If you’ve ever felt nervous and unprepared to go through pregnancy, and care for your new baby and yourself postpartum, you’re not alone.Â
Every week I work with people, just like you, who are dealing with the exact same concerns:
- Wondering what is appropriate to do/eat/etc. during pregnancy and not knowing where to find evidence-based real life guidance
- Stress around what actions to take (and when!) during pregnancy to prepare for labor/delivery, logistics of baby (feedings, items needed), and caring for baby and yourself postpartum
- Feeling lost around all things baby- eating, sleeping, norms, routines, and when to relax and when to be concerned
- Lack of knowledge around how to prepare for the huge adjustment of adding a baby to your family, and what steps to take ahead of time and postpartum to care for parents' mental health
- Any and all of the questions- What pacifier is best if I'm breastfeeding? Â How do I travel with my baby? Â Do I need to supplement vitamin D? Â How do I get her to sleep out of my arms?
If you can relate to any of the above, I can help you through these steps, questions, and anxieties, so that you can take this next step calmly and confidently.
As long as you have the desire to prepare for this transition, I can provide you support in motherhood.
But before I get into that, allow me to introduce myself…

Hi, I’m Olivia
I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner, former newborn night nurse, and mom of three, who specializes in helping women make the transition to motherhood.
As a fellow mom who’s walked the path of pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and early parenting three times, I understand how overwhelming and exhilarating this journey can be. Coupled with my education and professional experience, as a perinatal (pregnancy and postpartum)-mental health certified provider and a former newborn night nurse, I am well suited to provide the support you need to move through and ENJOY this time.
Â
My Journey Into Providing Support for Motherhood Started Back In 2014...Â
when I was working toward my Masters in Nursing.  I began working as a newborn night nurse, taking care of newborns in their homes overnight while their parents slept and/or between feedings if they were breastfeeding, and providing education and support for the new parents.  I realized that caring for these newborn babies, and supporting and educating their parents about their care brought me so much joy.  Then, I started working as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, and focused solely on this clinical work and teaching for many years. Â
And One Day, Something Amazing Happened…
A couple years into having my own practice, I realized that the patients I most enjoyed seeing were those who became pregnant and/or postpartum while I was treating them.  While working with this population, I realized that much of what they were struggling with was answers and support around pregnancy-related topics, anxiety about birth and the unexpected aspects of postpartum, and baby care.  Unfortunately, educating them about some of these topics does not fit neatly into my role as their psychiatric provider.
At the same time, my sisters, friends, and myself were having babies, and I found myself feeling so happy and passionate when I was able to help someone make a decision during pregnancy, talk through something they were struggling with, or simply suggest a type of bottle or sleep sack. Â At one point, a loved one told me that she "would not have been able to do postpartum" without me, and I knew that providing this type of support is how I wanted to use my passion in the next stage of my career.
Â
This Is Why I’m Writing To You Today
I am now able to use my professional knowledge and experience, coupled with my personal experience of helping many new parents, and my own experience as a parent of three to provide widespread education and support to new parents all over the globe.  Aside from being with my family, there is nothing that makes me happier than talking with an expecting parent about pregnancy or labor and delivery, talking through baby gear, helping parents-to-be complete postpartum planning, or educating around all things baby.
I have spent the time and energy gaining professional education and experience, researching guidelines and professional societies high and low, Googling anything you will ever think to Google, and learning through personal experience, so that you do not need to invest this same time and energy and can focus on your journey to becoming a parent. Â I am thrilled to be your support in motherhood.
Are you ready to grow your knowledge and confidence?
Then let’s do this.Â
No more worrying about what you do not know, incessantly Googling questions, or wondering if you are "ready" to enter motherhood.
My Weekly Coaching is a 12 week program to help you prepare for the end of pregnancy and caring for yourself and baby postpartum.
We will meet weekly through the end of your pregnancy and first 8 weeks of your baby being with you.
By the end of the 12 weeks, you’ll be:
- Ready to enjoy your last few weeks of pregnancy.
- Feeling confident about your postpartum plan.
- Able to communicate your concerns, needs, and goals around your postpartum experience.
- Feeling able and supported to set boundaries around yourself and baby.
- Know where to access help for general questions about baby.
In other words - you’ll be feeling like you are well supported and prepared for this transition to motherhood.
HERE’S A GLIMPSE INTO WHAT WORKING WITH ME ONE ON ONE WILL LOOK LIKEÂ
PREGNANCY: 35 WEEKS
Week 1 is all about getting to know you and your preferences.
The aim is to start building a relationship, and for me to learn about you and your family, your preferences, and your concerns and knowledge gaps.
By the end of this week, you will:
- communicate to me what is important to you over the remainder of your pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum
- have an idea of what we will work on together to prepare for baby's arrival
- know what you need to have done and be thinking about over the next couple weeks
PREGNANCY: 38 WEEKS
Week 4Â is all about creating a postpartum plan.
The aim is to get you thinking about how you would like things to go in the early postpartum days, and start taking steps to achieve this.
By the end of this week, you will:
- know what you think will be most important to you in those first few weeks
- learn how to communicate these preferences and boundaries to those around you
- have a draft of a written postpartum plan
POSTPARTUM: WITHINÂ 1 WEEK
Week 6 is all about YOU- checking in on you and your wellbeing in those first few days (because waiting 6 weeks for a postpartum appointment is way. too. long.)
The aim is for you to have a safe space to share your worries, successes, and wtf's, and make a plan for anything that we can target together.
By the end of this week, you will:
- feel heard and supported
- have shared your concerns and received support and education around anything you or baby (i.e. is this normal, afterbirth pains, sleep, feeding tips, swaddling, etc.).
- have an idea of whether your postpartum plan needs adjusting, and how you and your support system can take steps to achieve your plan
Here’s Everything You Get With My Weekly 1:1 Coaching
- 12 weeks of 45 minute 1:1 video meetings with me with preplanned curriculum and topics, but tailored to your life and needs
- I usually recommend four weeks during end of pregnancy (35-38 weeks) and the first eight weeks postpartum
- Written materials for each week's topic
- Homework to further the support and education we work through each week
- Access to all guides and courses I release in 2025, without paying for these separately
- Entry to a private group with other pregnant and new parents who are/were in this program, for additional support and community
- In VIP Access program- unlimited access to me via Slack for questions that come up between weekly sessions (because baby questions usually do not arise at convenient times)
- Bonus: My 'Build Your Registry'Â list
Please note that I provide support through education and coaching in this program. This is not a clinical relationship and I do not provide medical advice.
