Meet Tiffany James. Pediatric Nurse Practitioner, co-owner of Bluebird Pediatrics, and a compassionate advocate for family-centered care 🩵

Bluebird Pediatrics was created with one mission in mind: to offer children the kind of care that feels personal, unrushed, and deeply rooted in trust. The team at Bluebird Pediatrics brings years of clinical experience, a calm and reassuring presence, and a genuine love for walking alongside families as their little ones grow.

Tiffany’s approach blends evidence-based medicine with the belief that parents deserve providers who listen first. Whether it’s a newborn check, feeding concerns, developmental questions, or the everyday worries that come with raising tiny humans, Tiffany meets each family with patience, clarity, and heart.

Bluebird Pediatrics is built on connection, education, and support; and we’re grateful to work alongside Tiffany as part of St. Augustine’s growing circle of family-focused care.

We can’t wait for you to meet her 🐦 ✨

Taking control of your birth story doesn’t mean predicting every moment. It means understanding your options, trusting your voice, and choosing a care team that listens to you.

When you feel informed and supported, you make decisions with clarity instead of fear. You move through labor with confidence in your body. You participate in your care rather than being spoken over.

Your birth story belongs to you. Your preferences matter. Your intuition matters. Your experience matters.

At The St. Augustine Birth Collective, our goal is to help you feel safe, seen, and fully in charge of your journey from pregnancy through postpartum.

Because when you have real support, you don’t just give birth. You feel empowered by it.

Welcome to The St. Augustine Birth Collective. Our space was created to bring pregnancy, birth, and postpartum support together in one place. When you walk through our doors, you are stepping into a community that cares for the whole journey, not just one moment of it.

Inside our walls you will find your midwife, pediatric care provider, lactation specialist, licensed mental health provider, massage therapist, acupuncturist, chiropractor, Well-Woman Care, and more. You will also find pregnancy and postpartum support groups designed to help you feel connected, understood, and never alone in the transitions you are moving through.

Everything here is intentional. Every room is meant to feel welcoming, safe, and grounding. Every provider is here to walk with you through the questions, the emotions, the decisions, and the celebrations that come with growing your family.

This is comprehensive care for pregnancy and postpartum. All in one place. All centered around you and your baby.

Pain in labor looks different for everyone, and so do the tools that help you cope. The goal isn’t to “power through” or choose the “right” method. It’s to find the techniques that make you feel grounded, safe, and supported in your body.

There are so many ways to work with contractions: water therapy, breathing, a warm birth space, massage, movement, a TENS unit, a birth comb, cold washcloths, and a strong support team. Emotional release counts too. Swearing, crying, laughing, and vocalizing are all normal parts of the process.

Your midwife and birth team will talk through every option with you and help you discover what feels best in the moment. You’re not expected to know exactly what you’ll need ahead of time. Birth is fluid, and your tools can be too.

However you choose to navigate labor, you deserve care that listens to your body and honors your experience.

Meet Tiffany Martin. Licensed Midwife, mama, birth advocate, and one of the hearts behind The St. Augustine Birth Collective 🤎

Tiffany believes that birth is safest when families feel seen, supported, and deeply informed. Her approach is calm, grounded, and collaborative; because your care should feel like a conversation, not a checklist.

With years of training in physiologic birth and a passion for evidence-based midwifery, Tiffany walks with families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum with equal parts expertise and compassion. Whether your journey unfolds exactly as planned or takes a few unexpected turns, she’s committed to making sure you feel held, respected, and empowered every step of the way.

We can’t wait for you to meet her and to experience the kind of care that truly honors you, your body, and your baby.

Golden Hour with Baby Sofia 💫




Immediately after birth, your body releases a powerful surge of oxytocin, endorphins, and prolactin — nature’s way of helping you and your baby bond, recover, and thrive.

This hormonal cocktail is strongest in the first hour after birth — which is why skin-to-skin and quiet bonding time are so important. 💛

Hospital births are beautiful too 🫶🏼
Transfers happen for a variety of reasons, and with The St. Augustine Birth Collective, each step is a discussion with your care team. We will always lay out the benefits, risks and options — and no matter what, our team will go with you. Because midwifery care doesn’t end when plans change.

What are some reasons for transfers? We’re glad you asked!

Sometimes it’s prolonged rupture of waters, which by Florida Midwifery Law requires a higher level of care to prevent infection.

Sometimes it’s maternal exhaustion, or the mother’s desire for some extra pain management.

And sometimes, it is a very clear medical indication that is just simply outside of the safe practicing scope of a Licensed Midwife.

Our midwives are licensed and thoroughly trained in low-risk, physiologic birth. In fact, they study specifically for physiologic birth management for almost 4 years.

But sometimes, birth steps outside of those lines. And when that happens, we will always prioritize the safety of mom and baby over our transfer rate numbers.

Let us be clear: transfers are not failures. And when you have a midwife who will have that conversation with you honestly and thoughtfully, and accompany you every step of the way, no matter what — that is how we heal generational birth trauma and improve outcomes for moms and babies.

And that’s what we’re all about 🤎

We can’t wait to give back to our community through this project. Stay tuned, the fun is about to begin 🤩

✨ A moment for Big Bro ✨

One of the most beautiful parts of homebirth? Your children can be present to witness the miracle of physiologic birth — in a safe, familiar space filled with love. 🏡🫶🏼👶🏼

Benefits of sibling presence at birth:
🌿 Promotes bonding from the start
🌿 Normalizes birth as a natural part of life
🌿 Reduces feelings of separation or jealousy
🌿 Offers a powerful, unforgettable family memory
🌿 Helps older siblings feel included, valued, and connected

With gentle preparation and support, many children handle birth beautifully — often surprising everyone with their calm presence and curiosity. 💫

Birth isn’t just the arrival of a baby… it’s the transformation of a whole family. 🤎
