About me

Howdy! I’m Savannah, “La Dewla”, a certified doula and trained birth keeper in the Austin/Elgin/Bastrop area. I serve women across the entire spectrum of pregnancy, birth and postpartum and have a special interest in supporting mamas through all types of loss. I am passionate about motherbaby-centered and undisturbed, physiological birth— but I also recognize that it took me having 3 of my own babies to understand what that even means! We all have to start somewhere, and I would be honored to support you and your family no matter where you are at in your mothering + birthing journey, whether that’s a planned hospital birth, a birth center, a home birth with a midwife, or somewhere out in the woods ;) I recognize that there is a lot of polarizing and overwhelming information out there surrounding birth these days. But I believe there is a beautiful middle ground between evidence and nature that I can support you in finding, using your intuition as a compass. I highly prioritize nourishment, community, culture, courage and authenticity in my work. As a Cajun woman, these values were subconsciously drilled into me my entire life. As I moved into birthwork I found that many of these become twisted, homogenized or are forgotten entirely when a woman becomes pregnant- yet they are crucial to her journey being not only fruitful, but joyful as well! If you choose to work with me, I promise to help you fully integrate your pregnancy + birth experience into your life, and vice versa. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to walking the path of motherhood and I am very excited to help you figure out where yours uniquely and genuinely leads you! If you have experienced loss, or are anticipating it, know that I have walked this road and I am here to support you and your family. I have personal experience in walking through miscarriage and stillbirth myself— it is actually why I began my journey as a doula + birthkeeper. I have supported friends, family and women in my community through these kinds of losses as well. I have immense reverence and gratitude for grief, and while it will feel like your entire world is ending, I will hold you and catch your tears as I help you keep moving, surviving and thriving in life again. My service pricing and packages vary based on the unique kind of support you are looking for, but I offer: ✨ Full spectrum pregnancy, birth and/or postpartum support 🍲 Postpartum meal delivery 💛 Grief + loss support ☕️ Birth story processing + debriefing 🌻 Mother Blessing ceremonies 🌖 Closing of the Bones ceremonies Key elements of my holistic approach to doula + birthkeeper work include but are not limited to: 🤰 Physiological birth 🥩 Ancestral + whole-food nourishment 💕 Village building ⭐️ Spiritual connection + integration 🌿 Herbal medicine ⚕️Homeopathy Thank you for taking the time out of your day to consider hiring me to support you and your family in this incredible journey.
