Meet Savannah
Doula & Student Midwife
​
I’m Savannah, a certified birth doula and current student midwife, walking the path of midwifery with deep commitment and a whole lot of heart. My journey into birthwork started young—early mornings watching A Baby Story sparked something in me that never left. What began as curiosity has become a lifelong calling to support families through one of life’s most meaningful transitions.
As a doula, I’ve supported families through a wide range of birth experiences and settings. I hold certifications in both birth and postpartum care, and I’ve completed specialized training in trauma-informed care, lactation support, and physiologic birth. Now, as a midwifery student, I continue to expand my skills and knowledge to better serve growing families from a place of both clinical understanding and deep compassion.
My approach is rooted in evidence-based care, respectful collaboration, and individualized support. I show up fully, whether you’re planning a home birth, hospital birth, or something in between. I'm here to help you feel informed, confident, and cared for—every step of the way.
Outside of birth work, I’m a wife and mama to three girls, a dedicated coffee drinker, and an unapologetic fan of The Sims. Balance and rest are important to me, and I do my best to model what I encourage for my clients—listening to your body, honoring your needs, and holding space for joy.
I’d love to hear your story, your vision for birth, and what kind of support feels right for you. Let’s connect over tea, coffee, or a virtual hangout—wherever you are, I’m here.
With warmth,
Savannah
