Music

Olivia is an opera singer who enjoys dabbling in musical theater. She grew up singing in Sacramento Children's Chorus, an organization she was with for eleven years. She has performed throughout her hometown of Sacramento and internationally in Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, and Sweden. At eighteen years old Olivia began private vocal lessons with professional opera singer Carrie Hennessey. She immediately fell in love with Carrie's approach to exploring the voice and has now been studying with her for seven years. Olivia has performed solo at The Sofia (B Street Theater), Signa Rare Plants, The Sanctuary, and at numerous recitals.

Olivia is available for hire as a vocalist and to teach singing lessons to classical and musical theater singers of all levels. In person or via zoom.

Somatics

Olivia’s foundational understanding of somatics was built through seven years of direct experience working with the nuances of her nervous system in Carrie Hennessey’s voice studio. She has expanded her education and healing through attending Smashup Somatics group workshops, feldenkrais lessons, and studying and integrating the work of Irene Lyon, Peter Levine, and Gabor Matte.

What can you expect out of a somatic session with Olivia?

You may know of Bessel Van Der Kolk’s book “the body keeps the score,” or Gabor Mate’s “When the Body Says No,” or Peter Levine’s “Waking the Tiger.” If so, you know these books all share a common theme: trauma is stored in the body.

While you might believe the research and intuitively understand the concept of “trauma is stored in the body,” what isn’t so obvious is how to apply this information in a practical way. If trauma is stored in the body, where? How do you access it? What is the safest way to work with it? And what exactly is trauma anyway?

Olivia's group somatic workshops and private sessions aim to address these questions through direct, experiential practices. The intention is to teach foundational somatic skills and slowly expand nervous system capacity. When our nervous system capacity increases, healing begins to happen organically.

Olivia has taught workshops at Prism Art Space, The Sofia, and Signa Rare Plants as well as worked with individual clients. She is currently open to new private clients and is available to teach somatics for a variety of different groups and events. In person or via zoom.

reiki

Olivia is a certified Usui reiki practitioner and often combines her reiki practice with orienting and grounding practices from her somatic background. Reiki is an energy healing modality that can reduce pain, promote peacefulness, and have mental health benefits comparable to SSRIs. Each session is a unique experience! Clients may prefer a silent session or to speak aloud what they are noticing as they experience the energy fluctuations. Clients are encouraged to share any places of discomfort on the body that could benefit from extra care and attention.

Olivia is currently accepting reiki clients. In person only.
