TESTIMONIALS

"I recently had a Spinal Energetics session with Oliviah and was blown away by the amount of clarity, relief, and inner-peace that I felt afterwards. She held such a warm, gentle space, yet the session was very powerful and emotive for me. I have been struggling heavily with grief and finally felt the dark cloud lift from over my body. I can't wait for my next session. I recommend Oliviah's services to anyone seeking to feel like themselves again. "

- Rachel

This is something that is not spoken on often – the grief, anger, and sadness that arise when we realize how long we’ve spent abandoning ourselves and our needs in order to please others, especially those who really don’t care about us. It’s important to feel these emotions rather than bypassing. From there, we can take steps towards honoring our needs wants and desires - starting to rebuild self-trust ❤️

#nervoussystem #nervoussystemhealing #innerchildhealing #relatable

You may have learned to abandon yourself and your needs as a way to cope and survive.

The thing is, self-abandonment, which once served as protection from external threat, now undermines both your relationship with yourself and the regulation your nervous system needs to feel safe.

Every time you override your needs, silence your truth, or betray your boundaries, your nervous system learns:
➡️ “I can’t rely on myself to keep me safe.”

Over time, this erodes self-trust—the foundation of inner safety—making it harder to feel secure, regulated, and whole.

This is why true safety is built by choosing to stay with yourself and honor your needs. Starting with the basics, and then moving forward from there.

#nervoussystem #nervoussystemhealing #somatics #innerchildhealing

For many, especially those with a history of trauma, turning inward can feel overwhelming. Placing a hand on the heart, tracking the breath, or sensing into the body might activate old survival responses rather than bring comfort.

And if that’s your experience—you makes complete sense. Nothing is “wrong” with you. Your nervous system is simply doing its job of protecting you in the ways it has known how.

This is why in somatic work, we don’t force. We listen. We follow what feels accessible. And sometimes, the most supportive path isn’t going deeper inside—it’s actually orienting outward.

This is when attuning to environmental cues of safety becomes a bridge.

Here’s one practice that I’ll often use with clients that you can use too:

“Take a moment to let your eyes scan the room. Notice if there’s a color, scent, sound, an object, or a quality of light that feels pleasant or safe. Stay with it. Notice what about it brings a sense of ease. Maybe it’s the warmth of the sun on the wall, the curve of a plant, or the calm in a piece of art. Stay with this for as long as feels right”

These simple practices are powerful. Each time we give our nervous system a chance to register something safe and supportive, we are building capacity and teaching our body that safety is possible—not all at once, but moment by moment.

Coming home to yourself doesn’t always mean diving straight inward. Sometimes, the doorway home is found in the environment around you, gently reminding your system: You are safe here.

#spinalenergetics #somatics #nervoussystemhealing #nervoussystem

Your inner child isn’t a problem to fix — they’re reaching out for love, safety, and connection. When you listen, you open the door to deep healing, wholeness, and freedom.

Next event: NYC! 🗽

This is Spinal Energetics. A somatic and nervous system based modality that helps you connect back to your body’s innate wisdom to heal, release stored tension and trauma, and remember the truth of who you are.

Our next event is on September 20th in Queens, NYC. Would love to have you there.

If you’re healing & reclaiming your truth and power, this page is for you 💜

A message you may need to hear ❤️

#nervoussystemhealing #nervoussystem #spinalenergetics #innerchildhealing #somatics

Sure, sharp comebacks can feel great- though when you can speak your truth, set boundaries, and share what’s real for you consistently, without fear consuming you—you’re sending a powerful message to your nervous system:

✨ It’s safe to express myself and exist exactly as I am.

And yes, getting there takes new, corrective experiences that show your system a different reality.

Because for so many of us, our inner child learned that silence was safer than honesty. That shrinking down meant survival—that staying small kept us from rejection or harm.

Healing is about rewriting that story. It’s about gently rewiring your nervous system to trust that it’s safe to take up space, to speak, to be seen.

Reclaiming your voice isn’t about yelling louder or sharper comebacks. It’s about becoming the safe haven your younger self always needed.

#nervoussystem #nervoussystemhealing #traumarelease #innerchildhealing

I promise, you’re not a shitty person for feeling this- you make sense.

When you were a child and had to “parent your parent” — maybe by taking care of their emotions, managing their stress, or carrying responsibilities beyond your years — your nervous system wired caregiving as survival. You learned: “I have to take care of them, or I’m not safe.”

Fast forward to adulthood: when your parent now asks you for things, it stirs the same old imprint. Your body remembers what it felt like to be burdened, unseen, or responsible for their well-being. That irritation or anger you feel isn’t about the small request in the present—it’s your nervous system signaling: “I don’t want to go back into that role again.”

This is a protective response. The irritation and anger is your body’s way of trying to guard you from being pulled back into the old dynamic of over-functioning and self-abandonment.

Underneath, is the deeper need to finally feel free to be the child who gets to have their own needs met—rather than always meeting someone else’s.

This is why inner child work is so important.

If you’re on a journey of breaking free from the chains of your past and reclaiming your power, my page is for you 💜

YOU make sense.

The patterns showing up in your life now are likely rooted in childhood experiences and wounds- yes, even decades later.

When our experiences are not fully processed or integrated, our nervous system continues to hold the somatic imprints, beliefs, and survival strategies we developed as children. These patterns become reinforced over time, creating automatic responses that shape how we move, feel, and show up in relationships, work, and daily life.

This is exactly why inner child work is so powerful- it IS possible to heal and rewire.

If any of this resonates with you and you’re seeking support, I offer Inner Child Embodiment—a process that weaves together inner child work, integrative somatic parts work, subconscious reprogramming, and somatic embodiment and regulation. This process helps you gain clarity on the roots of your current emotions and patterns, integrate the younger parts of you that are stuck in old loops, find lasting resolution, and reclaim your own power to know and heal yourself.

And… if you’re ready to break free from the chains of internalized shame and embody your wholeness, my 8-week program, The Return begins September 1st. This is a sacred journey that offers both 1:1 and community support, as well as…

✨ Weekly sessions
✨ Inner child healing
✨ Nervous system education & support
✨ Somatic embodiment
✨ Integrative somatic parts work
✨ Transformational coaching
✨ Energy healing (Reiki + chakra balancing)
✨ Spinal Energetics
✨ Personalized resources

You’re not dramatic & you’re not overreacting. No one should have had to experience what you did—especially not as a child.

You may wonder why these old wounds are resurfacing now. You might judge yourself for “regressing” or being “childish.” You might see your sensitivity and pain as weakness, thinking you “should be over this by now.”

I want to validate this: you make total sense. These memories and patterns are rising because you finally have the safety, support, and resources to process and integrate them in a way that wasn’t possible back then.

Breaking free from old pain and patterns isn’t just a mental process—it’s a body process. Your nervous system, your tissues, your very energy hold the stories your mind can’t always reach. That’s why helping your body navigate this is key.

Through inner child work, we meet and integrate the younger parts of ourselves that still need to be seen, held, and healed—resolving old patterns rooted in childhood wounds.

Spinal Energetics supports this process by helping your body release stored trauma, unwind tension, complete unfinished stress responses, regulate the nervous system, and release survival energy. It helps you reclaim the parts of yourself that were lost, reconnect with your body, and step into your power fully.

This is how transformation happens—not by ignoring what’s stuck, but by feeling, integrating, and allowing for your own inner wisdom to come back online.

If you’re ready to journey within and break free from what’s holding you back, see the links in my bio to learn how we can work together.

#nervoussystem #innerchildhealing #somatics #nervoussystem #spinalenergetics

So much of childhood was shaped by what was beyond our control.

And now, as adults, we hold the power to choose.
To choose how we meet ourselves.
To choose how we care for the tender parts within.
To choose how we love, respect, and honor all the younger versions and parts of us that still live inside.

You have the ability to offer yourself the safety, trust, and love you’ve always needed.

And if you’re seeking support, please reach out.
We were never meant to do this alone.

With love and belief in your healing,
Oliviah

We’ve been conditioned to believe that we are limited to our physical body, but that’s simply not true. We have an energy field with many layers that extends several feet away from our body.

During a session, gentle specific, touches-either on the body or within the field-access the nervous system, enhancing communication between the brain and body.

This can lead to involuntary movements as the body’s innate wisdom unwinds and adjusts to new patterns of alignment and function.

Clients report that, “my body was adusting and reorganizing itself without having to tell it to, it just knew.” That’s the exact goal of this work, to connect you back to your innate wisdom to know and heal yourself.

Additionally, my biofield interacts with my client’s, and subtle movements of my hands influence their energetic field, prompting physical responses and helping to guide their unwinding.

And to be clear- movement is not the goal, but a byproduct of connection and unwinding in most people.

#healingjourney #nervoussystemhealing #nervoussystem #somatics

The deepest ache isn’t in being misunderstood by the world — it’s in being unseen by the ones you love most.

There’s grief in realizing our parents, caregivers, or those closest to us may never be able to hold every single part of who we are.

Here’s what’s also true: that doesn’t mean the love isn’t there. And it doesn’t mean we can’t find the people who do see us fully. Outside of our family system, there are friendships, partners, communities, and soul connections that can meet parts of us our family never could.

No one person will ever meet all of our needs — and that’s okay. When we stop expecting one relationship to be our everything, we open ourselves to the beauty of being met in different ways by different people. Love becomes something we can weave together, piece by piece, from all the connections that see us, hold us, and cherish the fullness of who we are.

#nervoussystemhealing #viral #community

You weren’t born believing you were bad or not good enough. Somewhere along the way, you received and internalized that story—and it’s been living in your sweet body ever since.

You deserve to feel fully worthy, alive and free, not because of something you’ve accomplished, but simply because you exist.

Shame’s flame has burned long enough. It’s time to extinguish it and step into the life that’s been calling you.

Join me for The Return, an 8-week pathway back to YOU—where we weave Spinal Energetics, somatic work, inner child healing, integrative parts work, energy healing, subconscious reprogramming, and community support, to release what’s been holding you back and step fully into your truth and aliveness.

This is for the ones ready to embody their whole self—no part left behind.

We start on September 1st!

Can’t wait to see you inside ❤️‍🔥

#spinalenergetics #shame #somatics #nervoussystemhealing #nervoussystem

Anger is a natural, healthy emotion that arises when we feel hurt, frustrated, threatened, or when our boundaries are crossed. It’s our system’s way of signaling that something isn’t right or needs attention.

When expressed in healthy ways, anger can help us set boundaries, communicate needs, and create positive change. When ignored or expressed in unhealthy ways, it can lead to harm, emotional distress, and nervous system dysregulation.

🔥Here’s how to start expressing anger in healthy ways:

1. Recognize it: Notice the physical and emotional signs—clenched fists and jaw, tight chest, irritability—so you can identify anger in real time.

2. Name it: Say to yourself, “I’m feeling angry,” to acknowledge it without judgment.

3. Pause: Take a moment to breathe deeply before responding to avoid reacting impulsively.

4. Express with “I” statements: Share your feelings by focusing on yourself, like “I feel angry when…”.

5. Find outlets: Move your body, journal, use somatic practices for anger release, or talk to someone you trust to release anger safely.

6. Set boundaries: Practice stating what you need or won’t accept anymore, to honor yourself and your needs.

7. Be kind to yourself: Remember anger is a signal, not a flaw. Be gentle with yourself as you learn.

#anger #nervousystemhealing #nervoussystem #somatics

At some point in your life, you learned it was safer to make yourself wrong and to abandon parts of yourself than to risk losing love, safety, and belonging.

Perhaps you learned to hide your personality and needs because expressing yourself led to rejection. You may have silenced your voice because speaking up caused conflict. And you may have numbed your emotions because feeling them made you seem “too much” for others.

Shame doesn’t just live in your mind — it imprints itself into your body. It can feel like a heavy weight on your chest, a posture that collapses, tightness in your throat, heat rising in your belly, heart and face, or a hollow pit deep in your stomach. It is the instinct to shrink, hide, and pull away. This is not who you are. It’s a brilliant survival strategy you adopted to protect yourself when you had no other choice.

You were never too much or not enough. You were adapting to people, a world, and system that didn’t know how to hold you in your fullness. And now, you have the ability to RETURN home to yourself. To hold the full, whole YOU- to reclaim your power, your truth, expression, and voice.

If you resonate, I see you. Know that there is a way through this, not an easy way, though one that’s so incredibly rewarding. A path to your freedom.

#spinalenergetics #nervoussystemhealing #nervoussystem #somatics #shame

Our nervous system doesn’t rewire and heal when we tell it to — it rewires when we show it something new.

If you’ve lived in survival mode, your body has learned to expect danger. No amount of positive thinking alone convinces it otherwise.

It needs new, embodied experiences that contradict the old story. Moments of safety, support, joy, and connection become evidence for your system:
“Look, it’s different now. It’s safe to be here.”

With repetition, your baseline changes, and you begin to shift from surviving to thriving. Healing IS so very possible for you.

Are you ready to be deeply supported in your process? I’m currently accepting new clients. Head to the first link in my bio to work together 💜

#nervoussystemhealing #subconsciousmind #nervoussystem #somatics #spinalenergetics

We must meet the parts resisting change and forward movement with curiosity and compassion. That is how we get unstuck.

#nervoussystemhealing #nervoussystem #subconsciousmind

At some point, it felt safer to believe there was something wrong with you than to face the unbearable pain of being unloved, unseen, or rejected as you were.

So you turned on yourself. Not because you were broken — but because shame gave you a strategy.
“If it’s my fault, maybe I can fix it.
Maybe if I become different, better, quieter, more pleasing…I won’t be left. I’ll be safe. I’ll be loved then.”

This is a survival response.

And now you’re realizing that the cost was high.
To survive, you had to fracture. You learned to disconnect from your truth, your needs, and your voice to be loved.

That’s what internalized shame does. It teaches you to you abandon yourself in hopes of being accepted.

Healing starts when you realize:
You were never too much or not enough. You were adapting to people, a world, and system that didn’t know how to hold you in your fullness. And now, you have the ability to RETURN home to yourself. To hold the full, whole YOU- to reclaim your power, your truth, expression, and voice.

If you resonate, I see you. Know that there is a way through this, not an easy way, though one that’s so incredibly rewarding. A path to your freedom.

#shame #nervoussystemhealing #nervoussystem #somatics

You don’t need to forgive them to heal—but you do need to grieve the repair you never got.

Often, what rises in that space isn’t just sadness and grief—it’s anger.

Anger at the betrayal, the silence, the violation of boundaries, the lack of respect and accountability.

Unprocessed anger doesn’t just vanish—it gets stored in your fascia, your nervous system, your posture. It tightens your chest, clenches your jaw, and whispers “it’s not safe” in your body.

Healing begins when you stop suppressing and start feeling. When you allow the rage, the sorrow, the truth to move through you—not to live in you.

If you’re ready to begin the journey of release, reconnection, and reclaimation, I offer 1:1 sessions both in-person and virtually, programs, and group events across the USA.

See my bio to get connected ❤️

#nervoussystemhealing #traumarelease #spinalenergetics #somatics #nervoussystem #fascia

While we can’t erase the memories of our past, we can help our bodies to discharge stored survival energy and return to a state of regulation, safety, and presence. This is possible, and it’s one beautiful part of Spinal Energetics.

#nervoussystemhealing #nervousystem #somatics

Rest, play, nourishing food, hydration, downtime, and intentionally slowing the pace of your life—these are essential to nervous system healing. We cannot heal at the same pace that overwhelmed us. Healing asks for slowness, presence, and care for our mind, body, and soul.

#nervoussystemhealing

As babies, we depended entirely on our caregivers’ nervous systems to help us regulate. At that stage, our brains weren’t yet developed enough to manage emotions, stress, or physical needs on our own.

When we don’t receive consistent, nurturing co-regulation and attuned responsiveness, it can impact how we manage stress and form secure attachments later in life.

In adulthood, learning how to safely connect and relate to others isn’t just emotionally nourishing — it’s essential for the health of our nervous system. Co-regulation repairs attachment wounds, builds capacity in our system to handle stress, and supports long-term resilience.

We are biologically wired for connection 🤝 Co-regulation isn’t just helpful — it’s imperative for healing, safety, and nervous system regulation.

#nervoussystemhealing #somatics #nervoussystem #innerchildhealing #coregulation

Your fascia tightened to hold the shape of your silence.

Because back then, staying quiet felt safer than speaking your truth.

Staying small, hidden, unseen—that’s how you survived. And your body, in its brilliance, helped you do just that.

But now… you’re beginning to remember: You’re not in that place anymore. And you’re ready— to reclaim your voice, your power, your full expression.

If you’re in this space, Spinal Energetics may be for you.

This work isn’t just about release— it’s about reclamation and reorganizing your body, your nervous system, and your energetic field to reflect who you truly are.

It’s about redefining safety, and bringing more of YOU online.

You deserve to feel free, alive, and at home in yourself.

I’m here when you’re ready 💜

#nervoussystemhealing #somatics #nervoussystem #innerchildhealing #spinalenergetics #traumarelease #fascia

You can’t force healing. Ever.

And you can’t rush someone into feeling what their body and nervous system aren’t yet ready to hold.

Especially with emotions like anger—
because it’s rarely just anger.
It’s layered. Protective. Often shielding deeper grief, unspoken truth, and long-held vulnerability.

The body won’t release what it doesn’t feel safe to hold.

So whether you’re holding space as a practitioner, or walking alongside someone you love, remember:

✨ Your presence is more healing than your pressure.
✨ Trust in their timing, not your urgency.
✨ Let their soul & nervous system set the pace.

Healing doesn’t follow our expectations— it unfolds when safety arrives and when readiness is felt.

On their timeline, not ours.

I wish everyone on this planet knew about Spinal Energetics. It saved my life and continues to transform the lives of my clients across the world.

One beautiful part of this work is that you don’t have to go back into the memories and stories- this is an opportunity for your body and nervous system to speak and release all they’ve been holding in. An opportunity to discharge stored survival energy, reconnect with your body, remember & embody your truth, and unwind tension along your spine that has been contributing to distress in all aspects of your life.

Trauma release is one aspect of this ultimate return to self and to your innate intelligence to know and heal yourself.

When you’re ready for this deep work, head to my website (linked in my bio) to work together.

#nervoussystem #nervoussystemhealing #traumarelease #healingjourney #somatics #innerchildhealing #spinalenergetics

Nervous system healing goes far beyond deep breaths, tapping, and the viral somatic exercises you see on social media (though those are powerful tools).

This work is profound. It asks you to meet the parts of yourself you’ve spent a lifetime avoiding.

It invites you to rewire patterns that were formed in moments of pain, fear, and survival.

It’s not just about what you do — it’s about how you live, relate, express, and reclaim safety in your body and life.

Here is a breakdown of the 5 key elements – stay tuned for part 2 💜

#nervoussystemhealing #nervoussystem #somatics #healingjourney #spinalenergetics #traumarelease

The pain in your heart isn’t a problem to solve — it holds truth that longs to be met with safety, presence and compassion.

We’re so quick to fix, to solve, to numb, to move on.

But some pain doesn’t need a solution like we think— it needs space.
A witness.
A gentle holding.

Perhaps that is the solution after all.

And sometimes, things just f’n hurt— and the only way the pain loosens its grip is by letting ourselves feel what lives within.

This is why nervous system work is so important. Because in order to truly feel, process, and integrate what lives within (without numbing or running away) we must have the capacity, resources, and the safety to do so.

If this resonates, you’re not alone. I’m here when you’re ready 💜

#soothewellness #spinalenergetics #energyhealing #somatics #nervoussystemhealing #traumarelease

Honoring all the cycle breakers ❤️
-
-
Increasing research in epigenetics and somatic psychology reveals that unresolved trauma, grief, and emotional suppression can be inherited through generations, passed down through both behavioral modeling and biological imprinting in our nervous systems and gene expression. What your grandmother couldn’t cry, what your mother had to suppress to survive, may live on in your body, waiting for resolution.

This is why talking alone isn’t enough. Healing must involve the body, energetic field, and nervous system. It must touch what words cannot reach.

Spinal Energetics allows the body to release what it has held for far too long—not only for you, but for those who came before you, and those who will follow.

It is a reclamation of all that was once silenced, stored, and suppressed—and a return to wholeness, not only for you, but for your entire lineage.

All humans feel anger.

It’s a natural, protective response to boundary violations, unmet needs, or injustice. If you never feel angry, you’re not free of it — you’ve likely learned to suppress it. Not because something’s wrong with you but because at some point, expressing anger didn’t feel safe.

So your body found other ways to carry it.

Here’s how suppressed or stored anger might show up for you:
• Your jaw hurts after a tough conversation — and you didn’t even realize you were clenching.
• Unexplained, low back pain on the right side that worsens with stress.
• You replay arguments in your head, sometimes years later, wishing you had said more.
• You say “it’s fine” when it’s not — then feel heavy, irritated, or shut down.
• You get uncomfortable or annoyed when others express anger.
• You laugh things off… but feel a burning in your chest or stomach afterward.
• You freeze in conflict, then judge yourself harshly later.
• You walk into a room, someone glances your way, and your body tenses and you think, “What’s their problem?”

This is anger — without a safe outlet.
And it doesn’t make you dramatic, broken, or “too much.” It makes you human.

The unseen… yet deeply felt.
The quiet rhythm beneath the noise.
The pull in your heart —
the echoes of something ancient,
a silent current that’s always been guiding you home.

Before words, there was energy.
Before form, there was frequency.
We’ve always been —
resonance becoming breath,
light taking shape,
energy remembering itself.

The stories we carry, the sensations we hold —
they are not just memory.
They are movement.
Unspoken truths and energy that longs to be witnessed,
felt,
and finally set free.

Your soul remembers.
Don’t stop feeling.
That’s how you find your way back home ❤️

⏰ When Urgency Arises:

Name what you’re feeling. Say out loud:
“This is urgency. I feel it in my chest. My thoughts are racing. I feel like I have to fix or do something right now.”

Then, gently remind yourself:
“I’m safe in this moment. I don’t need to rush. I will show my body it’s safe to be here now.”

Then, turn to the following practices to support your nervous system 🌿

1. Orient to Your Environment
Breathe, relax your shoulders and jaw and turn your head slowly to observe the space you’re in. Name what you can hear, see, touch, and smell. This grounds your awareness in the present moment and engages your ventral vagal system, which supports feelings of safety and connection.

2. Shake or Move Your Body
Stand up and shake out your hands, arms, and legs—move energy through your body for 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Movement helps discharge adrenaline and cortisol, the stress hormones that fuel urgency and panic, allowing your system to reset.

4. Self-holding
Place your hands on your heart and belly, or wrap your arms around for a hug. Feel your breath under your hands and speak something soothing to yourself like, “I’m safe. I can slow down.” Gentle touch and self-soothing tones lower your body’s perception of threat, creating a felt sense of safety.

5. Use Temperature to Shift States
Splash cold water on your face, hold an ice cube or something warm like a mug of tea or a heating pad. Temperature shifts stimulate the autonomic nervous system, interrupting sympathetic activation and helping the body return to regulation.

6. Hum or Sing
Let out a long, low hum or sing softly to yourself to stimulate your vagus nerve and your parasympathetic nervous system.

7. Visualize a Calm Image or Place
With your eyes open or closed, imagine a place that feels warm, safe, and still. Let your body feel what it’s like to be there. This activates calming neural pathways and brings the body into a regulated, grounded state—even without changing your external environment.

Save this for later and remember: you cannot heal at the same speed that overwhelms you—slowing down, catching yourself, and interrupting urgency with presence and compassion is the way through 💜

Spinal Energetics isn’t about creating chaos.

It’s about gently guiding what’s been held for years-
the tension, the emotions, the beliefs—to rise to the surface, when they’re ready.

So you can finally feel them, free them, and return home to yourself, to your body, and to your truth.

People-pleasing is often a protective strategy rooted in early experiences where love, safety, or belonging felt conditional. As children, many of us learned that being agreeable, of service, and self-sacrificing kept us connected to caregivers, while expressing needs, setting boundaries, or showing anger led to rejection, punishment, or emotional neglect. To stay safe, we suppressed our anger and disconnected from our needs and authentic voice.

Over time, this survival pattern becomes ingrained—leading us to chronically prioritize others, avoid conflict, and feel guilt or fear when trying to advocate for ourselves. But that suppressed anger doesn’t just go away—it lives in the body. It commonly shows up as back pain, digestive issues, chronic fatigue, jaw clenching, and shoulder tension. Yes…even years later as adults.

Healing begins when we recognize people-pleasing not as a flaw, but as a nervous system response—and when we create safety to feel and process what’s been buried, and come home to our true, empowered self.
