Her studies included Acupuncture, Counselling, Chinese Herbs, Food as Medicine, Qi Gong and Tai Chi, Do In, Spiritual Alchemy in the Taoist Tradition, as well as Krishnamurti, and inner and outer Feng Shui.

Olivia has completed many post-graduate courses and certifications, including a full-year apprenticeship with her then Oriental Medicine teacher and mentor Geoffrey Wilson in 2005, certified training in 5 Elemental Acupuncture, Pregnancy and Childbirth Acupuncture with leading author and teacher Debra Betts, Cosmetic Acupuncture (trained by Virginia Doran in 2005, Mary Elizabeth Wakefield in 2011, 2013 and 2021), Esoteric Acupuncture and Healing with Mikio Sankey, and Male and Female Fertility with numerous teachers. More recently she’s also trained in Munich, Germany with leading teacher Marc Mezard in Traditional Oriental Medicine with particular focus on endocrinology and in New York City with Lonny Jarrett on ‘nourishing one’s destiny’ through Taoism and the 5 Elements. She undertook further training in Ashville, North Carolina, with leading Taoist monk and Oriental Medicine Doctor Jeffrey Yuen, on the various stages and development of the soul during pregnancy, as well as traditional healing protocols for Diabetes Type 1 and 2.

Olivia also qualified as a Reiki practitioner in the year 2001 and comes from a long lineage of healers from the Russian side of her family, mostly influenced by her mother and grandmother who were the first to show her what’s possible transmitting healing through hands and/or intention. She has also been lucky to have much-loved practitioner Melissa Armstrong as her personal energy healing mentor and healer for the past 15 years. Olivia believes to heal others one needs to take one’s own path of self-healing and development seriously, and this belief guides her on her professional and personal journeys to this day.

Olivia is a certified Meditation Teacher, having taught individuals and groups from a diverse range of both spiritual and non-devotional backgrounds. Her own experience with meditation started over 20 years ago. She now tailors each meditation practice to the style most beneficial to each individual client, student or group, and is passionate about making meditation a personalized practice for each and every client in a tangible and inspiring way.

Olivia also has a range of other professional experience including: supervising and teaching Oriental medicine students during their student clinic hours at the Endeavour College of Natural Health, teaching high school students meditation to ease stress during their HSC at the High School of Performing Arts in Newtown, running meditation workshops to organizations such as Universal Music and Coca Cola, teaching and guiding meditation and facilitating healings at the ‘Safe House’ in Sydney, volunteering healing and acupuncture for villagers at the Thrangu monastery in Nepal, and volunteering healing for the veterinarians and ‘mahouts’ at the Elephant Conservation Centre in Laos.
