I offer private, one-to-one support for chronic pain, emotional difficulty, life change and deeper meditation practice.
Living with constant pain, illness or emotional suffering can feel overwhelming
…impacting every aspect of your life.
I know what it is to have your life completely dismantled.
I know what it is to live with chronic pain, loss and the kind of suffering that changes everything.
I also know that healing doesn’t mean changing what has happened. It means transforming your relationship with the pain.
That journey changed my life.
And today it is the work I offer others through compassionate guidance, somatic healing and meditation

“This has really helped me create a new and more patient relationship with myself. I’ve taken a step forward in managing my emotional pain, which is so encouraging after a long time without any forward momentum.
Olivia has a beautiful, gentle, wise and honest way of guiding you through it all. The sessions made me feel grounded, calm and safe, and helped me create real space around my struggles. I’m so grateful to Olivia.”
– Agnes, Canada
“After a year of trying to ‘fix’ my chronic pain by every means possible, I discovered Olivia. I was desperately searching for relief and immediately resonated with her guidance.
My pain hasn’t changed, but how I respond to it has. With Olivia’s guidance, I am transforming my relationship with pain in ways that have enriched my life.”
– Jack, USA
“Olivia is a genuine and sharing guide. There’s an honesty and simplicity to her approach. Reality really isn’t what we think it is. Meditation can help us experience the nature of ourselves and the universe. Olivia helped me meditate more effectively.”

FAQs
What is somatic healing and how does it work?
Somatic means of the body. Somatic healing works on the understanding that experiences – particularly trauma, pain and stress – are held not just in the mind but in the body as patterns of physical tension, contraction and stored energy. Rather than only talking about what has happened, we work with what the body is actually holding – gently releasing that stored energy so that real healing and transformation can take place. It is an approach that works deeply and often reaches what talk therapy alone cannot.
I’m not a meditator. Does that matter?
Not at all. Meditation, and its power for self-exploration, forms the strong foundation of my work – but you don’t need to be an experienced meditator in any way. You only need to be ready to explore.
You do not need to have it figured out. You do not need to have tried meditation before, be experienced or have any particular background. You only need to feel that something needs to change and have a genuine willingness to explore. Wherever you are is exactly the right place to begin.
Is your approach faith/ religion free?
My own personal background is Tibetan Buddhism – a tradition I consider one of the most profound frameworks for understanding the mind. But I always facilitate in a completely secular, faith-free way and deeply respect and admire all beliefs.
What happens in a discovery call?
This is a free 20 minute session for those who are ready to make a change and explore deep transformative work together. It’s a time to connect, ask questions and understand what working together may look like, and whether this work would support your current needs. Discovery calls are done via Zoom where you can relax in the comfort of your home.
How much does it cost?
Investment varies depending on whether you choose individual sessions or one of my programmes. Full details are available on the relevant pages of this website. If you are unsure which option is right for you the discovery call is the perfect place to explore that together – with no obligation to commit.
