Bereavement Doula

Whether you are preparing for or living with a pregnancy loss, I am honored to hold space. Helping with any necessary logistics through the non-linear grieving process can be done in a variety of ways.

I incorporate the medicine of touch with specialized knowledge in pregnancy loss to support people in a loving and nourishing way.

If you know of someone who is/has experienced a loss and wondering how to best support them, you are welcome to schedule a complimentary call with me.

Packages include:

• Grocery shopping & meal prep

• Massage and cranio-sacral touch

• Navigate communication with loved ones

• Coordinate logistics

• Culturally relevant ceremonies & routines to honor your baby and family unit

Resources for abortion, miscarriage, stillbirth and SIDS with the many nuances in between are available here.

“After experiencing an unplanned pregnancy which ultimately ended in me choosing to have an abortion, I was left with grief and emotions I felt unprepared to cope with. After being connected to Olivia by a close friend, we had an initial phone call; within minutes of speaking with her I felt absolutely at ease and supported. Now that we have completed our work together, I can say that I don't know how I would have maneuvered through my journey of healing without her by my side. In addition to creating a safe space for my grieving, she offered countless resources, practices/tips and an informed perspective that made me feel like I was not alone. This was tantamount for me. She also helped me to develop a language with which to speak to my partner about my experience so that we could build a bridge to healing together. We ended our work with a grief massage which really brought the work full circle coming back into my body post abortion. I would recommend Olivia to any woman going through any kind of birth journey. She is a source of so much strength and advocacy."
