About Me

 

Hey there—I'm Savannah.

I'm a life coach, storyteller, and passionate advocate for living a beautifully unique life. My work is rooted in radical self-acceptance, a little magic, and the belief that when we fully embrace who we are, everything—from our relationships to our dreams—can thrive.

I grew up just outside Yakima, Washington, in a high-control religious environment where creativity and curiosity were discouraged. I struggled with anxiety, depression, and a fractured relationship with education. I was taught that ambition was selfish and a future outside my hometown or religion wasn’t even mine to imagine.

But something in me refused to shrink. At 18, I left my religion behind and started over with my now-husband, Tom. Since then, we've lived many lives—from a sailboat in Seattle to a small-town during lockdown with our kids, Ford and Thorne, to finally landing in Portland, a place that feels like home.

I reclaimed my love for learning, earning a certification in visual communications, graduating with honors from the University of Washington, and completing an intensive life coach training program. The journey took as much unlearning as learning—and led me to this deeply fulfilling work.

Motherhood brought its own reckoning. After my son was born, I was diagnosed with ADHD and Bipolar 2. That clarity changed everything. It helped me understand my curiosity, burnout, and drive. It also gave my coaching new depth and purpose. While vulnerable, I hope that my transparency around mental health will help to destigmatize a subject that so many people suffer with silently.

Perhaps in an attempt to understand myself, I’ve always been almost obsessed with understanding how people think and what shapes their personalities. Starting with my first MBTI test at ten, I’ve studied personality through frameworks like MBTI, Enneagram, and The Five Love Languages. Eventually, developing my own tools to help clients better understand themselves. I continue to add to my learning through trainings including subjects like trauma-informed care, Cognitive Behavioral Technique, and Relationship Coaching Techniques.

Today, I specialize in working with people who were never meant to fit the mold—those navigating neurodivergence, anxiety, depression, or simply craving a different kind of life. I believe self-accommodation isn’t a crutch—it’s freedom. You don’t need to be more like everyone else. You get to be more like you.

Through every twist in my journey, one thread remains: helping people come home to themselves.

If you’re ready to stop shape-shifting for the world and start shaping a world that fits you—I'm here.

Let’s build something wildly, wonderfully yours.
