Tina Khiani is a registered nurse and certified lactation consultant with 8+ years of experience in NICUs, postpartum and birth center settings. Her passion for working with women and children started after volunteering in Uganda and witnessing firsthand the midwifery model of community care. After spending a majority of her career in high-intensity NICU settings, she saw a glaring need for parent support both prenatally and after discharge from the hospital. She started her Mama Coach practice in 2023, just one month before having her first child. Despite thinking of herself as an expert, Tina experienced an unplanned cesarean section as well as breastfeeding struggles with chronic low milk supply. Her personal experiences help fuel her desire to be the support new parents so badly need when things may not go as expected. Through her Mama Coach practice, Tina focuses on lactation support, CPR education as well as informing families about newborn and child sleep norms. Her goal is to provide parents with the best evidence available and partner with them in making the right decisions for their families in a judgment free space. She currently resides in Haddonfield, NJ and serves families in the South Jersey and Philadelphia regions as well as virtually.
