Tiffany Kahofer Birth & Postpartum Doula in Port Huron, MI

Tiffany was a true solace to me throughout my pregnancy and birth of my 2nd daughter. Before I was even an official client of Tiffany, she listened to me for well over an hour delve into my previous birth trauma, and relaying to me that my birth to follow would be handled with more care. Tiffany provides a service every mother is deserving of, she’s insightful, informative, and incredibly empathetic. I walked into my 2nd birth feeling informed, confident, and held emotionally by Tiffany. Truly do believe God gave Tiffany this high honor of caring for mothers and babies, she loves what she does and it shows in her words and actions. Tiffany played such an important role in my redemptive VBAC and I couldn’t be anymore thankful! I recommend Tiffany to every expecting mama I know!

Tiffany at Black River Birth Services is such a sweet and accommodating Doula! She assisted my hubby and I in my first completely natural birth of our baby girl! She ensured everything went as comfortable and smooth as possible. She was overall a great support to have throughout my pregnancy, birth and even postpartum journey! We were blessed with a great Doula who’s highly educated in her field and very passionate about what she does. If you’re looking for a Doula who personally cares and isn’t just performing a job then make sure you get with Tiffany! 🤗💛

— Brittany Whaley

My doula Tiffany was amazing! She is very passionate about her role in supporting women through their pregnancy/post pregnancy journey. There hasn’t been one moment where I felt let down. I’ve learned so much from her during childbirth education that helped me shape my labor/birth experience for the better! Honestly without having her by my side things would’ve been a lot harder. I 100% recommend her to anyone and everyone! Don’t pass up the chance if you ever are wondering who to trust in your doula services.

— Lilliee Behler

I had the best experience with Tiffany at Black River Birth Services. She did such an amazing job supporting me through my birth, considering I am a first time mom she gave me all the education on everything birth and postpartum related I loved getting to know her and taking with her ever session, I got her recommended by a friend and i definitely recommend her to anyone that needs a doula or is looking for one she is and was the best doula and id choose her again if i decide to have another baby. I truly enjoyed my experience with Tiffany.

— Chasidy Gregory

I had no idea what a doula really did and my insurance called me to connect me with Tiffany. From the start she was very attentive. I had heard of the term “birth plan” but really just wanted to survive birth and have a healthy baby. There was so much more to it! She went over things I had never even heard of and I was so grateful for that. I feel like I learned more from her than my OB! I felt truly ready for birth by the time it came around. I had to be induced and ended up being in labor for 30 hours on Halloween so at that point I didn’t feel that in person care was necessary. However, I’m positive that having Tiffany for in person support would’ve been wonderful. I highly recommend her!

— Alyssa Hunter

Absolutely loved having her involved with the birth of my granddaughter!!! Super sweet careing well informed great with young moms!

— Samantha Mathews

Tiffiany is a amazing doula my pregnancy experience with her was amazing i had multiple appointments with her and she keep me very informed on the process of how everything was going to go when I was in labor she was more than perfect and she was helping me progress by giving me different positions to try so I could stay comfortable and she kept asking if things where going accordingly and the way I wanted it to go she is a amazing doula and I am still having visits with her even as im postpartum!

— Sarah

Tiffany is a wonderful person to help on a prenatal and postpartum journey. I would highly recommend her for anyone. She helps with anything you need and will try her best to answer any questions you have during the whole process. She may have started as a stranger in the beginning, but it ended as a great friendship

— Kelsey Glasgow

I have had a wonderful experience with Tiffany! I had a less than perfect experience with the birth of my first daughter and it left me with a lot of fear and worry going into the birth of my second but Tiffany was there for me every step of the way. She was a consistent reassuring presence that I needed throughout my pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a doula!

— Sydney Wofford

If you are on the fence or in the market for a doula, please choose Tiffany to support you in your birth journey. I have had 2 very traumatic birthing experiences prior to knowing anything about doulas, and decided to ask Tiffany if she would partner along side me and my husband this third pregnancy and she did. My birth by far was the best birth I’ve had all because of her! I felt stronger in advocating for myself and baby throughout the prenatal and delivery process, supported in my decision to try breastfeeding this time, and she’s got the resources and answers to all your questions. In labor she noticed my fears of yet another possible birth trauma setting in and she stepped right up to first calm me down, and second be the clear thinking mind to find all the right questions to ask to make well educated decisions. Tiffany literally feels like family after this experience and I would highly encourage you to hire her for your next pregnancy.

— Jessica Ganley

Tiffany was amazing from the moment I first called her to now even after the birth of my daughter. Tiffany is very educated in all the options one could essentially “choose from” for their birth plan. However she was not at all pushy or try to sway me one way or the other which was very comforting for me. She reassured me the entire time she was involved in our birth story, making me feel even more confident walking into the hospital to give birth. The support she gave in the delivery room was truly unmatched. It truly felt like another member of my family was there to hold my hand. We ended up with a NICU stay, and Tiffany was checking in daily on both me and the baby. For a postpartum mom that meant the world. I cannot thank Tiffany enough for care and support and just true and honest love throughout the whole experience lol. She is an amazing doula but just an even better person in general! If you’re thinking about reaching out, stop thinking and do it. You will not regret it!

I had a great experience with my doula Tiffany. She was very attentive with making sure I had what I needed as far as information with things I had questions about and she was very caring. She was punctual with appointments. Having her by my side made things easier and allowed me to have extra support, whether it was me just needing to talk or it was her telling me I’m doing good when I felt like I wasn’t. The cherry on top of it all was having her by my side during my C-section and helping me welcome my baby boy into the world and helping me with recovery, if I decide to do it all over again I would love and appreciate her to be there.

— kapreica gaddy

Tiffany is a wonderful doula and the perfect addition to the birthing team! She is extremely educated, therefore being an essential part of my decision making process. She was encouraging, loving, and helped remind me what I’m capable of. I couldn’t recommend her enough!

— Hallie Miller

We had an amazing experience, I would definitely recommend you try for your self! She answered all of my questions, had a ton of information ready for if I wanted it, she's polite and relatable and very supportive. My husband is very involved in our baby and the experience and he was also very supportive to him giving him good information and feedback with our making him feel awkward. She was a great addition to my birthing experience being a part of the room without needing attention or requiring brain power. It was really nice to have someone else who knew what I wanted out of my birth.

— Christina Frost

Tiffany is an amazing doula she is very accommodating and willing to take your phone call or texts messaging any time listens to you and gives you really good advice when needed. I highly recommend her you won't regret it. Thank you for your wonderful service and helping my through my pregnancy ❤️

— Stephanie Dulac

I could not recommend getting a doula enough 💗 She made it a night and day difference between my first birth and this one 💗

— Faith Redfield

Tiffany is a fantastic person to have on your birth team! While my birth did not go as planned and I did not get to fully experience her in her true element, I know I was in great hands regardless. She offers informative classes and was always there when I had a question or concern. She was also there for me postpartum as a support and helped me feel good about how my birth went and the decisions that I made when having my son. She is familiar with the doctors in town and with the hospital which is a huge plus.

— Jessica Ruyle

Tiffany was amazing she gave me so much information through my pregnancy to help me make informed decisions for what was best for me and baby. I wasn't able to have a vaginal birth and ended up having a csection for medical reasons but she was right by my side through it all and was in my room after surgery. She worked with me postpartum follow ups as well. I'm beyond grateful for her services and highly recommend her.

— Jessica B

Tiffany was absolutely amazing! She provided my husband and I with so much knowledge prior to our daughter’s birth and was an absolute rock to have by our side in the delivery room. She helped encourage me to stick with my birth plan during a very long labor and provided both him and I with so much support during the hard moments. She has such a calming voice and presence. She has a lot of knowledge and gave me so much peace during a few moments that were extremely overwhelming. Hiring Tiffany was the best thing I did to prepare for and have a wonderful birth story. I think she helped my husband remain calm and focused as much as she did me! I recommend her to everyone I hear is expecting in our area!

— Amanda Bolotta

I reached out to Tiffany last minute and she was still so eager to help me! I truly appreciated her knowledge and her ability to make me feel so comfortable with her in little to no time! Tiffany helped me understand the ins and outs of my birth plan, what to expect and what my rights were. Without Tiffany I would not have been as confident dealing with my first pregnancy/birth and my expectations as a first time mom! Thank you Tiffany!

— Tabatha Ainsworth

We had a great experience with Tiffany. She is full of resources, and has many connections to the community around us, which we ended up relying on. She counseled me through heavy bullying and unnecessary pressures to induce by my OBG, and overall she met our needs quickly and professionally. She found us a reputable replacement doula within 24 hr of finding out she had Covid and then I went into labor. She wasn’t with us for the delivery, but she was helpful in every other way.

— Sarah Pelto

I am so thankful to have had Tiffany during my labor, delivery and postpartum! She provided evidence based information to make decisions easy and made my birth amazing. Since my husband could not make it, Tiffany comforted and supported me physically and emotionally during active labor, truly making it a wonderful experience.

— Cassie Reyes

Tiffany is wonderful! We hired her in January as our birth doula and we are so happy that we did. She encouraged me to go after the birth of my dreams. She is a warm, friendly and caring person and she is great at what she does! She is well educated and goes above and beyond with the support she offers. I was able to have my HBAC with her at my home- encouraging me, assisting my husband and applying counter pressure techniques (I had terrible back labor). I am grateful for Tiffany for her encouragement and support throughout my pregnancy and postpartum.

— Angela

My husband and I can’t say enough good things about Black river birth services. The support and care I received from Tiffany and Katie helped give me so much confidence with the birth of my first baby. They were both very responsive and professional and so so supportive. Katie was on call for my labor and truly felt like a family member in the room with us. She provided so many labor techniques to help with pain and positions to progress my labor. My daughters birth took a total of 20 hours and Katie was with us for 15hrs. She also checked in on us with a home visit to see how me and baby girl were feeling. So amazing!! I highly recommend hiring a doula. I feel so blessed with this birth experience 💖

— Lakin Hering

I could not be more thankful to have hired Tiffany to be my doula. Not only was she there for my many first time mom questions, but the support that my husband felt from her leading up to and on the day of my daughter’s birth was absolutely priceless. Though my birth plan went from an unmedicated birth to a c-section, I felt Tiffany helped me remember the important things I wanted while also supporting me as I was making new decisions in the moment. I HIGHLY recommend hiring her, I think anyone would benefit from having her on your team.

— Lyndsey Wiegand

My husband and I are so glad we ended up deciding to hire Tiffany as a doula for our home-birth! She helped so much to make me feel comfortable and confident; as soon as she arrived during my labour, I started coping with my contractions way better because of her encouragement and coaching. She helped me all the way through to the birth and postpartum too! She was also great support throughout the pregnancy and helped with any questions and concerns I had. All while still maintaining professionalism. 100% recommend!

— Angela Eldracher

My husband and I met Tiffany early on in our second pregnancy. We knew from the get go that we would do anything and everything to achieve a safe and successful VBAC. Hiring Tiffany felt right and we knew we could trust her after our first meeting. Tiffany is very educated on childbirth and all of the many birth plan options. She helped understand our birth plan, while informing us of other laboring options that we may not have known of. Each step of our pregnancy, Tiffany empowered me with confidence that my body knew what it was doing. I had fears since my first pregnancy ended in a c section, but whenever I had doubts, I knew I could text Tiffany and she would help me get out of that headspace. Tiffany is passionate about helping other woman and childbirth. I quickly learned that she worked in a birthing center, where natural birthing methods are used. Knowing that I wanted a hospital birth, an epidural, hep b vaccine and vitamin k, I never once felt judged by my decisions of my birth plan and always felt highly respected. During labor, Tiffany helped remind me of my birth plan wishes and empowered me to stand my ground when my doctor wanted to perform AROM too early. I felt pressure to give in, but Tiffany’s reminder of my birthplan and the facts behind my decision helped me find my voice in the most vulnerable situation. While in labor, my epidural failed and I was experiencing excruciating pain. Tiffany stood beside my husband and I, while reminding me to breath and supporting me with other comforting techniques. I don’t want to think about what labor would have been like without her! If you’re on the fence about hiring Black River Birth Services, here is your sign to give them a call and see if it would be a good fit. I will personally never have another child without Tiffany’s doula support and will always recommend her to all of my pregnant friends. Tiffany is not only well educated on childbirth, but she is also kind hearted and very easy to talk to. I will be forever grateful for her ♥️

I was planning for a vba2c (vaginal birth after two cesarean sections) so I definitely wanted a doula in my corner as an extra support person and advocate. I spent MONTHS looking for a doula to no avail. One night I saw an ad on Facebook for Black River Birth Services and I especially like that it said she was certified in VBAC. I didn't see the area I lived in listed as a a service area but I figured what could it hurt to ask. Tiffany ended up taking me on as a client despite me living 1.5 away and the place I was giving birth at 2 hours away from her! Tiffany was a wonderful resource in preparing for birth as I had never experienced labor before. At one point, she even came to my house when we thought I was going into labor but it was just prodromal labor. Due to going past my due date, I ended up being induced. Once things were progressing along, I asked for her to come up to the hospital. After 27.5 hours of labor, it ended in a c section due to the baby being in distress. There was no one better I could have had by my side! Lastly, I really appreciated her taking pictures during the process at the hospital since it was my first and last labor experience. Any time during or after the pregnancy, she has always been there for any questions or concerns I may have. My only regret is that we didn't get to connect sooner in my pregnancy. Thank you again Tiffany for all you did for me and my baby girl!! 💓

— Priscilla Dark

Get the doula!! My partner and I had Tiffany as our doula and we highly recommend her services. She supported us for 2 days as we went from home birth to C-section. Helping us navigate the hospital, relaying information to family members and helping us make informed decisions. She also has a lot of information and resources if you were to need anything else in your preparation. Can’t say enough good things!! We’re truly so happy in the decision we made to hire her for our birth and we will rehire her in the future if we have another baby.
