At Heart on the Matter we aspire to bring you opportunities of embodying a nature-immersive experience, with your surroundings and within yourself. We do so from a vision of merging Internal Family Systems (IFS), Yoga, Somatic Internal Family Systems (SIFS) and others that may be a platform for deepening and expanding such intention of connection.

Olivia has experience of teaching yoga for 25+ years in a variety of settings including classes and workshops for pregnancy, postnatal and for the elderly.
Her yoga and movement teaching has been inspired by yoga teachers John Stirk, Sandra Sabatini and Peter Blackaby and she also draws from her experience of practicing Feldenkrais and Somatics taught by Sabine Blackaby and informed by Thomas Hanna’s work. These help to restore natural body movement and bring balance to our nervous system.
Olivia is also an IFS Institute Lead Trainer and qualified Registered Psychotherapist.
