KIND WORDS

Savanna I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for everything you did for us while we were at the birth center. You were our Rock. You stayed with us almost the entire time we were there instead of being with your own family. It’s obvious that you truly do care about the mothers, babies, and even fathers that come to the birth center. You have an amazing bedside manner. You know when to be there and when to leave us be, when mom needs encouraging words and what to say, even when dad needs some encouragement to keep mom going. I truly believe that our experience was as good as it was due to your presence, positivity, and encouragement. You truly are a beautiful soul and we are grateful to have had you by our side while we welcomed Naomi into the world. Thank you for everything.

As a mother, I cannot recommend Savannah enough for prenatal and postnatal massage. She has an intuitive understanding of the woman’s body, providing deeply nurturing and therapeutic care that supports both physical and emotional well-being. Her background as a trained doula makes her presence incredibly grounding, and she seamlessly incorporates newborn care when needed, allowing for a truly restorative experience. Beyond her expert touch, she carries a special healing energy that makes every session feel like a sacred moment of renewal. If you’re looking for someone who truly honors and understands the journey of motherhood, Savanna is the best.”

Savanna joined me as a doula and birth assistant for 15 hours of my first labor/delivery. She was an amazingly kind and compassionate person full of insightful techniques! Even during the most intense moments, her encouragement made me feel incredibly well cared for and her presence made all the difference. I could not recommend her enough and hope to have her again in the future.

I can’t imagine my birth story without Savanna as part of it. I am so grateful for what she gave me of herself, it made all the difference. I had no idea what to expect and true to form, was hard to convince to slow down and focus inward as my pregnancy progressed. Thankfully Savanna was persistent. First she referred my partner and I to a weekly birth class with other expecting couples where we could take a time out from our hectic lives each week to prepare for birth and parenthood.
At home, she made us feel safe and comfortable enough to open up dialogue about our relationship, our fears, and our dreams for the future. She talked openly about the potentialities of having our son at the hospital (our only option given our insurance) but never made it seem scary. Just helped us understand that being prepared was critical for feeling in control while we were there. So, we wrote up a birth plan, packed the bags, and when the time came she was at my house in moments. She walked and talked with me, keeping things mellow until we agreed it was time to head to the hospital. I felt confident and ready. I was prepared and I had my team💓 

At the hospital of course my contractions didn’t continue to grow, and the doctors wanted to induce. I was empowered, with Savanna by my side, to defend my own experience and wait for him to come. When he did, Savanna became my physical support as much as she had been an emotional one in the months before. I still feel a bit guilty about how hard I squeezed her with each contraction as I prepared to push. But she was rock solid, she was there. And while my partner and I shared the experience of finally bringing our son into the world, she captured it with photos as I had asked her to. Priceless.

As my son grew she was present through those early milestones, making sure I was caring for my postpartum body, bringing nourishing foods for my body and mind. Again, I can’t imagine my birth story without Savanna. I had no idea how much I needed her, and I doubt I’ll ever understand the full impact her presence made on my introduction to birth and parenting. 

Her presence is so unassuming, she has a subtle way of sharing and encouraging growth. Especially for a woman like me, so busy that having a baby felt at times was just a thing I had to ‘get through,’ her services were critical. Thanks to Savanna I can look back on this most memorable time in my life with sweet feelings, remembering it as guided with intention and light. Thank you Savanna.

Savanna was recommended to me by my best friends who also had an extraordinary experience with her. She was very easy to communicate with and I found myself relaxed and well taken care of by her company she was helpful with knowledge and also practical help and advice. Also Savanna came to see me after i gave birth and was helpful with anything i needed. She is honest and lovely person and I had so much help from her being around and supporting me through the process of giving birth to my son who is 3 months old now. Happy to recommend her to anyone. Having this kind of experience makes you realize how rich life can really be!!!  Thank you always, Kedri and Klaid

Savanna attended the homebirth of our son in May 2019 and we couldn’t have been more thankful and appreciative of her care. She is an absolutely beautiful soul and her positive energy combined with her complete professionalism and knowledge made the  experience one that my partner and I evangelize whenever we have the opportunity. We never had to think about anything other than welcoming our miracle because Savanna knew and provided what we needed (whether it be nourishment, encouragement or a gentle massage) before we even knew we needed it! She always knew just what to do and when to do it and her consistent confident calmness reassured us all through the night. We do not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who wants a glowing presence at the birth of their precious child and should we have another little miracle we would be truly grateful if she attended again.
