Currently, Olivia sees my 2 high school-aged children and my husband. Of note, as a former volleyball player and coach, she has insight into my volleyball-playing daughter and her body. Additionally, as an athlete and someone, who takes the time and energy to listen and hear, she has helped my son, a football player, strengthen and lengthen with an intentional child-centered strategy. My husband travels via airplane several times a month, and as a result, he has many areas of tightness. Although he doesn't recognize these areas as being tight, after his appointment, he does talk about what feels "better." I would strongly recommend her w/child of all ages, though I can only directly speak to my children specifically. She naturally engages and communicates with my kids in such a way that they smile and answer freely and often elaborate after the minor adjustment is made. Olivia starts off slowly and builds the intensity after reading your nonverbal cues and from memory, referencing your prior adjustments, and of course, through direct communication. She manipulates your body using several tools, including her hands. I seriously laughed the last time I saw her in response to her asking if she could adjust my neck. After I responded in the affirmative, she replied that I "fight" her, so she'll just use the "activator." She is very much "present" during your time and although some adjustments might be viewed as "routine" or "regular", she is making mental notes of the differences amongst the last sessions and thinks about future sessions. Olivia is a real person, who I enjoy and who I look forward to seeing each time. She has a disarming presence, a straight-forward nature, and a genuine concern for the health and well-being of her clients.
