ABOUT TIFFANY:
Tiffany is a proud Aboriginal Gunggari woman who is a space holder for women, children and mothers. With many roles and experience in early childhood education, outdoor education, Aboriginal health, midwifery, doula work and women’s business. In this fast paced world, Tiffany strives to connect women and children to their own nature through honouring the seasons and cycles of the land and connection to Country. Be it exploring the bush with a group of children or supporting a woman in birth, Tiffanys work all comes down to a love of holding space for families. Tiffany wishes for all women to re-member the knowledge and wisdom that has been lost and disconnected from us, for women to have autonomy of their bodies and for women to feel empowered to be their authentic selves so that it ripples into our homes, our children and our community. Last year Tiffany launched the first private Bush School of Toowoomba with a strong vision to bring the community together to support wellbeing, getting children outdoors, to slow down, truth telling and support learning through the land.
