I'm Olivia Davies RN, BSc (Nursing). Registered Nurse, Women's Health & Maternal Wellbeing Practitioner, and mother of two.
I trained as a nurse over a decade ago and have spent my career working alongside women in the seasons of life that ask the most of them.
My practice sits at the intersection of clinical nursing, women's health, perinatal mental health, and somatic, trauma-aware care. It is shaped by years of bedside experience, my own lived experience, and ongoing study in the fields that matter most to the women I see.
I support women through stress, depletion, hormonal shifts, birth, postpartum, motherhood, body symptoms, emotional load, and transitions that ask more of the body than words alone can hold.
My work draws on current research in matrescence, perinatal nervous system regulation, attachment and infant mental health, NDC-informed responsive parenting, and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale and its limitations. I am also trained in biodynamic craniosacral therapy and continue to deepen my practice through clinical mentorship and study with leading practitioners in women's, maternal and somatic health.
The work I offer is the work I wanted, and couldn't find.
Training & ongoing study
Over a decade of clinical nursing, grounded in a science degree and built on years of continued study across women's, perinatal and somatic health.
