Hello, Friend!
Thank you for taking the time to explore my site.​
​
I was born and raised in a big, noisy, loving family in South Jordan, Utah. Some personal interests of mine include gardening, climbing trees, any form of art project, singing, dance parties in the kitchen with my son and cooking up something new and spontaneous using what I've grown in my yard. I'm an earth lover and a people lover!
I have always been empathic, in-tune, and curious about the people in my life.
​ In 2018 I attended massage therapy school to help me develop those gifts and learn to use them to help others. I really enjoyed my time studying Swedish and Thai massage as well as Shiatsu, Craniosacral Therapy, and Reflexology. I'm grateful to have many different massage modalities to draw from to help people in their physical healing!
​
I have also studied Psychosomatics (how our emotions affect our physical bodies) and the energetic systems in the body. These things have always fascinated me! I learned many different techniques to utilize this information to help others recognize and release trapped emotions, reconnect with their spiritual Source and experience profound peace and healing on a physical, mental and spiritual plane.
My personal practice has been a joy to me for the past seven years as I have lived in both Utah and California.
​
Massage has always been an integral part of my family life and a way we have all shown love and care for each other. Back in 2019, I felt called to share my knowledge of massage with couples in their own homes to make these healing experiences more accessible for families. I have thoroughly enjoyed teaching many couples how to care for each other's specific needs in the comfort of their own space in the years that have followed.
​
In 2020, I grew and birthed my sweet little boy and felt absolutely transformed by that experience. I had two major realizations in the process:
​
Firstly, that a mother's overall wellbeing for the short time when a child is in her womb, has an immense effect on the rest of that child's wellbeing for the rest of their life!
And secondly, that pregnant women and their partners need WAY more help, love and support than is provided by our healthcare system during this pivotal time period.
​
It dawned on me that improving a pregnant woman's life for 9 months can improve the world by giving one person a better footing for their whole life journey. This knowledge deeply rooted in my heart that to invest time, energy and love in a pregnant woman is to invest in the future of our world.
​
I became certified in Pre/Postnatal massage to begin making the small difference that I could for my pregnant friends. Soon after, I was invited to attend the home birth of a dear friend and use massage to support her through labor. I LOVED the experience and decided I wanted to be useful on a higher level, so I worked hard in 2023 to become certified as a Birth Doula. I was also given the opportunity to learn how to support Birth Mamas and their partners through Transformational Coaching in the prenatal and postpartum period. This practice has been a complete game changer, as I can not only offer physical support and knowledge as a Doula and Massage Therapist for any desired birth experience, but I can also offer self discovery and empowerment to my clients so they can achieve their birth vision with or without my presence at the birth.
What a gift!
​
I look forward to communicating with you about your individual goals, trials and dreams. Let's co-create a holistic care plan that will empower you to move towards your health goals and experience healing on a "Whole Soul" level!
​​
Sincerely,
Olivia
