I’m Olivia,
I am obsessed with the beauty and complexity of the human condition.
I ignite levels of self-connection and expression in people that radically opens up their experience of all of life.
My greatest gift and passion is to meet the edge of expansion that lives just beneath the surface in someone. My mastery lies in calling forward this inner yearning for something more whether that’s through sexuality, self expression, creativity or moving through a time of great transition and change and and seeking guidance with a seasoned radical path walker.
I firmly believe the inner journey is the golden ticket.
The outer form is what gets to crumble, shift, move around and take on new form in ways we might never have imagined.
I live for the moments that reflect our humanity back to ourselves: shy kisses, stolen moments, going the extra-mile because it matters.
I have spent my life picking up rocks and looking for the God of my understanding. I accepted long ago I am a seeker. But I no longer look on the outside, I found the key that sent me on a 7 year spiritual odyssey from my career in No10 Downing Street and the UK Cabinet Office to New Zealand and Southern Italy.
I now live my live, as I wanted… as truly alive through pleasure, love-making, creativity, writing, a sense of purpose and walking my rescue dog on wild headlands in the South West of England.
My Career and Credentials
In my early twenties I was pulled into the belly of the political beast. I worked for and alongside some of the most influential spin doctors and public servants in the political arena. I thrived in the centre, working in the No10 Press Office and Cabinet Office Foreign Policy. I had begun my formal apprenticeship into the complexity human condition through politics, power and leadership.
I felt immense disillusion after Brexit and saw British politics sliding rapidly towards the increasing polarisation, instability and increasing lack of trust in the general public.
I moved to New Zealand and worked for 4 years as an Advisor and Strategist in the Care and Protection system focussing on Indigenous rights and the strategic direction of one of the most fraught areas of New Zealand society.
At the same time, my spiritual awakening was taking off with incredible velocity. My body went through an enormous energetic and sexual activation, alongside seismic shifts in my perception of life and a deep fury erupted, forcing me to feel years of unprocessed emotion and explore who I really was and where I felt incredibly unfulfilled by public service.
I was pulled towards ‘freedom’, ‘the mystery’, ‘God’ like a rollercoaster with no stop button.
I spent thousands of hours immersed in transformational group experiences. I studied somatics, shamanism, sexuality, trauma, esoteric spirituality, transformational facilitation and trained as a 300 hr yoga teacher. I became a Tantra practitioner and began my apprenticeship into eroticism and a totally different kind of power.
I have worked with over 600 hundred clients on somatic awareness, self-inquiry and intimacy. I co-facilitate Soft Core, a body of work rooted in psychotherapy, somatics and soul work and lead events focussed on self connection, intimacy and self-leadership.
I weave my experiences from the frameworks of conventional power and the mysteries of our humanity to meet you with depth, integrity and a curiosity about our roles to play in this time of collective change.
I live in Cornwall, host and travel to clients.
I am forever a student of memoir, literature and life writing and am making slow progress on my first memoir.
