I’m olivia –

threshold bearer,  wisdom keeper, magdalene priestess, and somatic practitioner of over a decade. My work supports rebellious mystics and sovereign spiritualists ready to courageously integrate your shadows and honor your unique gnosis — the knowing that lives within. . 

I help vibrant witches and scholars of the heart develop deep irreverence for dogmatic systems of oppression, embody resilient devotion, and tend to the calls of your wild sacred hearts. Together we’ll meet all parts — ego, soul, soma — with a radical love that collapses time and transforms lineages. 

When I’m offline, I can be found dancing my heart out, crying at the movies, getting lost in bookshops and leading pilgrimages to secret caves in the south of france. I’m the oldest of four siblings, a voracious reader, a passionate friend, and devoted plant parent. 

My story:

In 2019, while working a trendy ad-tech job in NYC, i randomly (or maybe, fated-ly) downloaded a copy of mary magdalene revealed by meggan watterson. over the next few years, I dove deep into the magdalene teachings, initiated as a magdalene priestess, and trained as a yoga teacher and a coach with a focus on somatic trauma resolution.

in 2021, i began my professional work as a magdalene priestess, helping hundreds of women and femmes in their somatic and energetic healing journeys, training dozens of psychics and priestesses, giving countless professional divination readings, and helping thousands of people connect more deeply to the truth of mary magdalene through social media, substack, and my podcast, the walk of the magdalene.
