ABOUT

Tiffanie Gonzales, CPM

Mother, Grandmother, Caregiver, Midwife

I began my journey to becoming a midwife after being a stay-at-home mom for 14 years. From a very young age, I knew I wanted to be a mother. Fortunately, I found a partner who shared my dream of having a big family. Together, we have five daughters and two sons. My husband, Michael, and I have been married for 31 years. He is my best friend, my greatest supporter, my constant, and my shoulder to cry on. No matter what, he is always there for me.  

 

Our family has since grown to include five sons-in-law, two daughters-in-law, 11 grandsons, and seven granddaughters—one sweet granddaughter is our angel in heaven. Being a grandma is my favorite season of life so far. The Gonzales house is always filled with belly laughs and tiny handprints on the walls, and I wouldn’t have it any other way!  

​

I have had the privilege of attending all my grandchildren’s births and serving as the midwife for all five of my daughters and one of my daughters-in-law. The other hasn’t had any sweet babies yet, but we’re hoping for some soon! There is something truly special about catching grandbabies—an experience I will cherish forever.  

When I’m not attending births or seeing sweet mommas in the office, I love spending time with my family. Some of my favorite pastimes include gardening, canning, making sourdough, reading, and creating things from scratch. I also love being in the mountains and would live there if possible.  

​

I am a Christian with a strong relationship with God, relying on Him to guide me in this work. I recently heard a saying from a grandmother midwife that genuinely resonated with me: "God is the midwife, and I am the tool." I sincerely believe that. Over the years, I have learned to trust birth and have witnessed what a normal physiological birth is meant to be hundreds of times. Birth is sacred and transformative—you never forget your birth stories.  

​

I believe in teaching children from a young age that birth is normal and not something to be feared. Family-centered births are some of my favorites. There’s nothing like witnessing a birth tub surrounded by children and loved ones as a mother catches her own baby—it's a sight that never loses its beauty. Words can’t truly capture the feeling in the room. And then there are the births where moms need every ounce of strength from me and everyone present to bring their baby earthside—those moments reveal just how powerful women truely are.  I love home birth!  

MY APPROACH

I am a natural-born caregiver, and it fills my cup to care for my family and the women I serve daily. I became a doula in 2007 and haven’t looked back since. After two years as a doula, I felt a strong calling to become a midwife.

​

In 2009, I traveled to The Farm in Tennessee, where I earned my Midwifery Assistant Certification under the instruction of Ina May Gaskin. The invaluable knowledge I gained at The Farm solidified my passion for making midwifery my life’s work. After completing my certification, I apprenticed for three years with two Certified Professional Midwives in Las Vegas.

In 2012, I became a Certified Professional Midwife through the North American Registry of Midwives, NARMand have been practicing ever since.

​

To ensure I provide the highest level of care for my clients, I complete 32 credits of continuing education every three years for recertification. This keeps me current and up to date on Neonatal Resuscitation, CPR, and birth emergency skills. I attend several continuing education classes and workshops each year.​​

I have attended Breech Without Borders twice and have a deep desire to keep learning and growing. In August 2024, I had the life-changing opportunity to attend the Born Free Twins & Breech Conference, where I gained invaluable knowledge. More than just learning, I was able to receive wisdom from midwives and doctors who have been practicing for nearly as long as I’ve been alive. You can never have too much education when it comes to birth, and I consider myself a lifelong learner.

​

I have also completed lactation counselor training and am passionate about supporting women in their breastfeeding journey. I follow the Midwifery Model of Care, a client-centered approach to pregnancy and birth that has been proven to reduce instances of birth injury, trauma, and cesarean sections. Midwifery care is truly family-centered, and that is one of my favorite aspects of this calling.

My other favorite part? Mothering the mothers. Of course, I love the sweet babies, but there is something so fulfilling about caring for a mother after she has worked so hard—getting her cleaned up, snuggled into bed, and nourished with a good meal. It fills my heart.

As a care provider, I provide extensive prenatal care, individualized education to prepare for birth, and support during the postpartum period and beyond. I work closely with several care providers in the community, including physicians, educators, therapists, and various support groups to ensure my clients have the necessary care to fit their individual needs. It is important to choose a care provider that is properly trained and will give you all the tools you need to make informed decisions regarding your pregnancy and birth. I strive to implement all the education I have received to ensure my clients are supported in their choices, safe in their environment, and equipped as they transition to parenthood.

 

There is a common misconception in western culture that birth is a medical event instead of a physiological one. The definition of physiological is stated as a branch of biology that deals with the normal functions of living organisms and their parts. Birth is normal and, in most cases, does not need to be treated as a medical event. It has been my mission to encourage change in our culture in the way we view birth. To take away the fear that has been fed to us for decades by helping women take back their divine power. I truly believe if we can change the way we birth then we can change the world for many generations to come. I do this work for the women that came before me and for all the future generations to come.
