THE MIDWIVES OF DOS MIDWIFERY

Tiffany Rankin

The birth of my sweet daughter has been a radical act of self discovery, humility, and grace. I was blessed to experience pregnancy, birth, and postpartum with beautiful, loving care from start to finish. I truly believe when a woman is loved on, listened to, and supported, she is tenderly carried through to postpartum and the initial days of motherhood that will impact the family unit forever. Birth is a blessing and gift. Every birth is unique and beautiful, and as your midwife, I will be there to guide and facilitate a birth experience that will empower you for the rest of your life. I take pride in the art of midwifery, and my goal as your midwife is to provide loving, peaceful, and knowledgeable care that will set the foundation for your journey into parenthood. I believe home-birth is a safe and sustainable way to birth your child, in the presence of midwives who are as invested in your birth as you are.

When we’re not at a birth, you can find us surfing, swimming or snorkeling, road-tripping + camping with our husbands, hiking, running with our pooches, knitting, gardening, planning adventurous vacations, and cooking + communing with our amazing family/friends over a home cooked meal.

After being blessed to experience the journey of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum as a midwife, I've gained a profound understanding of the transformative and impactful nature of this life experience. Becoming a mother is a sacred act that changes everything in deep, healing, and mysterious ways. My own pregnancy, with the care of my sister Tiffany, who is also the other half of this practice, was a dream come true and the biggest blessing. I can confidently say that you are in the best hands with her by your side. This work is truly spiritual, and I am honored to be a mother and a midwife.

My passion lies in reproductive health, whole-being wellness (mind, body, spirit, psyche), and holistic midwifery care. I strongly advocate for the freedom of each woman to choose what is best for her and her family's unique needs, receiving loving touch every step of the way. I am also deeply passionate about the baby's experience and involvement in the conception, pregnancy, and birth journey. Babies are intuitive and active participants in their unique experiences. I aim to build a trusting connection with the baby, so when they are born, they will recognize my voice and touch. A peaceful pregnancy and birth journey is equally important for a baby as it is for a mother (and father too!).

My vision is to facilitate the birth experience every woman and family desires. I strive to surround you with love, grace your journey with a gentle touch, and create a warm feeling that will last a lifetime. Safety and genuine support through evidence-based research and practices are the cornerstone of Dos Midwifery. Every woman desiring the love and care a midwife provides should have one.
