My name is:
Olivia, but my friends call me Liv or Olive.
My Instagram handle is:
I was raised:
On the Sapphire Coast of NSW, and now, we call the stunning southern tip of the Gold Coast our home.
I’m a mother of:
Two sea-flower daughters; Anouk Wilder and Yumi Soleil
I feel most like myself when:
I’m immersed in a body of water, allowing the soothing embrace of nature to guide and slow me down. Additionally, tuning into the natural rhythms intertwined with my daughters brings a sense of authenticity and presence.
A song that always makes me happy is:
A couple of songs that never fail to bring joy to my heart are 'Cosmic Dancer' and 'Into My Arms' by Nick Cave. These melodies accompanied me throughout both of my pregnancies, becoming a beautiful soundtrack as I swayed and connected with my birth space.
The best book I’ve ever read is:
Reading is my go-to form of self-care, and each book holds a special place in my heart. These are some of my most loved pages:
- Grounded Traditions by Sally Fallon
- A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara
- The Hidden Life of Trees by Peter Wohlleben
- The Husband’s Secret by Liane Moriarty (because it reignited my love of reading)
Right now, I am:
Fully immersed in the roles of motherhood while pursuing my studies in BHSc Naturopathy. I'm also on a journey to try and embrace rest and self-care as often as I can.
Since becoming a mother:
My life has become a tapestry woven with countless threads of connection. It's a shared journey filled with moments of laughter, grief, and anger, all underlined by a love so profound, it surpasses what I ever thought possible.
My most loved Mammae Ritual is:
The Aromatherapy, Ode Form Botanical Mist. This fragrance, both grounding and gentle, holds a special place in my heart. I envision it becoming a scent my daughters fondly recall as they journey through life, creating lasting memories.
