Jenna Dolan - Energetic Guide & Wisdom Keeper
It’s coming up on three years since Olivia and I completed our journey together, and yet in many ways that journey is still alive and weaving its threads through my life.
I found Olivia at a time when my life had profoundly shifted and I was navigating a deep unknown. Almost everything I had known about my life had been quickly stripped away, and while I was no stranger to walking through mystery, this was a time I deeply desired someone to walk with me.
I saw in Olivia someone who had done deep work within herself to hold herself the way she did, freely and with a soft and open heart. I saw a woman who had a fierce dedication to her expression, a deep relationship with her sex, a commitment to what is true, and the most joyful reception to the magic of the mundane (to use an Olivia phrase).
A saw a woman who could walk with me through the dark, be with me in the places I felt the furthest from myself and guide me through the places I could not yet see.
Olivia’s holding was gentle, warm and clear, with an enormous amount of permission to be exactly where I was. There was no place we couldn’t go, no dark corner of my life we couldn’t explore, no moment of beauty that didn’t go without celebration. In response to the drastic life changes I had experienced, I had put on many layers of protection, which also kept me at a distance from the essence of myself and my own heart. Olivia’s holding and guidance gently pierced those layers and created the invitation to allow them to melt. But only at my pace. Always at my pace.
Perhaps the biggest surprise of working with Olivia was the company I found myself in. I did not realize at the time how much I needed the support of a community of women doing the deep work together. The way Olivia holds group spaces and creates community within them is masterful, holding the integrity of the space to the highest degree while welcoming each person’s individual expression, reception, and deepening.
After a year of working with Olivia, I began to touch my home channel again. It was a returning and deepening. I found the connection to myself that I had lost for a while. A deeper access to my heart and my voice. Being held by Olivia at this time in my life was one of the most generous gifts I have given myself. The end of my time with her marked a beginning and a waypost, one I continue to return to and will always be grateful for.
