Olivia is a poet, dancer, Oracle, and mother—a gold hoop wearing, Remy drinking, cussing medicine woman. A lover, teacher, listener, and ceremonialist whose work is rooted in authentic connection, energetic awareness, and transformational relationship.
As an Esoteric Artist, Olivia reads energy fluently and brings love, depth, and presence into everything she touches — whether through conversation, ceremony, creative expression, or facilitation.
Her presence is magnetic, playful, professional, and profound, creating spaces where women feel both deeply seen and powerfully challenged to step into more of themselves.
With more than 20 years of experience working with both men and women, Olivia is known for her ability to gently yet masterfully draw out the most hidden and avoided parts of the human experience and bring them into breath, awareness, release, and transformation.
Her facilitation style is rooted in authentic relationship, accountability, emotional honesty, and the restoration of feminine power. She creates experiences that encourage women to reconnect with their truth, their voice, their desires, their softness, and their strength.
Olivia describes herself as both safe Sisterhood and unwavering Motherhood—a guide who reminds women how powerful, necessary, and transformational their femininity truly is.
“I am your Muse.”
Dr. Danite, Emotional Wellness & Embodiment Facilitator
Healing Through Love, Pleasure, & Bliss
Dr. Danite is a naturopathic doctor with over 17 years of experience specializing in mental and emotional wellness, known for her ability to guide people into deep, embodied transformation.
After years of running a successful clinical practice, she reached a point of burnout—despite outward success. That experience became a turning point, leading her into a deeper exploration of healing that went beyond the mind and into the body, the nervous system, and the emotional landscape.
Through this personal and professional evolution, she expanded her work into immersive, experiential spaces—where true transformation can be felt, not just understood.
Her approach weaves together Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic awareness, and tantric principles to help individuals safely access and release stored emotional patterns, reconnect with their bodies, and experience a renewed sense of aliveness.
Dr. Danite is especially known for creating spaces that feel both grounded and expansive—where participants can soften their defenses, move through emotional release, and rediscover connection to themselves in a way that feels natural and deeply supportive.
Her facilitation is intuitive, deeply attuned, and rooted in both clinical expertise and lived experience—allowing her to meet people exactly where they are, while guiding them into meaningful and lasting transformation.

Her sound healing sessions are immersive and deeply intentional, combining various instruments and vocals to create experiences that restore, reconnect, and open the heart.
As a songwriter, poet, and visual artist, Taran brings a rare creative depth to her healing work. She is also a passionate teacher, guiding others through teaching sound healing, Vocal Alchemy, songwriting, and creative writing as pathways to self-expression, healing, and reclaiming their voice.
She believes that creativity is medicine, and that every person carries a story, a song, and a sound that deserves to be expressed.

Her classes are a sacred, grounding experience designed for you to find stillness, pause, and feel. With a focus on functional anatomy rather than rigid alignment, she encourages students to meet their unique edge with curiosity and ease.
