Hi I’m Olivia and I don’t want you to have fear surrounding your birth.

You can have a birth where you feel confident in yourself and your ability to birth, feel satisfied with your birth experience and feel empowered throughout pregnancy to postpartum .

I’m in constant awe of women’s ability to grow and birth life, and i’m always surprised at how many powerful women (my clients) turn to me after the birth of their child and say I couldn’t have done it without you. I always reply with of course you could have. But this comment that I hear so frequently always reaffirms why my work is so important.

I feel so privileged that so many families have welcomed me into the amazing, intimate and momentous event of bringing their child to the world.
