About Crystal Duffy
AUTHOR & TEACHER, TWIN TO TWIN
Crystal Duffy is an author, teacher, speaker, NICU parent advisor, and mother. Her memoir, Twin to Twin, details her high-risk twin pregnancy and NICU journey. Her traumatic birth experience led her to support other families through her classes: Life After the NICU and Expectant Twins Parents Class.
She is working on her second book, Changing the NICU Conversation, a book highlighting the importance of patient and family centered care and peer-to-peer support for families in the NICU. She travels the country attending healthcare fairs, symposiums, and conferences sharing her “Emotional Tale of Empowerment” to inspire healthcare providers and other families.
