Lannea A. Adamson, BSW, MSW, MPH

Lannea has worked in the social service field for over fifteen years. She holds a Bachelor's Degree from Slippery Rock University and two Master's Degrees in Social Work and Public Health from the University of Pittsburgh. During her tenure as an adjunct professor at Pitt, she had the opportunity to teach her favorite subject, Human Behavior in the Social Environment to graduate students in the School of Social Work. She has always had a passion for helping women and girls and as her passion for maternal and child health grew throughout her career, she became a certified birth doula and published author.

​

After years of walking in doubt, fear and holding herself back from accomplishing her dreams, Lannea stopped the cycle of madness and birthed Lannea Speaks LLC. As she is experiencing the labor pains of birthing a business herself, her mission is now to coach and encourage women to go from being emotionally barren to birthing their desires, dreams and visions through her signature program, "Birth the Vision". 

​

She has retired from helping women birth physical babies and now walks along side women through her coaching program to help them birth spiritually. As a speaker, her personal experiences with sexual assault, mental illness and pregnancy loss give her a unique perspective that shines through when she speaks.  With her empathetic, informed and slightly comical speeches she is ready to speak for those who won't always speak for themselves, remove the mask and go deeper into the real issues of a matter.
