Olivia is from Papua New Guinea, were she was born and grew up until she was 12. She lived in Port Moresby, Lae and in a gold mine Ok Tedi, in the Highlands. For many years, she spent most weekends in the jungle with her father and younger sister, sleeping in huts on the ground without electricity or running water. From an early age, she became aware of other dimensions of non-physical reality, surrounded by Papuan tribes, her family and her witch aunts, who initiated her into magic and tribal rituals.

In 2003, Olivia was introduced to yoga. She rapidly realized its impact in her life. So much so that she started training with masters with a desire to share her passion. In 2011, she met her mentor, Sri Andrei Ram, with whom she spent ten years studying. She discovers a traditional, yet simple yoga which goes beyond the practice centered on asanas (postures). A teaching that includes pranayama (breathing techniques), Kriya (purification techniques), Mantras, meditation, and an understanding of the koshas (the energetic anatomy) and the Chakras.

In early 2016, she founded her first yoga studio in Geneva, SoHam Yoga Studio. During that same year, she began travelling around Europe giving workshops and trainings in Barcelona, Canary Islands, Berlin and Rome, as well as in Indonesia, Jakarta, Bali for the Bali Spirit Festival, Sumatra and Singapore.

She is an experienced Yoga Alliance registered teacher (E-RYT 500) with extensive knowledge of Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa, the Iyengar method, Dharma Mittra Yoga, Hatha Raja Yoga, Liquid Flow and Yoga as a way of life. As a tireless seeker of self-realization and inner peace, Olivia will always be a student of yoga. She has been following and training under her mentor Joan Hyman, known for Schoolof.yoga, since 2021. Joan is a modern day yogini, her dedication and love is evident in her teachings which are intelligent, light-hearted and infused with a strong sense of understanding that comes from years of in-depth study.

By offering her experiences and passions, Olivia is determined to inspire well-being, happiness and truthfulness for the collective benefit of everyone.
