Tiara Flynn was born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada. She has been volunteering and working since she was a child when she realized her passion for public service. Immediately after graduating high school, Tiara enlisted in the Air Force, where she spent nearly a decade. During that time, she completed three duty assignments, three overseas deployments, and numerous other relief and humanitarian missions throughout the U.S. Halfway through her
military career, Tiara joined her family marketing firm as a majority owner and CEO. Tiara has been a successful business owner for over 12 years, winning various awards and recently thriving through a global pandemic. Today, she runs two small business, an online marketing membership platform, serves on various business and community boards/committees.
From her birth experiences and working with a holistic birth center in Miami, Tiara started helping family and close friends with their birth planning as their “unofficial” doula. The role developed organically. Tiara is now a non-medically trained community worker who supports people during the full spectrum of pregnancy – from preconception to birth, to abortion, to miscarriage, to adoption, and postpartum. Additionally, to expand her
knowledge and to best serve her clients, Tiara recently graduated from a medical assisting program at Northwest Career College and is now a certified medical assistant (CCMA).
Tiara Flynn
Secretary, Full Spectrum Doula, Certified Medical Assistant (CCMA)
Advocacy – “to change what is, into what should be”
Tiara’s philosophy is that everyone should create their own birth story. She consistently reminds her clients that their doctors, midwives, medical staff, doulas, etc., work for them. Through her doula work, she hopes to help families understand their rights and find their voice throughout the experience. Tiara believes she was called to birth work (more specifically, to be an advocate for the voiceless). Ultimately, her primary goal is to provide families with a positive, healthy, and happy experience during pregnancy, labor & delivery, and postpartum. With the Phenomenal Mama experience, families will be educated, supported, and have an advocate in their parenting journey.
Jordan Fullow
Treasurer, Certified Birth and Postpartum Doula, Certified Prenatal & Postpartum Yoga Instructor, Childbirth Educator and Mama.
As a Las Vegas native, Jordan Fullow is honored to support and serve families in her hometown.
​
Jordan's love for holistic health expanded after giving birth to her own daughter. She set out to learn as much as she could about birth work, lactation, yoga and childbirth education.
​
While graciously supporting parents as a Professional Nanny for the past 6 years, Jordan heard a new calling. she dove deeply into becoming a Certified Birth and Postpartum Doula and just couldn’t stop there. She craved more knowledge after having a difficult time breastfeeding & she yearned to know how to guide and support birthers down this new journey, so she started my training as a Lactation Consultant. This motivated me to become a Childbirth Educator-giving me the tools to empower and educate women + parents through their birthing options. Jordan kept going — she had to know the best movements + relaxation techniques for her clients, so she indulged in becoming a Certified Prenatal & Children’s Yoga instructor. Thus leading Jordan to confidently provide personalized, well-rounded care to all of her birthing families.

Although she hold many titles, “Mama” happens to be her most cherished one of all. In her downtime, she genuinely enjoys having the opportunity to watch her spunky daughter laugh & grow. Becoming a mother has always been one of Jordan's biggest dreams. They often find themselves going on fun adventures or vibing out for the day watching Finding Nemo or Coco together! Outside of her beautiful daughter, Jordan enjoys hiking, trying new restaurants, and nourishing her spiritual practices.
A guiding quote that currently echoes in my mind: "No me van a quitar lo único que me hace libre hoy en dia, MI VOZ".
I saw this quote in the streets of Mexico and it perfectly encapsulates the importance of using my voice, gifts, and talents for collective liberation.

A quote that has really helped me in my life is
"Our lives are not determined by what happens to us, but how we react to what happens; not by what life brings us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events and outcomes. It is a catalyst a spark that creates extraordinary results." U.K.
