---A Holistic Approach to Healing---
Oli believes that true healing comes from within. Her classes offer a space where individuals can focus on themselves, unlocking their potential for self-healing. There is no "body" that can heal you better than your own. The postures, sequences, and meditations Oli uses are designed to detoxify the body, enhance the lymphatic and immune systems, balance pH levels, and restore nervous system function—all while minimizing stress. Her programs are mindful of energy limitations and aim to condition the body without over-exertion.
---A Personal Journey to Wellness---
Having lived with ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia for five years, Oli personally understands the challenges of chronic illness. After her recovery in June 2012, she began teaching and sharing the tools that aided her own healing, including breathing exercises, meditation, and gentle yoga.
