Hello, I'm Olivia

I grew up in a small village in the canton of Lucerne, surrounded by meadows, mountains, and the feeling that everything was fine here. But behind the calm facade of my childhood lay much that remained unspoken. I learned early on to appear strong, even when I often felt small inside. I became a master at functioning with a smile on my face, even when things looked completely different on the inside.

 

Even as a child, I sensed I was somehow different. I often felt out of place, yet still wanted to fit in. So I adapted, always hoping to be "normal" and not fall outside the mold. But the more I tried to be like others, the more I distanced myself from myself. This inner rejection accompanied me for many years, quietly but powerfully.

Today I know: This very difference is my gift. My path has been characterized by inner work, intensive processes, and profound insights, and that is precisely what I share with others today.

 

Through my training as a certified Greator coach and breathwork coach, my intensive Feng Shui training, and my experience as a qualified architect, I have developed a holistic view of life. I know how much our environment influences our inner world, and vice versa. Spaces speak. They reflect our inner selves. And when we change something externally, it can have a profound effect on ourselves.

 

At the same time, I've found incredibly powerful methods in breathwork and coaching that work directly with what is so often suppressed: our feelings. In my group and one-on-one sessions, I support people in releasing deeply buried emotions through conscious breathing, finding clarity, and reconnecting with themselves. Touch, music, and intuition play an important role in this process, because healing happens on many levels, not just in the mind.

 

I've experienced firsthand how powerful it is when you begin to truly encounter yourself, with everything that's there. To stop pushing away feelings and give them space. To stop hiding and instead show yourself, exactly as you are.

 

Today, I live in western Switzerland, regularly giving breathwork group sessions, 1:1 coaching, and Feng Shui consultations, and working with people who sense that there's more waiting for them. More depth, more authenticity, more vitality. In my work, I combine architectural knowledge, intuitive energy work, and psychological depth, always with the goal of accompanying you holistically on your path.

 

I believe that transformation begins with that first honest look within. And sometimes you just need someone to lovingly hold and guide you through it.

this is my way

2013

Graduated from high school with a focus on visual design

Already during the Kantonsschule i loved to be creative. The main subject of artistic design gave me the opportunity to let off steam. I also loved very precise subjects like mathematics, which is why I decided to study architecture - the perfect mix of art and mathematics.

2014

3-month language stay in England

Languages have never been my talent. Nevertheless, I wanted to use the time and traveled to England to improve my English. It was always clear to me that you have to be able to speak languages in order to be able to really exchange ideas with others.

2017

Degree Bachelor of Arts in Architecture

I finally made it! I was able to start my career as an architect and started working in an architecture office in Lucerne. However, I quickly realized that this did not fulfill me at all and I began to look for ways to give my creativity more space again and thus bring more joy and fun into my life.

2021

Completion of coaching training as a life coach

After years of searching, I came across Greator's coaching training by chance and immediately signed up for it. My life turned 180 degrees during the apprenticeship. I finally understood why certain situations kept coming into my life and the tools I learned were able to break this cycle. I started giving coaching on the side and helping other people to leave their own problems behind.

Nevertheless, I have always felt that coaching is a stepping stone for me and not yet the end of my professional Career. I always had the vision to combine architecture and coaching. However, I had no idea how to do that because these two areas are very different...

2021

Move to western Switzerland

After the coaching training, I felt that I had to go far away from where I was before so that I could develop further. I gave up everything for this. Apartment, job, relationship, language and I moved to western Switzerland, although I hardly spoke a word of French at the time. However, I knew that I needed a "cut" to receive what I wanted in my life. For me it was the bravest step I have ever taken in my life, but it was definitely worth it.

2023 - 2024

Start and completion of training for

certified Feng Shui expert IAF

I learned about Feng Shui from a colleague and was immediately hooked on it. I finally found the combination of architecture and coaching! Everything suddenly made sense, my whole career suddenly became so logical. Without daring to step into the coaching world, I would never have been open and willing to get involved in this further training. 

2024

Start and completion of Breathwork Facilitator at Restorative Breathing® Teacher Trainer 2

(300h)

In order to develop myself personally, I always get help from mentors who are where I want to be. One of my mentors introduced me to breathwork. When I went to a session with her for the first time, I knew straight away that I wanted to learn that too, because breathwork is a very profound and efficient tool for working with the subconscious and it supports and complements everything I've been doing up to now.
