OLIVIA MENDOZA
Hi, I'm Olivia.
Trauma-Informed · IFS trained · Breathwork Facilitator · Embodiment Practitioner · Women's Circle Holder · Intuitive Writer · Self-Healer · Sober Warrior · Weaver & Believer of Magic and Mystery ·
I believe deeply that we are our own healers, and I’m here to show you how to access the heart medicine within you.
When working with me you are working with someone who ‘gets it’. My journey through, and recovery from, substance addiction, self-harm, depression and developmental trauma has gifted me a unique insight into our wondrous ability as humans to heal ourselves, and an unshakeably solid foundation to hold space for your experience with expansive compassion and empathy.
Breathwork is the yellow brick road to the home within yourself. On the other side of the breath is a place of self-discovery, of clarity, of pure love. It is my deepest joy and privilege to share this with you.
HOW TO WORK WITH ME
Discover the alchemic power of your own breath with 1:1 healing sessions, or collectively in women's circles.
The Soul Library is a book-lover’s weekly healing circle, where together we journey through soul-nourishing, spiritual books.
Imagine having a team of personal cheerleaders, supporting and encouraging you through your buoyancy and your joy, through your struggles and your pain. A circle of women walking with you, championing you, no matter what mood you’re in or what’s going on in your life.
This is an enchantingly tender space, free from judgement, interjection or advice. In circle we listen with our hearts, not our heads. We see ourselves mirrored in each other’s stories, we witness the full rainbow of human emotion, and we experience in a deeply embodied way that we are not alone.
Our sometimes solitary journeys become interwoven, pouring honey on our hearts and igniting fire in our bellies. We are gifted the energetic infusion to transform and to be transformed.
Our aim is not to ‘fix’ ourselves, but to make peace with the ebbs and flows of growth, of life and transitions, of being human.
The Soul Library seamlessly and wondrously weaves together the magic of books and the ancient sorcery of Circles.
More heart, more healing, more harmony. A way to meet your inner child and all your parts with amplified kindness, compassion and care.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a process of expanding conscious awareness of unconscious patterning.
This innovative, evidence based therapy model is rooted in the idea that we have not one mind but multiple parts. Each of these parts has their own voice, needs, reactions and roles, taken on to help us survive.
If you’ve ever experienced internal conflict about anything ever, this is a way to untangle and understand why.
Rather than seeing ourselves or our symptoms as something ‘wrong’, we approach them with curiosity and care. We find out why they’re there and what they want, which opens up an inner experience of calmness, compassion and clarity.
An enchanting residential retreat weaving together the gentle alchemy of Transformational Breathwork and the joy of harmony singing.
This is a space for self-exploration, deep relaxation AND nervous system healing. A sacred pause for your mind, body, and spirit. A safe haven to rest, reset, and reconnect with the essence of you.
Our retreats offer the truest sense of sanctuary – a deeply nurturing, fully immersive weekend designed to leave you feeling replenished, re-nourished, and re-inspired.
The combination of IFS inspired Breathwork and singing, and the interweaving of both modalities throughout the weekend, offers a deeply healing, uniquely magical way to explore and experience all the ebbs and flows of our emotional landscape amidst the support and community of other like-hearted souls.
SOBRIETY CARDS
When working with me you are working with someone who ‘gets it’. With a history of substance addiction, self-harm, depression and developmental trauma, I have known suffering.
My life experiences and personal healing journey have gifted me a unique insight into the shared woundedness and astounding brilliance of our humanity. I have personally experienced and witnessed in others our miraculous capacity to heal ourselves.
Ever in awe of this capacity to heal I created a collection of greeting cards to celebrate sobriety milestones and mental health recovery. The artwork is all my own – imbued with an outpouring of love and whole-hearted gratitude for life.
Want to live with more peace, more ease, more flow?

A LOVE LETTER
To the rebels and the weirdos, the misfits and the black sheep, the outsiders and the lost, the disconnected and the disillusioned. I see you. I am you. I'm here for you.
May you find your own yellow brick road, to guide you home within yourself.
May you dissolve your dalliance with self-doubt and develop an unwavering trust with the whispers of your soul.
May you find ways to honour your truth, not the truth of others or the truth you think you should honour.
May you have the courage to be disliked, to release the shackles of other people’s expectations and approval.
May you boldly and bravely bend with the wind, feeling the fluidity and freedom of new ideas and new patterns.
May you experience the rainbow of human emotion free from shame, ‘shoulds’ and blame.
May you know your value, your inherent glory and your worth, beyond the accolades, the achievements and the praise.
May you embark on a love affair with your needs and feelings, tenderly unearthing their invitation for nurturance and attention.
May you feel anchored, rooted & supported in love, witnessed and appreciated for your rainbow and your shadow.
And may you know deeply in your heart that you are not alone.
