๐ฟ About Wildflower
I built Wildflower around one simple idea: getting participants outside and into the world by exploring city neighborhoods, discovering nature, trying new foods, making art, riding bikes, and so much more. Every session is personalized, unhurried, and designed around what each participant needs to feel safe, engaged, and genuinely happy.
I keep sessions small and personalized so every participant gets real attention and a real experience. There's no rush, no one-size-fits-all approach, only genuine connection, meaningful adventures, and me along for the ride.
๐ Olivia's Background
I grew up in a family that made outdoor adventure part of everyday life. Biking, swimming, camping, exploring new places, and spending time in nature shaped some of my happiest memories, helped me build confidence, and gave me meaningful ways to connect with others. I know how lucky I was to have those opportunities.
Over time, I noticed that while the Bay Area has many outdoor programs for participants, far fewer are designed for individuals who benefit from more individualized support. Wildflower Outdoor Recreation was created to help fill that gap. I offer patient, personalized biking, outdoor recreation, and community-based adventures for children, teens, and adults with developmental disabilities and different support needs.
My degree provided a foundation in human development, behavior, and strengths-based, individualized support.
Over five years as a professional bike coach working with participants ages 3+, including leading and managing youth cycling programs and adapting instruction for every age, ability, and learning style.
I am certified as an Autism Exercise Specialist by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), with specialized training in adapting exercise and physical activity for autistic participants. This includes attention to communication, sensory needs, motivation, safety, and individualized support.
I'm fully certified in CPR, First Aid, and AED use, helping ensure every participant is in safe, prepared hands on every adventure.
