Meet The Midwife

Hello and Welcome! I’m Savannah Hartman, CPM-TN. I began my journey in serving women through midwifery in 2007. I had just graduated from high school and began researching this crazy, intriguing thing I had heard about called “home birth.”  It was in those moments of research that I found the calling that I had been searching for and I became obsessed with all things birth and babies.  

In 2008, I had the immense privilege of beginning to attend births as a student with a wise, traditional midwife who had helped pioneer the resurgence of home birth in the United States, Lenny Sue Tinseth, LM CPM.   Simultaneously, I became a student of Ancient Art Midwifery Institute graduating in 2013.

After graduating,  I served as a community midwife for a short time in Northern Nevada before I decided to take a break and fully focus on my own journey into motherhood.  I am tremendously thankful for the time spent having three home births and just being my precious girls’ mama. Those birth experiences deeply shaped me and helped me to become a better midwife in ways no amount of didactic or clinical learning could have.  

In 2018 my family and I moved to Tennessee and in 2021 I was able to return to serving families through midwifery.  Since that time, I have had the opportunity of interning with two Knoxville midwives and completing several midwifery skills days and courses including Breech Without Boards, B.E.S.T., Augustine Colebrook’s Skills and Drillz, Spinning Babies, Suturing for Midwives, Thyroid Testing in Pregnancy, Neonatal Resuscitation, Basic Life Saving for Providers, Fetal Heart Tone Assessment, Fetal Positioning, and Emergency Breech. In August of 2024, I had the immense privilege and life-long dream of completing my requirements to become a CPM by going to Pennsylvania to serve the Amish community with Diane Gosling, CPM at New Babi Clinic. 

I subsequently became licensed to practice midwifery in Tennessee in February of 2025. Continuing to always learn more is ever at the forefront of my mind and heart and I am committed to the pursuit of increasing in wisdom so that I can ever serve families better. For me, midwifery is a calling to serve the Lord through serving mamas as they welcome their little ones into the world.  I am truly thankful for each mom, baby, and family who has given me the honor of playing a small role in their story.
