Certified Professional Midwife Savannah Hartman in East Tennessee

Hello, I’m Savannah Hartman, CPM-TN

My journey into midwifery began in 2007, just after graduating high school. I started researching this intriguing thing I had heard about called home birth — and in those moments, I found the calling I had been searching for.

I quickly became passionate about all things birth and babies.

Learning the Art of Midwifery

In 2008, I began attending births as a student under Lenny Sue Tinseth, LM, CPM — a wise, traditional midwife who helped pioneer the resurgence of home birth in the United States.

At the same time, I enrolled in the Ancient Art Midwifery Institute and graduated in 2013.

Becoming a Mother

After graduation, I briefly served as a community midwife in Northern Nevada before stepping away to focus on my own journey into motherhood.

Welcoming my three daughters through home birth and simply being their mama was one of the greatest gifts of my life.

Those experiences shaped me in ways no classroom or clinical training ever could. They deepened my understanding, strengthened my compassion, and refined the way I care for women.

Serving Families in EAST Tennessee

In 2018, my family moved to Tennessee. By 2021, I was able to return to serving families through midwifery.

Since then, I’ve interned with Knoxville midwives and continued expanding my skills through advanced trainings in breech birth, emergency response, neonatal resuscitation, suturing, fetal assessment, thyroid testing in pregnancy, and more.

In August 2024, I completed my CPM requirements while serving the Amish community in Pennsylvania with Diane Gosin, CPM, at New Babi Clinic.

I became licensed to practice midwifery in Tennessee in February 2025.

A Calling to Serve

I am committed to continuing education and growing in wisdom so I can serve families well.

For me, midwifery is more than a profession — it is a calling to serve the Lord by caring for mothers as they welcome their little ones into the world.

It is truly an honor to be invited into such sacred moments. I am grateful for every mother, baby, and family who has allowed me to play a small part in their story.

“Humanizing birth means understanding that the woman giving birth is a human being, not a machine and not just a container for making babies. Showing women - half of all people - that they are inferior and inadequate by taking away their power to give birth is a tragedy for all society.” — Marsden Wagner
