ME & MY philosophy on birth  

Best Doula in Louisville

Hi, I’m Olivia!
As your doula, I am here to guide and encourage you to do what you know is best for yourself and your baby.

What I know to be true about birth is that it can be both peaceful and physiological. In promoting ancient methods of birthing and holding space for women’s natural instincts, I find women have joy filled births.

My aim is to assist you during pregnancy, labor and birth, as well as support you as you embark on your postpartum journey. From the start of working together, we will meet to discuss your preferences, and all the options you have. I will educate you on evidence based practices to assist you during pregnancy and birth. We will practice different laboring techniques and create an individualized plan to ensure you know all your options and you and your birth partner are prepared for baby’s arrival.

You deserve to have encouragement, support and assistance during your journey through birth, and that is what I am honored to do for you.

Testimonials

  • "I highly recommend Olivia for being your doula! My experience with Olivia was the absolute best. She was always there when I had questions or concerns. Her knowledge about everything was top tier. The day before my planned c-section, her and I were talking about our plans and she reassured me that she would definitely be there for the whole thing. I told her oh that's good because you have such calm vibes and I'm gonna need all of that tomorrow.

 She just has a very easy going personality and I loved that so much! 

She is definitely someone i would recommend you to have on your birthing team. She'll make sure you have everything you need and more."

OLIVIA TRULY LISTENS TO YOUR NEEDS AND GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND TO MEET THEM, OFTEN EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS WITH HER THOUGHTFUL AND COMPASSIONATE APPROACH.

WHEN I DECIDED I WANTED TO HAVE A NATURAL BIRTH I WAS NERVOUS, ESPECIALLY AFTER MY FIRST BIRTH EXPERIENCE.

OLIVIA REALLY HELPED EASE MY WORRIES. SHE WAS A PARTNER IN MY BIRTH AND HELPED ME ADVOCATE FOR MYSELF AND THE BIRTH I WANTED. 
SHE WAS VERY RESPONSive, INFORMATIVE, AND HELPFUL DURING MY PREGNANCY

AND WAS SO SUPPORTIVE AND KNOWLEDGEABLE DURING MY BIRTH, EVEN THE NURSE TOLD ME THEY WERE THANKFUL SHE WAS THERE AND COULD TELL SHE WAS GOOD! 

I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN I FIRST THOUGHT ABOUT GETTING A DOULA BUT I CAN SAY NOW PART OF HAVING SUCH A FANTASTIC BIRTH EXPERIENCE INCLUDED HER
