Congratulations! It is so exciting and overwhelming all at the same time to be adding a new precious babe to your family.  It’s so great to see that you are looking for support and guidance during this transformative time. Now, let’s see if I am going to be the right fit for you and your family…

Well let me introduce myself,

I’m Olivia

Mother of My Own Precious Three

I am a Pediatric Occupational Therapist by profession, turned birth worker for the last two years. Every single birth that I have had the honored of witnessing as a doula, photographer, or both, has left a lasting impact on my heart.

Redemption from birth is real

My first birth at 41 weeks 5 days was a precipitous, intense, water birth in a birth center, premeditated by days of fear and anxiety around reaching 42 weeks and risking out of the birth center. I have four photos from his birth and it breaks my heart that I do not have more with my baby’s first Daddy. 

After losing my husband at 9 weeks pregnant with our second son, I planned a well-supported birth at the same birth center with the same providers I was emotionally connected to; only to risk out due to pre-eclampsia at 41 weeks.  There is nothing that will make you more vulnerable than giving birth without your partner, in a hospital, with strangers. However I am eternally grateful to my Doula, Gray, and my Birth Photographer, Monet for being there to support yet another precipitous birth.

When my new husband and I got pregnant with our third baby I knew I needed to be home, in my own space, with my boys, my husband, and my puppies surrounding me.  My oldest son did not leave my side the entire time, and my husband while so afraid of losing me or our baby cried tears of relief when she was in my arms.  Her birth was one of redemption, safety, clarity, and so much deep love.  Having her birth documented is invaluable to me, knowing how fleeting life can be. 

Breastfeeding for me was a profound choice…

When I told my mother I was planning to nurse my first born, she said something along the lines of "Eww gross, I didn't nurse any of you." Fast forward six plus years and my mother says "That's so cute" looking over my shoulder as I nurse my newborn daughter.

I believe my story and experience in this work have prepared me to make a difference in supporting families to breastfeed and help shift perspectives to be more inclusive of all feeding journeys.

In Retrospect

The little girl who carried multiple baby dolls with her everywhere she went, and aspired to be a stay-at-home mom her freshman year of high school, has become a homeschooling, entrepreneur, birth worker, and loving mother to 3 incredible little babes. 

Do we have something in common?

I’d love to learn more about you. And the journey that brought you here…

I once traveled alone to Thailand with my 2 year old and 3 month old sons and backpacked all over the country with a friend, eating lots of "street food" along the highways! Yes, I am a little crazy. I feel inspired by the offbeat, paths less traveled.

I know what it looks like to choose LIFE after extreme loss and what it's like to sprint through an airport with an almost 2-year-old, car seat, and luggage while being 6 months pregnant to catch the next flight.

A nursing mother in Peru inspired me profoundly. I didn’t know it then but the Uru people in Peru taught me about living off the Earth and about motherhood before I was even ready to remotely comprehend it.

I found a second love story and adventure partner. I even made him wade across a river, climb down a cliff side with our 15-month-old strapped to him to see the coolest waterfall, and swim in an ocean-side hot spring in Bali.
