Olivia Davenport

Author and blogger, Olivia Davenport writes to spread the news that you can live a beautiful life while living with Lupus. She suffered with mysterious illnesses and life-threatening episodes for over 20 years before finally getting a diagnosis of Lupus in 2012. It was then that she began her journey of research and self-discovery, to determine the habits and rituals to support her goal of not losing herself to the incurable autoimmune disease.

Her first two books, "Live a Beautiful Life with Lupus: Habits and Rituals for Thriving with an Autoimmune Disease--Body, Mind, and Spirit," and its follow-up companion book, "Lupus Diary: Tracking Your Life with Lupus--Body, Mind, and Spirit," represent her hope of helping others manage the challenges of living with Lupus. She also sees her books as her personal contribution to ongoing Lupus awareness efforts.

In addition to living with Lupus, Olivia was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2018. Her latest book, "My Doctor Appointment Log Book and Journal: The Patient’s Tool to Prepare for and Record What Happens at Every Doctor Visit," is the result of her own research and self-discovery about how best to manage her many doctor visits and overall medical care while receiving treatment for both diseases. She is eager to share this book and what she has learned, knowing that many patients could benefit from it.

A passionate writer, Olivia also maintains two blogs, www.liveabeautifullifewithlupus.com and www.lupusdiary.com, where she finds joy in sharing her life, her inspirational insights, and what she continues to learn.

Olivia lives in Reno, Nevada with her husband and their odd-eyed cat, Kitty-Witty.
