Originally from Nebraska, Olivia went to Michigan for grad school but moved to Kansas City in 2021 with her husband & daughter to be closer to family.    

She provides postpartum doula services and lactation counseling. As a part of her services, she loves to offer babywearing education and meal prep. She became interested in postpartum support when she was working as a nanny while going to school for psychology. Many of the moms she worked for expressed to her that their postpartum time left them feeling unsupported and overwhelmed. 

She has a Master’s degree in Developmental Psychology with a focus on maternal and infant mental health, and found that this was the job that would allow her to combine her skills and passions. Before becoming a doula she worked as an infant and toddler nanny for more than 10 years.

Olivia’s passion for this work and her genuine care for the families she works with is evident to everyone who knows her. She is knowledgeable about mental health & can help families implement techniques to promote mental wellness for the whole family. She is flexible and respectful of her clients' choices, and helps them reach their goals and build routines that work for them.

As she is new to KC, when she is not serving families, she is exploring the city with her family and loves to read mystery novels.
