Tiffany

owner

My name is Tiffany and I am so excited to serve this community through Mountain Miracles Midwifery! I opened MMM in 2015 with a passion and heart for helping women empower themselves to achieve the pregnancy, birth and postpartum story of their dreams! I have served MMM as both a nurse-midwife and business owner and have watched it flourish and grow to become the incredible community it is today! What a privilege! After catching over 300 babies and birthing 3 of my own (with another on the way any day now!), I decided I needed to adjust my priorities to best support our midwifery team and practice, as well as my family and take on a full-time admin role. I was gifted with four beautiful women and midwives who serve this community as faithfully and thoughtfully as I do and it has freed me up to put my focus on keeping Mountain Miracles healthy and thriving the way it needs to be! My days now are filled with chasing babies and toddlers while balancing a laptop and advocating for women the way they deserve! I wouldn’t want it any other way!! I’m grateful for all that Mountain Miracles Midwifery has brought into my life and cannot wait to see what the future holds!

 

In the little bit of spare time I possess, I love being with my family on a beach in Florida as much as I love being in our camper in the Colorado mountains! My family is very active in the community we serve and we continue to see it as a privilege to live here and love on those we serve. I feel a deep gratitude for every family who has trusted Mountain Miracles Midwifery these last 8 years and nearly 900 home births to care for their loved ones and allowed us to join them in the intimate and sacred space that is bringing new life into this world! My life literally is a dream every day and it brings such joy knowing how blessed we are to serve women in the capacity we do!

Lauren, MS, CNM

Advanced Practice Nurse & Certified Nurse-Midwife

I’m Lauren, I’ve been a Certified Nurse Midwife since 2018 (UC Denver - Anschutz). I’ve spent my whole career in the medical field taking care of mothers and babies, initially at my alma mater for my bachelor’s degree, University of Missouri aka Mizzou. I joined Mountain Miracles Midwifery after I graduated with my master’s degree. I knew that home birth was for me. I have loved these past years with my whole heart, and am so grateful to be part of a group that makes home birth accessible to so many in our community.

 

Walking with mothers and encouraging them to claim their autonomy and power is truly why I’m here. Pregnancy and birth are a huge transition/transformation in our lives and we deserve to be in our power physically and spiritually. We deserve to have our choices respected, not tolerated. We deserve to be recognized and supported as the beautiful matriarchs we are becoming each and every time we birth.

 

I gave birth to my own daughter in February of 2023 and am loving learning how to be her mother. I feel absolutely supported and cherished by my incredible husband. We love being outside - if I’m not midwifing we’re likely hiking, camping, mountain biking or snowboarding. I’m so grateful to be in a practice where I can provide women with such personal care and also have the time and freedom to adventure with my family.

Rachanee, DNP, CNM

Advanced Practice Nurse & Certified Nurse-Midwife

Hello! My name is Rachanee. I have been working in birth for nearly 10 years. Initially, as a registered nurse in Labor and Delivery/Postpartum/NICU and as a Certified Nurse Midwife since 2018.

 

My passion for all things pregnancy, birth and babies started at a very early age. Then once I started a family of my own I knew that midwifery was my calling. I believe that women should feel empowered to be active participants in their healthcare. I am passionate about providing evidence-based patient and family centered care while promoting and supporting physiologic birth.

 

I graduated from George Washington University with my Bachelors and Masters in Nursing. While working as a registered nurse I completed a Post Masters Certificate in Nurse Midwifery. I have extensive experience with care throughout the lifespan; including well woman/preventative care, gynecological care, ultrasound, and of course pregnancy! I have assisted with over 800 births as a registered nurse and have caught over 400 babies as a midwife.

 

I live here in Colorado Springs with my husband and five beautiful children. In my free time I love cooking, hiking, and all things nature.

Claire, MSN, CNM

Advanced Practice Nurse & Certified Nurse-Midwife
I have been fascinated with pregnancy and birth since I was a young girl and always knew I wanted to work with families. While completing my bachelor's degree in child psychology at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities I took a course on the history of women in medicine and learned about the origins of midwifery. Learning the foundational values of midwifery practice immediately peaked my interest and changed my life course.
 
In my time before nursing school I completed an internship as a foster parent, worked at a shelter for teen moms, and became a birth doula. Attending births as a doula confirmed my passion for birthwork and interest in midwifery. All of these experiences gave me a unique insight to the intricacies of birthing and raising children. 
 
I then graduated from Emory University for both nursing school and midwifery school. As a midwife my goal is to provide you with information and support you in making decisions that align with your own personal health needs. As midwives we do not “empower women”, instead we allow for space for women to empower themselves through ownership of their birth experiences and reproductive health. I do not fear birth, but instead have a deep respect for it and frequently find myself in awe of all that the human body can do. 
 
When not working you can find me outside exploring nature, in the kitchen trying new recipes, or cuddled on the couch with a good book.

Testimonials

Tiffany is a highly knowledgeable nurse midwife who provides wonderful quality care in a peaceful way (especially for an anxious first-time mom-to-be)! As a health care provider myself, I knew I did not want a hospital birth, but care with a strong medical basis was important. Tiffany was exactly what we were looking for! She provided exceptional prenatal and postpartum care! I always felt heard during our sessions and felt comfortable asking Tiffany anything and EVERYTHING! She was extremely encouraging during my delivery and had an excellent team right alongside her

My husband was so hesitant with having a home birth at first, but when we went to our consult with Tiffany she put all his worries at ease! After we left there we felt no need to even go to the other consult we knew this was the right fit for us! Lauren delivered my sweet little guy and it was such a wonderful experience. The support and encouragement I received was something I’ve never found anywhere else. These ladies go above and beyond and are with you every step of the way! I highly recommended them and I plan to come back for our next baby!

When we started looking into doctors and birth centers, we quickly realized that our options were pretty limited here in the Springs. When we found Tiffany she listened to our story and we quickly connected with her, her energy, and all that she shared with us. I walked out and immediately knew she was the one to guide us on this journey! On the day of delivery she showed up and two and a half hours later our little girl entered the world. She was brilliant and provided relief when I needed it most, made me feel safe and secure, and strong and capable the entire time. I am so appreciative!
