How Dr. Tiffany Yeo-Reddy Balances Motherhood, Medicine and Meaningful Moments
The first time she gave birth at home, in the warmth of water and surrounded by her closest loved ones, she felt something powerful shift.
It wasn’t just the arrival of her second child, it was a deep reminder of what it means to be held, safe and strong as a woman.
Today, Dr. Tiffany Yeo-Reddy is not only a mum of two (currently six months postpartum) and a practising doctor, she’s also the co-founder of Zest Clinic, which she runs alongside her husband - a holistic medical aesthetics clinic that combines the art and science of beauty with personalised care to help individuals look and feel their best.
Talk to her for just five minutes and you will sense the calm confidence she brings to every role she plays, whether it’s running a clinic, guiding patients or reading bedtime stories at home.
Tiffany’s journey is full of heart and gentle reminders that you are doing more than enough.
1. Hi Tiffany, how did your birth go? Can you share any details about the experience?
My second birth was incredibly special, it was a home water birth, something I had always dreamed of. I was surrounded by my husband, my loved ones, my doula, and even a birth photographer who beautifully captured those raw, sacred moments.
The calmness of my home, the warm water, and the support around me made it such an empowering experience. It reminded me how powerful our bodies are when we feel safe, supported, and connected.
2. What surprised you the most about going from one child to two?
The emotional shift was the biggest surprise.
I thought juggling two schedules would be the hardest part, but it was learning to divide my time, energy, and heart among three little ones, including our first “baby,” my Brittany Spaniel!
It’s a full house now, and balancing attention between my children and fur kid took some adjusting.
But watching them form bonds, seeing my eldest step into a big sibling role, and even the dog growing protective and curious about the baby, it’s all been incredibly heartwarming.
The chaos is real, but so is the love.
3. How did your breastfeeding journey with your second differ from your first?
With my first, everything felt new and uncertain, I constantly second-guessed myself.
With my second, I felt more confident and intuitive. I went in with more knowledge, more support from my doula, and a lot more trust in my body.
I was also more comfortable with setting boundaries and doing what worked for us, not just following the books.

4. Do you have any self-care or wellness rituals that help you feel recharged?
Yes, small, intentional moments keep me grounded. I love morning skincare as a quiet ritual, short walks, or even a few minutes of breathing with a warm cup of tea.
And sleep or a good nap, whenever I can get it, is the ultimate luxury!
5. How do you juggle being a doctor, entrepreneur, wife, and mum?
I take it one day at a time.
Some days I feel like I have got it all together, and other days I just do my best and let that be enough.
I plan, delegate, and lean into help when needed. Most importantly, I remind myself that I don’t have to be everything to everyone all at once, just present and intentional.
6. What’s it like running a business alongside your husband?
It’s a partnership on every level, rewarding, challenging, and always evolving.
We complement each other with our different strengths and keep each other grounded. We have learned to set boundaries so work doesn’t spill into every conversation at home.
Ultimately, it’s fulfilling to build something meaningful together.

7. What does your pumping schedule look like day-to-day now that you are back at work?
It’s a juggle, but I plan ahead and prioritize it like any important meeting. I usually pump once in the morning before clinic, mid-afternoon during a break, and occasionally in the evening if I’m on a longer shift.
I have learned to let go of perfection and just stay consistent, that’s what really helps.
8. Lastly, what advice would you give to fellow mummies navigating work and motherhood?
Don’t aim for perfection, aim for presence.
Let go of the guilt, lean into support, and know that you are doing more than enough.
It’s okay to slow down, to ask for help, to say no, and to put yourself on your own to-do list.
And remember, you’re not just doing both roles, you are showing your children what strength, love, and resilience look like. And that’s incredibly powerful.
