Journey
Tiffany was born and raised in Harlem, New York. As a child her biggest dream was to become a Mom but when the time came she encountered Reproductive issues. Suffering from Fibroids, Adenomyosis and severe Hyperemesis gravidarum made it very hard to start a family. Tiffany felt very alone in this Journey to motherhood, with no one around her suffering with these conditions she almost gave up hope in becoming a Mom. Through YouTube she was able to find and connect with other families with reproductive issues. The families were very supportive and after five unsuccessful pregnancies Tiffany and her Husband decided to grow their family via Adoption.
Tiffany’s own health concerns started her wellness journey. The journey includes a dozen years of attending wellness seminars, women’s conferences, studying Trauma informed yoga (YTT) with Yoga Farm Ithaca and learning Mindful mothering via books and podcasts. She feels like her morning walks have really helped her heal different areas of her life and has significantly decreased her Blood pressure. Along with her walks Tiffany enjoys yoga, traveling, thrifting, trying new foods and incorporating sustainability into her life. Her personal and professional journey /path through adulthood and then motherhood has led her to where she is today.
