A Different Kind of Therapy

Based in the Hakomi Method, my form of somatic coaching weaves talk therapy with a deep dive into the body — and how and where our emotions live there.

As trauma specialist Bessel Van der Kolk famously states in the title of his book, “the body keeps the score.” When we explore our experiences and emotions through the lens of the body instead of approaching them from the mind, we unlock the capacity to meet our inner parts, honor them, and transform our relationship to them.

This is deeply healing work that accesses and gradually reshapes our earliest-formed core beliefs and neural pathways. It allows us to change our lives from the inside out. This can lead to things like inner peace you never thought possible, increased self-love, and a deeper capacity for intimacy with self, others, and your soul path.

TESTIMONIALS

“Olivia has a gift for holding space. When I'm with her (virtually) in Hakomi sessions, I feel deeply connected to my authentic self and know that what's bubbling up for me is coming directly from spirit. Her intuitive, empathetic style pushes me to explore new undercurrents of my psyche, while other times simply helping me to slow down and allow space for what is coming up in my body.”

“I came in not knowing much about the Hakomi method, but now 5 months later I can speak to its power. Olivia has helped me recognize and accept my body's wisdom, heal deeply, and move towards liberation. I would highly recommend her services to anyone who is looking to do the same.”

“Exploring somatic therapy with Olivia was a profound, grounding and healing experience. During a series of sessions we were able to focus on particular issues and blocks that have been coming up for me and truly move through and release them. These sessions also allowed me to lean further into presence and joy. Olivia is a gifted healer who holds a safe space with insight, grace, confidence, and flexibility.”
