Get to know me…
Hey, I’m Tiff — placenta enthusiast, birth nerd, and unapologetic advocate for moms who deserve way more support than they’re getting.
I got into birth work after my first two births didn’t go as planned. My first postpartum experience rocked me — postpartum anxiety and rage hit hard, and I realized how little real-world support new moms actually have. There’s this giant gap between giving birth and that six-week checkup where most of us are just expected to “figure it out.” No paid leave, childcare that costs a mortgage, and mental health care that’s often impossible to access. That’s the gap I work to fill.
I started The Placenta Girl (formerly Karma Birth Services) to help moms recover, feel supported, and actually enjoy postpartum — not just survive it.
I’m certified in childbirth education through BirthWorks International, a trained and experienced birth and postpartum doula, and a certified Placenta Encapsulation Specialist through IPPA. I also hold a NJ Food Safety & Handler’s Card, OSHA certification for placenta encapsulators, and advanced training as a Perinatal Mental Health Specialist through Postpartum Support International. On top of that, I’m a Fair Play Facilitator and Bringing Baby Home Educator through the Gottman Institute — because the relationship and household stuff matters just as much as the physical recovery.
I was born and raised in Cherry Hill, where I still live with my two kids and a chaotic mix of pets. I’m a late-diagnosed neurodivergent mom raising two neurodivergent kids, a former homeschooling mom (and I miss it every day), and before all this, I taught 6th-grade social studies and owned a kids’ yoga studio called Yoga Clubhouse.
When I’m not elbow-deep in placentas, you can find me in the garden, on a trail, or at a protest. I love spicy beers, hate small talk, and I’m on a mission to make postpartum suck less for everyone.
