About
Savannah Jane O’Malley is a wife and working mother of 3 former preemies. She works full-time, pursues her artistic passions part-time, and moms all the time. When her twin boys were born 3.5 months early, everything she thought her life was supposed to be, was shattered. The 1lb warriors spent their first 3 months fighting for the chance at life despite being given many devastating diagnoses, enduring countless ups and downs, and achieving absolutely incredible triumphs.
This season of her life made her discover her true role as a mother and set her on a brand-new trajectory. Through social media, writing, public speaking and painting, she is a voice of hope to families going through simlar trials. She is an ally to people with disabilities (especially cerebral palsy, like her son), a cheerleader to families during and after a NICU stay, a momma mental health advocate and a self-proclaimed spreader of reckless hope.
Signature Topics: Traumatic Birth, NICU & Prematurity Awareness, Maternal Mental Health, Cerebral Palsy Advocacy, Work/Motherhood Balance
