Olivia's Soul Library is, more often than not, the highlight of my week. It's an unfailingly kind space to sit, listen, reflect and speak.
Reading the books slowly, and as a group, absolutely transforms the way we ingest the information; so much of what I've learned is from the wisdom and experience of other women, especially when they see things differently from me.
You know it's a really special place when everyone feels able to share and in one breath you can go from tearful over something poignant, to crying with laughter at the absurdity of it all.
It's a "safe space", and I honestly don't think I knew what that meant until now.

The Breathwork Bubble was an eye opening experience for me! I learned so much but my biggest take away was my relationship with my emotions and working on creating a healthier one. I’ve found a healthier sense of compassion with myself than I had been offering lately.

Olivia is pure love ❤️ and I'm so so grateful for the whole experience.

The Breathwork Bubble was a beautiful and supportive group, each of us open to experiencing something new together. Each week's theme was beautifully delivered by Olivia - she has so much wisdom delivered with so much love and humility, allowing me to get into a space for the active breath that produced some amazing results.

I had a great moment during one session where I realized that so much of the anger or irritability I feel is really rooted in fear of what others think about me and often tied to body image. The thought “my body is a vessel for all the beautiful things I love about myself (empathy, sense of humor, etc.)” was a profound aha moment.

I also learned that I am not my feelings. I have emotions but I am not them.

Olivia's Breathwork Bubble has been a magical mystery tour into my own landscape, giving rise to unexpectedly beautiful and profound insights & experiences all undoubtedly helping to propel me out of a kind of "stuckness" I'd fallen into for a long time.

I have learned or perhaps deepened the realisation/knowing that the greater part of me is always here; an unchanging and imperturbable presence in which I am also dancing my life. I have learned that it is a sacred gift to be able to honestly and safely share with others who are also so wonderfully dancing their lives. I have learned that I have courage to be imperfect in my dance! ✨️ ?

The Breathwork seemed to invoke an alchemical cocktail of physiological, emotional and spiritual elements that shift and lead to profound insights, peace, gratitude, unconditional love and connection. From experiences of complete stillness, to letting go of things of which my conscious mind was totally unaware, there have been so many poignant moments.

My words don't really do justice to the experiences because I think what takes place is beyond the mind.

I sense that I am so much more inwardly connected. I have a deep inclination to let the blocks within me dissolve and to stay more embodied in my day to day life. I am more aware of resistance and how to welcome it so that I create less feeling of inner and outer separation. I more readily take a step back with others when I feel triggered, pause and have more of a willingness (even though it might not be instantaneous) to respond from a deeper space which wants to create connection and fulfillment for all concerned, whilst feeling into the boundaries that may also be needed for this.

I experience Olivia as a beautiful and nurturing guide. She embodies dedication, honesty, passion, insight, wisdom, compassion and love, creating a space into which these qualities are imbued. I felt safe with her; I felt I belonged and I found freedom to experience and express whatever I needed to within the bubble. I have so much love and gratitude for her guidance and support and for the magical being that she is.

Being a part of the breathwork bubble has most assuredly been a deepening of the evolving journey into what I really am and what it means to live in a more authentic, embodied human expression of that truth. I feel so blessed to have found my way to Olivia and her sacred work and to the amazing people in the bubble who were absolutely crucial in the alchemy of what has taken place. ? ? ?

I came to Olivia's Breathwork Bubble feeling 'stuck' & disconnected and by the end of the 6 weeks I am left feeling more open, free and grounded within myself. It has been a genuine refuge of uplifting empowerment!

For someone who lives a lot in the 'head space', having the opportunity to drop into my 'heart space' has been transformational. I now know that I can show up for myself, drop into my inner stillness and allow my body to show me where I need to be.

I genuinely feel like the universe placed Olivia in my life at a time where I was ready to receive the message. She is made of stardust! She is not “just” a facilitator - you can tell from the moment you meet her that she has lived and embodied what she teaches and believes so passionately in the power of Breathwork. Every element of the bubble was beautifully crafted, with Olivia’s passion running as a solid thread throughout.

Connecting with myself and other women in open hearted tenderness was a wonderful experience and one that I will carry with me. Never more so than now do I believe in the healing power of groups.

I have found Breathwork with Olivia to be groundbreakingly brilliant! It quiets my mind in a way that no other form of therapy ever has, and truly allows me to be in the moment - something I have always struggled with.

I've developed a self belief and quiet confidence that definitely didn't exist before, and realised I'm a lot stronger than I've ever given myself credit for. I've learned the importance of listening to my inner voice and intuition, and honouring myself and my own needs. The biggest "aha" was realising that it's all within me! The power to be kind to myself, to choose how to react to any given situation, the power to self soothe and heal. It's all right here!

I've been trying to give up alcohol for 4 years but kept failing at my attempts at total sobriety. Now, for the first time in my sobriety journey, I totally trust myself not to question that decision, and feel confident with total belief in myself and my own resolve. Just knowing that I can trust myself, that I am capable and strong and can keep promises I make to myself, that's huge!

Not only am I more able to offer myself compassionate understanding, but I am so much calmer and more patient with my teenage daughter. The improvement has been amazing. We definitely talk more, and she seems happier to open up to me and spend more time in my company. This is absolutely priceless!

Olivia is a wonderful practitioner. She has created a warm, safe space in her studio which feels like coming home. I'm so grateful for her care, generous open heartedness, ability to listen without judgement and the quiet wisdom of her responses which show how thoroughly she listens and understands the person in front of her. What a gift ❤️

I have felt so comfortable with Olivia and able to trust her implicitly. The space she holds made it ok to be vulnerable without fear, and open up to an experience which has given me so many breakthroughs and rewards. I am so glad our paths have crossed and can't really imagine life without Breathwork now!

After 6 weeks I no longer feel like I'm crumbling on the inside. From the moment of setting foot on the rainbow stairs to being in a space that felt calm, nurturing and supportive I knew this would be a life-affirming experience.

After a lifetime in teaching I had lost myself, having built up protective layers to stop myself feeling. Breathwork has taught me to feel more and think less, creating a deeper sense of calm and contentment. I've also felt able to let go of the negative feelings I'd been holding towards myself.

Olivia is an amazingly skilled facilitator. I feel so lucky to have found her and the quiet, calm strength she exudes made me feel so well supported. It was such an amazing experience.

The whole journey with Olivia has been mind blowing. Prior to working with her I felt overwhelmed, anxious and constantly battling each day. After 8 sessions the change is unbelievable.

I've learned that everything I experience has a place. I'm able to accept, engage and lean into some of the emotions I would previously have resisted or tried to ignore. I've learned how to be stronger, more confident and resilient. I've also gained an invaluable understanding of staying present. I've learned to be more patient, be kind to myself and introduce self care techniques that are now a priority.

Olivia is warm, engaging and so easy to connect with. A joyful spirit that shines brightly. Olivia's knowledge and understanding of her subject is immense, and she has a beautiful way of making you feel at ease and comfortable.

The change is remarkable and hard to consider how I felt back then compared to now.
