Hello, I’m Olivia Zah, a birth doula trained with DONA and Matrona, based in Venice, California. I believe birth is a miracle, and I know it is my path in this lifetime to help support mothers and families in their birth journey. I bring a compassionate, grounded presence to this moment of deep transformation. I trust in your capacity to birth and in your intuition. With a supportive team around you, you can feel informed, encouraged, and cared for as you navigate this experience. During pregnancy, I offer emotional support and a safe space, along with knowledge about birth and connections to a wider network of doulas and resources. I would be honored to support you and your family during this special time of your life. Besides being a birth doula, I am a leader holding space in women’s circles, embodied dance ceremonies, and qi gong. In addition to pre-natal care visits, I offer henna mother blessings and emotional support calls. In addition to postpartum care visits, I offer one-to-one full-body and abdominal massage. In my free time, I love attending kirtan, making music, skateboarding, dancing, swimming in the ocean, creating with oil pastels, clowning, and taking beach walks with my dog, Trust.

My experience with Zah was expansive and grounding. During our zoom gatherings I learned to hold space for myself, to share deeply, to allow myself to be seen in my authentic expression, and to show up with whatever elements are currently moving through my ecosystem. I cherish these lessons and carry them within my heart. Thank you, Zah.

I loved my womb massage!! It was such a beautiful, powerful, and relaxing experience and I felt so safe the entire time. A lot of emotions came up for me, and I left feeling so much lighter. Definitely something I would do again!

Powerful experience with Liv!!! felt energized and clear after. She has done extensive training and carries deep wisdom about the womb. Highly recommend!

Zah held a wonderful container called Embodied Cycles, where I got to deepen more into my feminine and feel into each cycles through dance, meditation, devotion, and prayer. It was a beautiful experience and would recommend to anyone!
