Meet Savannah

Savannah graduated from Mt. Hood Community College in August of 2020 and began working as a PTA shortly after. Prior to moving to Idaho, Savannah spent a year working in a private pediatric practice in Washington that specialized in intensive therapy and reflex integration. Through this position Savannah had the opportunity to take several continuing education courses and receive hands-on training in dynamic and postural reflex integration, archetype movement patterns, neurotactile work, oral-facial work and stress hormone release. Through her clinical experiences Savannah gained valuable experience treating children in a holistic manner that addresses the whole child and their individual needs. She also has experience working with children with diagnoses such as Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, Autism, Spina Bifida, Arthrogryposis, Rett Syndrome, Club Foot and others. Savannah has always had a passion for children and has been involved in various children’s ministry programs, worked in childcare, volunteered for adaptive sports programs and taught dance for a variety of ages and abilities. In 2017 Savannah started an adaptive ballet program specifically tailored to children of all ability levels and varying special needs, including a wheelchair class. Since then, the program has gained recognition from several organizations including the Oregon Pediatric Special Interest Group, the Oregon Ballet Theater and the Northwest Rett Syndrome Association and she is looking forward to extending the program’s reach to Mountain Home. Savannah believes all children should have the opportunity to engage in extracurricular activities with their peers regardless of ability level and strives to help children achieve their highest potential both in her adaptive ballet program and the therapy setting.

Outside of work, Savannah enjoys activities such as hiking, paddle boarding, exploring the outdoors, sewing, art/crafting and all forms of dance.
