My Story: From Health Challenges to Empowering Families
I grew up in a home where holistic health was a way of life. Taking care of our bodies, staying active, and being mindful of what we put into them was just part of the daily routine. But it wasn’t until I faced my own health challenges in early adulthood that I truly understood how important it is to dig deeper—beyond just treating symptoms—to find the root cause of issues. That experience also taught me the value of advocating for myself and surrounding myself with medical professionals who actually listen.
​
I’ve always loved helping people and sharing knowledge, but my true calling didn’t hit me until I took a childbirth education class. Something just clicked. I realized how much support families need during pregnancy and birth, and I knew I wanted to be a part of that journey. That’s when I found the world of doulas—and it was like everything fell into place. The word "Doula" comes from the Greek term meaning "a woman who serves," and that’s exactly what I set out to do—serve and empower families through one of the most important experiences of their lives.
​
Beyond birth support, photography is another passion of mine, and I love weaving the two together. Capturing the raw, beautiful moments of labor and birth gives families something they can hold onto forever. It’s not just about pictures—it’s about preserving the strength, love, and emotion of the day you meet your baby.
​
I also teach childbirth education classes because I believe knowledge is power. I want families to feel confident, to trust their instincts, and to know they have a voice in their own birth experience. Whether you're planning a home birth, hospital birth, VBAC, or just want to learn about your options, I’m here to support you.
​
When I’m not working with families, you’ll probably find me out on an adventure with my husband, George, and our ridiculously affectionate cat, Grayson. Whether it’s kayaking, hiking, or soaking up the sun at the beach, we love exploring new places together.
​
If you’re looking for someone who will support, educate, and advocate for you throughout your birth journey, I’d love to chat. Let’s connect and talk about how I can help make your experience as empowering and memorable as possible.

The Savvy Doula Client Testimonials
"When the time came and Noelle was ready to be here, Savannah was the one to my aid. She was such a major part of my support system and was a tremendous help with keeping my pain under management. I was able to achieve my goals because of her. She continuously encouraged me and never doubted me, even when I doubted myself. She is not only a wonderful person but is a fantastic doula. Her passion truly shined through in the delivery room. I will forever be grateful for what she’s done for me and my little family." -Hallie Trotter
​
"Even before I got pregnant, I knew I wanted doula support. After interviewing several doulas, I really felt like Madison and her team were the best fit for us. I loved that throughout the process, I was able to get to know 2 of their doulas so that if one wasn't available when I went into labor, I was already familiar with another doula. Madison and Savannah were so helpful in navigating any pregnancy and labor concerns. They offered continuous support and helped me make the choices that were best for me. At the hospital, Savannah was the one that supported us through labor and she was great! She knew what was important to me and suggested positions to labor in and also offered massage through contractions. Having her support allowed my husband to be 100% focused on my needs. Highly recommend this team to anyone considering a doula!!"- Nina Goulding
​
"We had wants and needs with how we wanted the birth to go and Madison and Savannah both made sure that happened. They helped with pre pregnancy with getting me ready for the birth of my son. Plus with getting my stress level down tremendously. Savannah was amazing and very helpful during the birth as well as coming by to check on me after my son was born and made sure we were doing okay. Highly recommend!" -Allison Browning
​
"I needed a doula very last minute for a September birth. Madison and Savannah took me on and I was so thankful. Savannah was at my birth and helped so much for pain management, encouragement and advocacy for my wishes. She did have to step in to advocate for me after my son was delivered and I am so thankful she was there. Savannah even did a post partum visit and brought the sweetest little gift for us. Highly recommend!" -Brittaney Roth
​
"I used Savannah for my labor, and I'm so happy that I did! I reached out to her, not exactly knowing what I was looking for, but once we met, I knew she was a great fit. She was so excited to work with us and I could tell she really cared about giving me the best experience possible. She came to my apartment before going to the hospital and spent time doing exercises, massage, and bath to help the labor progress. My labor was much longer than we hoped for, but she was there the whole time, by my side. She and my husband tag teamed to give me the best support. She was very respectful of our religious observances, and asked questions to make sure she didn't cross boundaries. She was rooting me on the whole time. I recommend her to anyone." -Rachel Dornfest
