Biography: Hi, I’m Olivia! I’m fluent in Portuguese and deeply passionate about supporting and empowering women during one of the most meaningful moments of their lives.
With a background in childcare, I’ve always loved working with children and families. My path shifted after becoming pregnant with my twins. Experiencing a high-risk pregnancy during the height of COVID opened my eyes to how much support is often missing for women during pregnancy and birth. That experience inspired me to become an advocate—helping women find their voice, feel confident in their choices, and stand firm in the care they deserve throughout their birthing journey.
As someone who is half Brazilian and half Portuguese, family is at the heart of everything I do. It brings me so much joy to support women as they grow their families in ways that feel right and meaningful to them.
I’m truly honored to help guide you through one of the most beautiful and transformative experiences life has to offer.
