Tiffany Gorman is an Evidence Based Birth© Instructor, SMC certified doula, Certified Lactation Specialist, 200hr Registered Yoga Teacher in Kemetic and Vinyasa yoga, 100 hr Certified Meditation Teacher and a French Intensive aromatherapy practitioner.
Her career with children and families started at her daughter’s preschool. She did a cooking demo with the preschoolers one day, and fell in love with teaching. Working as an assistant teacher at her daughter’s preschool, she took early childhood education classes at Olive Harvey College, a City College of Chicago school. Within 2 years, she received her certificate in early childhood education. After 6 years in daycares, Tiffany became a governess. In this intimate setting, her curiosity about how children develop started to grow. She enrolled at Erikson Institute in the Master of Child Development program. It was during this time, she began reflecting on her birth experience, and that of other Black women she knew. Speaking to a Fiskite midwife friend, Jeanine Logan, she enrolled in Shafia Monroe Consulting doula training. During the first 2 years of becoming a doula, she volunteered with Chicago Volunteer Doulas as a monthly on-call doula.
Since getting her degree in 2020, Tiffany has been to several births during the pandemic and serviced scores of families as a postpartum doula. In her capacity as a doula, she believes in providing families with evidence-based answers to their questions. She offers meditations and affirmations for parents to build confidence in their abilities. Tonics and oils to aid in healing are custom blended for clients upon request.
Tiffany is President of the Board of Directors for the Chicago South Side Birth Center. A center helping address inequities in birth outcomes by providing culturally centered midwifery care alongside families and within the community to promote wellness and abundance in whole health. She is also an active member of the Chicago Black Doula Alliance
Becoming an Evidence Based Birth© Instructor was the next logical step for Tiffany. Wanting to get information into parents' hands so they can make informed decisions, Tiffany utilizes group and private workshops to get this message out.
