Savannah is a Certified Nurse-Midwife and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) with a background in public health, women’s health research, and labor support. After studying public health at UC Berkeley, she contributed to several UCSF studies exploring how trauma and food insecurity during pregnancy affect maternal and child health, investigating parent-child attachment, examining factors in breastfeeding cessation, and assessing access to healthy foods through government assistance programs like SNAP and WIC in the Bay Area. Later, she supported families as a birth doula, gaining insight into the transformative process of birth. Through this work, Savannah discovered her calling to become a midwife—a profession that allows her to care for women and families in ways that honor the whole person, all grounded in the power of one-on-one connection. What she loves most about midwifery is being able to offer a full spectrum of care: guiding someone through their first pelvic exam, supporting families through fertility challenges, celebrating and protecting the sacred journey of pregnancy and birth, nurturing mothers in the tender postpartum period, and offering guidance through menopause. To Savannah, every encounter is more than a clinical visit—it is an opportunity to build trust and rapport, while witnessing some of the most meaningful moments in people’s lives. This is an endlessly humbling and gratifying privilege. Having navigated her own path through matrescence—from preconception and fertility struggles to pregnancy, birth, and postpartum—Savannah brings both professional expertise and lived experience to her work. This perspective fuels her commitment to supporting parents through the transformative transition to parenthood with empathy and connection. She lives in Oakland with her husband and young daughters. In true midwife form, outside of work, Savannah enjoys gardening, baking, pottery, cooking, knitting, and hiking. ​ Professional Interests: Promotion of breastfeeding, perinatal mental health, adolescent sexual health, fertility care, prevention of birth trauma, postpartum care, and women's health technologies.

Amanda is a Certified Nurse-Midwife who brings warmth, clinical expertise, and a lifelong passion for women’s health to her work. Born and raised in Piedmont, just through the tunnel, Amanda knew from an early age that she was meant to serve in this field—thanks in part to an early “changing bodies” class and a mom who believed in education. By high school, she was volunteering her free period to teach freshman health, and her commitment to patient education has only grown since. Amanda earned her undergraduate degree from Washington University in St. Louis, where she worked as a campus EMT and volunteered at Planned Parenthood. She went on to complete her nursing and midwifery training at Columbia University in New York City. Her first years as a midwife were spent at the bustling Coney Island Hospital in Brooklyn, where she cared for patients from all walks of life and had the privilege of delivering hundreds of babies in a fast-paced, high-volume setting. After seven years in New York, Amanda returned to the Bay Area to be closer to family and joined the practice in 2015, which she now calls home —thanks in part to a serendipitous FaceTime introduction during her sister’s birth. She is now raising her own two young children, both of whom were born at John Muir Hospital and delivered by her colleagues, making her commitment to this community deeply personal. Amanda believes that great care begins with connection. She strives to create a supportive, relaxed environment where patients feel heard, respected, and empowered to make informed choices about their bodies and their health. Outside of work, Amanda enjoys hiking, golfing, weekend trips to Tahoe, and spending time with family and friends—many of whom she’s had the honor of delivering. Professional Interests: Physiologic birth, patient education, contraception counseling, postpartum care, and helping families navigate all phases of reproductive health.

Nicole Knight is a Certified Nurse Midwife who blends over 20 years of emergency room nursing experience with the joy of welcoming new life into the world. After two decades of fast-paced trauma care, Nicole decided to put her calm-in-a-crisis skills to good use in a different way: supporting women and families through birth, postpartum recovery, and the sometimes-overlooked journey of menopause. A graduate of Frontier Nursing University (Class of 2022), Nicole has been practicing midwifery for three years and is passionate about providing compassionate, evidence-based care. She has a special fondness for helping women navigate postpartum depression and anxiety, and for guiding patients with honesty, empathy, and a touch of humor when it comes to life’s big transitions. When she’s not catching babies or helping her patients feel seen and supported, Nicole can usually be found outdoors hiking, whitewater rafting, or planning her next adventure. At home, life is joyfully full with her 12-year-old daughter, two dogs (Nellie and Lucy), and four cats who definitely run the household. Nicole believes that healthcare should feel human—because it is—and she’s honored to walk alongside patients in every stage of life. ​Education: UC Davis - Degree in Neurobiology, Physiology and Behaviour, 2001 University of Arizona - Degree in Nursing.

I was born at John Muir Hospital in Walnut Creek and raised in Alamo, California. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Sports Medicine with a pre-medical emphasis from Pepperdine University. From an early age, I felt drawn to a career in healthcare, but it was through post-graduate reflection and research that I discovered my true calling as a nurse practitioner. This role offered the ideal balance—providing comprehensive, high-quality care while allowing me to maintain a meaningful personal and family life. With this goal in mind, I enrolled in the nursing program at Samuel Merritt University in Oakland. During my clinical rotations, I developed a strong passion for Labor and Delivery. Supporting individuals through one of life’s most transformative experiences—childbirth—has been both an honor and a profound privilege. After earning my nursing degree in 2006, I joined the incredible Labor and Delivery team at John Muir Hospital, where I continue to work two days a week as a Labor and Delivery nurse. While working in the field, I went on to earn my Master of Science in Nursing and became a Family Nurse Practitioner. Given my professional interests and experience, I focused my clinical training in Obstetrics and Gynecology. This specialty has allowed me to provide care to women across all stages of life, from adolescence and pregnancy to menopause and beyond. I am proud to be part of a practice that prioritizes compassionate, patient-centered care. My goal is to ensure that every patient feels heard, respected, and confident in the care they receive.
