative birth of my son — an experience that reshaped not only how I viewed birth, but how I chose to serve families in my community. What started as a passion for physiologic birth has evolved into a deeply embodied practice that supports the whole person. Through childbirth education, lactation support, and gentle cranial-sacral care, I help families slow down, reconnect with their bodies, and make informed choices that align with their version of safety. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care — I believe in honoring context, autonomy, and the unfolding nature of birth and early parenthood. It has been a privilege to support and educate over 200 families, and it remains an honor to witness one of life’s most profound moments — the birth of a family.
