Welcome! I’m Savannah Dunn, MD

My work is rooted in my personal experience as a mother to multiple children as well as my training. I am in the trenches too!

I sang in a choir for a long time, ran track in high school, and have dabbled in creative writing. I enjoy being in nature, listening to a good podcast, engaging in meaningful conversations, and planning new hobbies to try out.

I believe:

  • That being authentic requires guts, and it’s so worth it

  • In the power of connection

  • In the healing power of spirituality

  • In integrating conventional psychiatric treatments with other holistic approaches

  • In finding joy in the simple things in life

  • That our imperfections are beautiful

My Story

I came into this world asking “why” and I continue to look at the world with curiosity. After I moved to the United States and took my first psychology course, I began to get some answers to the “why” of human behavior and emotions. I’ve had the privilege of working with children at various facilities, but nothing in my life has been as challenging, impactful, rewarding, and eye-opening as my motherhood journey. My child’s own health issues led me to integrative and functional medicine, and has shown me the importance of addressing underlying factors with various non-conventional techniques. 

I enjoy supporting women, mothers, and the family as a whole. I’ve seen the impact that a woman can have on those in her life (friends, family, children), and the healing that can take place when women accept themselves and their children with compassion.
