🌿 About Wildflower

Outdoor adventure, one participant at a time.

Calm support, outdoor adventure, and room to explore.

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.

💜 Small & PersonalIndividual and small-group sessions so every participant gets thoughtful, focused support.

🌸 All Abilities WelcomeExperienced working with participants with autism, Down syndrome, and developmental differences.

🌻 Outdoors-FirstFresh air, movement, and nature are at the heart of every session.

🎓 Olivia's Background

Trained, experienced, and genuinely invested.

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.
