Created with love by a survivor for survivors
A psycho-spiritual program of deep, nurturing restoration and empowerment, designed specifically around soothing and healing the imbalances symptomatic of being a survivor of abuse.
•
Whether you just left the relationship or have been out of it for decades, the distortions created by abuse can burrow deep into your Self.
The Initiation uncovers these wounds of spirit and mind and tends them with gentleness, walking you through to the other side, and leaving you with tools to use long after the program ends.
How do you heal from a long-term traumatic experience so total that it can:
• destroy your self-trust and self-esteem
• throw your nervous system into chaos
• flood your system with enough cortisol to wound your brain, imbalance your hormones, and damage your metabolism
• make you distrustful and paranoid
• dismantle your worldview and leave you questioning even the smallest things you used to believe
• make simple tasks feel insurmountable
• create a wall between you and the outside world- even close friends and family
• disrupt sleep and worsen inflammation
• create a state of almost constant hypervigilance and unease
• cause stubborn residual shame for things that were beyond your control
You could.....
1- put together a team of therapists who specialize in trauma and complex trauma, IFS, somatic and vagal therapies, and the cognitive-behavioral wounds of abuse (crossing your fingers for people with lived experience, rather than just superficial knowledge).
Or you could...
2- get all of that in the form of ONE cohesive program tailored specifically to victims of abuse and their unique struggles.

What the First Initiates are Saying
“It’s the way Olivia pauses the plan to deal in real time with emotions, stuck places, and old programing that bubble to the forefront in our sessions, that has been the most healing for me. She is knowledgeable, soulful and works a loving alchemy by going with kind acceptance and assurance into my dark places and scars. It’s been a bold, empowering paradigm shift to work with her.”
“I did the new somatic exercise today when I felt extremely activated over something my ex-husband did. It is SO effective. I have such a physical reaction to it each time. I get the chills on my entire body. It’s been bringing me to tears that I feel like I’ve been holding in. Today after being activated it was even more of an intense response. Even if I only do it a few minutes it makes me feel exhausted, calm and just so tired. Thank you so much for all that you are helping me through.”
"Olivia has such an intuitive understanding of narcissists and navigating around them. But the focus isn't on them- it's on you and what you need to feel strong again. And I do! Not much has changed in my situation, but now I feel so much more empowered in myself and how to stay that way even after the program ends."
Hi- I'm Olivia.
Initiation by Narcissist is the condensed version of my own slow, bumpy journey from extreme helplessness and dysfunction (matching many symptoms of complex ptsd) to the other side: resilient self-love, the tools to navigate the inevitable hard spots with confidence, and gratitude for all I've overcome (but not for the person who caused it- see below).
After more than ten years in an abusive marriage and then ongoing post-separation terrors, I know I'll never again be who I was before. I've chosen to embrace that and to be something new.
Overcoming abuse initiated me into a world of personal power I never could've imagined.
Now I show other women how to rise from their own ashes.

Someone said,
'The opposite of trauma isn't 'healed', it's aliveness.'
This speaks to my belief that abuse recovery has to be a multi-layered experience, engaging and enchanting every aspect of a spirit that had to dim itself and compartmentalize in order to survive.
It's also why a program like this could only have been created by another abuse survivor- someone who knows all the nooks and crannies of shame, despair, 'irrational' fears, and more.
Initiation by Narcissist does NOT mean that the person who tried to destroy you was actually doing you a favor. It means that they were your greatest trial and surviving them can lead you to your greatest power.
Find your power and start living again.
This program is the fruit of....
• 15 years with a narcissist/ master manipulator
• almost 10 years of recovery/ post-separation abuse
• the same amount of years learning about trauma, the nervous system, complex ptsd, parental estrangement, and various healing modalities
• 2 years training in herbalism and traditional women's health
• 7 years of empowering women and girls through group and private programs
•
My personal experience has given me bottomless empathy for the way females in our society are estranged from our bodies, our gifts, our power.
This then makes us vulnerable to the abusers, manipulators, and predators who use that estrangement to their own benefit.
I intend to change this.
• My Values & Commitment •
• Your abuser is NOT your teacher (anything you learn from that experience is not because they were trying to enrich your life).
• Forgiveness is NOT a cure-all. Anyone pressuring you to forgive is probably doing it for their own comfort, not yours.
• You do NOT need to 'be more positive'. Anger, grief, fear, distrust, self-criticism, etc are all appropriate responses to being treated horribly by someone you trusted. They exist to protect you and will move on when they're no longer needed.
• It is NOT your job to always 'take the high road', 'be the bigger person', etc for people who don't reciprocate this generosity. At a certain point, you're just enabling them to keep mistreating you and putting their ease before your self-respect.
My work is guiding people to find and trust the inner wisdom we all have. I have a sacred responsibility not to gaslight you and I take it very seriously.

Frequently asked questions
Q
Is this program only for people who were with narcissists?
A
Absolutely not- victims of psychopaths, sociopaths and other disorders will benefit just as much, as will people who have found themselves in multiple toxic relationships, but aren't sure if they were technically 'abusive' or not.
Diagnoses or not, the traits of people who exploit and dominate others have a lot of overlap and provoke similar results in their targets. Because it works from the 'ground up', the Initiation is deeply healing for the exploited and dominated.
Q
Doesn't it take far longer than 7 weeks to heal from abuse?
A
Yes- healing is not linear and Initiation by Narcissist embraces that fact. The program is designed to teach you the perspective and tools to embrace your own cyclical process and to work with it even after the program is done. Additionally, the worksheets between sessions are crucial for getting the most out of this experience.
Q
Are you a licensed therapist?
A
No! And if that's a dealbreaker for you, it's good to know that up front.
While several of the modalities I use come from western medicine, my perspective on healing comes from far more holistic models of ancient and indigenous sciences. In addition, I've been deeply immersed in the world of trauma for several years now, but the bulk of what informs this program is from my lived experience of abuse and what I learned out of necessity to heal.
Q
Does the 7 sessions need to be completed within 7 weeks?
A
No, there's room to reschedule as needed, according to my usual cancellation policy. You can also set up the program with breaks from the beginning.
Some people have found that having a week break between parts (a pause after sessions 2, 4, and 6 for the Basic and Premium programs, or after 3, 6, and 9 for the Deluxe program) gives them a chance to process everything they're learning and improve their grasp of it.
What Clients Say
Before I found Olivia, I had done some "clinical" talk therapy, which was foundationally helpful but still limited. I realized that I was looking for something more spiritually-minded, human-centric, and attuned to the natural order of the world.
Olivia offered me the perfect middle ground – a supportive space, where I could just talk, as well as a guiding hand for the more metaphysical aspects of the human experience.
Her alternative approaches to working through issues were refreshing and would stay with me for weeks after our sessions. She gave me tools I could use in my daily life, particularly in relation to staying grounded and connected. She has a knack for visualization and meditation techniques that most standard therapists wouldn't even bother with, and I found these to be hugely helpful.
Moreover, Olivia was instrumental in helping me work through an incredibly stressful period of my life that descended on me unexpectedly and she continues to be instrumental in supporting my deeper, shadowed elements (childhood wounding, womb health, motherhood, etc.).
I feel that no matter the topic, she always has a wise perspective up her sleeve that reminds me of my humanness, my uniqueness. As a bonus, she exudes a comforting, motherly energy, while staying easygoing and cheerful – and we always have a good laugh or two... :) Thank you Olivia! <3
• Tanya V •
Olivia worked with my teen daughter and held space for her when she felt so far from me. It was so important and so soul opening to have someone in a state of calm, with so much motherly love, to hear and hold my daughter when felt like I couldn't reach her.
You have saved a life, Olivia, and I am eternally grateful.
• Martha Z•
I am so grateful for Olivia's unique offerings and the way she holds space for us to remember.
She makes the simple and accessible, profound and healing.
• Sheerlie R •
If you're on the fence, reach out immediately! Toss aside what you believe about traditional therapies and embrace all the different modalities that Olivia uses.
Working with her, I know how it feels to have someone on my side no matter what. She always validates my feelings, reminding me that they have a purpose, and helping me look into what that purpose might be.
I felt like our sessions were a safe space right off the bat. I also appreciate how she doesn't refrain from sharing her opinions and giving advice like traditional therapists do. She uses her life experience to support our sessions and that's been invaluable!
• Christy V •
Thank you for bringing your work to the world!
So much of what you shared with my daughter is aligned with how we live AND hearing it from you, and her having her own experience with you was powerful for her.
Your energy and the tone was also aligned for her and how she was able to integrate it.
I am grateful for YOU!
• Jules D •
When the world feels overwhelming, I am beyond grateful that you're in it!
Your vision of the world coupled with your life experience feels like an ancient wisdom that brings me back to the roots I had lost of my life journey.
Your teachings have truly helped me find balance and calm that I utilize now in my daily life.
• Amee F •
Trying to co-parent with an ex who's seemingly incapable of just being straight with me is so stressful. And then my worry for our child takes that to a whole other level. Very very few therapists get what that's like and even fewer can give real, practical advice on how to navigate the impossible situations that come up. Olivia can.
She helps me understand his behavior and then make choices that prioritize the well-being of my kid and me. And keep our mother-child relationship strong.
And then she'll give you a recipe for reducing inflammation or ask you what your cycle's been like! We usually talk about relationships, parenting, emotional health- but she always reminds me that those influence my physical health and vice versa.
• Marcy M •
I spent over a year researching and reaching out to mental health professionals in search of someone to talk with to work through some of the stuff I’m overcoming. I kept hitting road blocks and I should have taken them as a sign.
I realized that my values didn’t align with Western Medicine anyway and the answer I was seeking was in my insta feed the whole time!
I’ve been working with Olivia for over a season and it's been so helpful for better understanding myself and the relationships around me. I started with one of her classes where she demonstrated how much knowledge she has to share and her private sessions provide an opportunity to dive deep into the murky waters of the self.
She’s a safe harbor, I’m grateful that she has crossed my path and serves as my teacher during this phase of life.
