About
​
Let me start by saying life in the modern world is for the most part fantastic.
Its is extraordinary and a privilege​​
We have warmth in winter, food from around the world, soft beds to sleep in, global music at our fingertips, and access to knowledge that previous generations could never have imagined.
​These things matter.
They bring comfort, possibility, and richness to our lives, and I am genuinely grateful for them.​
​
But here is the flip side...
The pace, the constant stimulation, the artificial rhythms, the lack of pause, and the pressure to keep up come at a cost.
​
Many of us live disconnected from our bodies, our nervous systems, and our natural limits, while quietly believing that the struggle must mean we are doing something wrong.
The physical and emotional overwhelm so many people experience is not a personal failure but rather a by product of living inside a system that rarely slows, rarely softens, and rarely makes space for the way human bodies and nervous systems actually function with balance.
The world 'out there' can feel relentless, sometimes ridiculous, and often deeply overwhelming.
​
The Yoki Way exists as a response to that.
However, It does not believe that he answer is to reject modern living or pretend we should opt out of it.
​
The services offered here a pit stop, a place you can come to pause, refuel, and rebalance before returning to the rhythms and responsibilities of your life.
​
The services offered are not about fixing, or becoming someone different.
Neither are they about chasing the illusion of perfect states of 'zen'
​
What I offer is about creating brief but meaningful pauses where your nervous system can settle enough to stop bracing, where the body can soften without being pushed, and where self healing happens naturally because the conditions finally allow it.
​
In this space, you are not asked to perform wellness trends or transcend your reality.
You are allowed to rest, to arrive, and to experience care that is practical, grounded, and aimed at real life.​
​
Much of the exhaustion we carry is not just physical.
It is emotional and nervous system based, shaped by constant demand and compounded by guilt.
Guilt for resting, guilt for needing help, guilt for not coping as well as it seems everyone else is, and guilt for still feeling tired even after trying all the right things.
​
We live in a culture that asks human nervous systems to function at an inhuman pace, then quietly shame individuals or ourselves when we struggle inside it.
​
So at the heart of my work is a validating truth.
"Of course this feels hard"
"Of course you are tired"
and
"Of course your body is responding this way"
​​
We begins with this validation, because without that, no amount of practice, rest, or intention will land safely.​
​
When our nervous systems are chronic low level survival mode, access to deeper parts of ourselves becomes limited.
Intuition dulls, creativity fades, presence feels out of reach, and life becomes something to get through rather than something to inhabit.
​
As the body settles and the baseline level of threat reduces, something begins to shift.
Capacity grows, choice returns, and space opens.
Over time, people often find they can access more of who they truly are, not by forcing change, but by no longer living in constant defense.
​This is the exciting longer arc of the work.
Not just surviving the madness of modern life, not only offering a 'pit stop' but being able to thrive despite the chaos of modern life! and without being annihilated by it!
​
It is practical rather than performative, inclusive rather than prescriptive,
and designed to fit into real lives.​

Olivia’s journey into this work began through lived experience. Following the birth of her daughters, she spent several years navigating chronic fatigue, burnout, and debilitating health challenges, without a clear diagnosis or meaningful support.
Daily life became increasingly difficult, prompting a deep and sometimes uncomfortable exploration of what healing truly means when there are no quick fixes.
As a neurodivergent person and a parent to an autistic child, Olivia came to understand how sensitive nervous systems, cumulative stress, and modern living pressures intersect.
Over time, she recognised that much of what she had been experiencing was not personal failure, but nervous system overwhelm within an unsustainable context.
The tools that supported her own recovery gradually became the foundation of her work.
A former techno DJ, Olivia brings a refined understanding of rhythm, flow, emotional landscape, and atmosphere to everything she offers.
​
Each session is carefully held, from sound and pacing to lighting, texture, and spatial layout, making her work especially supportive for those with sensory sensitivities. Olivia works as a sound therapist, yoga teacher, Reiki master, and intuitive, offering sessions that are calm, inclusive, and grounded in real life. Her work includes one to one and energy and sound sessions, group gong journeys and extended seasonal yoga and sound sessions,
Each offering is designed as a supportive pause within modern life, a place to reset before returning to the world with more capacity, steadiness, and access to who you really are.
Spiritual but always grounded, Olivia offers tools that are both ancient and practical. Her work is known for its warmth, and real-life reliability.
