Regulate. Return. Resonate.

The next step isn’t more effort.

If you’re here, you’ve likely already done a lot of work and know yourself well. You can name the pattern, and perhaps even where it started. Yet it still hasn't changed.

Understanding alone rarely solves it. Patterns live in the body and those places that talking doesn’t always reach.

But a pattern can change. And when it does, your external life harmonizes around the internal shift. The story you inherited is not the one you are destined to live. This is where we work.

"In Depth Hypnosis, the significant relationship is between the client and her deeper self."

— Isa Gucciardi, PhD
Creator of Depth Hypnosis


In a published pilot study, eight sessions of Depth Hypnosis produced significant reductions in depression, anxiety, and PTSD symptoms, with measurable increases in well-being.


Meet Olive

Olive Evans is a Depth Hypnosis facilitator, yogi, writer, and mother devoted to helping women return to their own authority through expanded states of consciousness.

Her work reaches the root architecture where patterns were formed, and where they can actually change.

Olive works one-on-one with clients and facilitates intimate gatherings where women can slow down, listen inwardly, and become the steady center in their own lives.

Based in Atlanta, Olive lives with her daughters and partner—an artist and gardener—on a garden-filled sanctuary where presence, simplicity, and beauty are practiced daily (with varying degrees of success).

The Path

The work spirals, happening inside a single session, across a season, and across a life.

Regulate. Settle the nervous system, so what's underneath can be accessed.

Return. Move the pattern at its root, and come back home to yourself.

Resonate. Live, create, and love from a life in tune with your highest good.

Work with Olive

There are three doorways into the work. I work with a small number of women at a time.

A Connection

15 minutes · by phone or Zoom · no cost

A conversation to hear where you are and how this path might meet you.
If you are considering working together, begin here.

A Session

60 to 75 minutes · $250
Worldwide via Zoom or in-person Atlanta

When something is asking for closer attention than the daily mind can give it.

A focused, one-on-one session for whatever you’re sitting with; a place that needs attention, a feeling that keeps returning, or an intention you want supported. Many women begin here.

Together we track what's moving beneath the surface of what brought you in. Then we follow it, often through a relaxed natural altered state.

Women report leaving a single session feeling lighter and freer, sometimes from something they've carried for years.

One session can be complete in itself. For many, it is also where a longer journey begins.

A Season

13 weeks · 10 sessions · $2,500
Worldwide via Zoom or in-person Atlanta


You are not in a hurry here.

Much of what we carry has never had the attention or the room required for lasting transformation. A Season offers both.

Most women who come to a Season have already done years of inner work. They have the insight and they are ready for something to actually move. Here, what you've carried for years rises into view, loosens, and releases its hold.

We move at your pace. Between sessions, personalized rituals and recordings from my library support your expansion.

A Season is a devotion of time and of self. For the women who choose it, it can be the work that finally moves what therapy, courses, and years of trying could not.

Many women continue beyond the first ten sessions. I work with a small number of women at a time. If you would like to learn more, begin with A Connection.

In Her Words

A few minutes from Chandler Stroud, host of The Healing Heroes podcast, on her experience in a session.

Experience the Work

A guided hypno-meditation drawn from client sessions. To help regulate the nervous system and come back to the body.

  • “Through this work, I’ve learned to sit with my emotions without trying to fix or suppress them. They move through me, rise, soften, and I feel steadier than I have in years. Even after one week, old distractions and patterns lost their grip. I’m coming back to myself.

    Olive’s presence is rare—clear, attuned, and never intrusive. She asks the right questions, listens deeply, and helps you find your own truth without telling you who you are. There’s no agenda, no ego, just a steady guidance that helps you see what’s misaligned and reclaim your own sovereignty.”

    - Charvi P., India

  • “This practice has changed every part of my life. In the middle of a huge transition, I’ve found peace in places that once felt unsettling. My heart feels lighter, and I’m able to be present in my relationships and work in a way I couldn’t before. I’m craving connection, seeking knowledge, and feeling genuinely happy in my surroundings. Activities that once drained me now feel inviting. I’ve grown more confident in my meditation practice than ever.

    Olive is wise, gentle, nonjudgmental, and she guides you toward real growth. I’ve mended three important relationships, felt true forgiveness, found deep joy, and even watched my business grow since beginning this journey.”

    - Maria T., Georgia, USA

  • “Before working with Olive, my nervous system was perpetually maxed out. Any small disruption would tip me into overwhelm. Through this work, I’ve created an internal sanctuary, a deep well of calm that holds steady even in chaos.

    Just this morning, childcare fell through and I had a big presentation looming. In the past, it would have unraveled me. Instead, I felt a remarkable spaciousness. The anxiety that once defined my days has transformed into a quiet strength I never knew I had.”

    - Erin H., Virginia, USA

  • After the death of my father, I didn’t know exactly where to turn to start to look inward. By a chance meeting of Olive through a mutual friend, she opened me up to a whole other world of introspection and self exploration.

    Olive is kind, patient, and real. She makes you feel instantly comfortable, not only with her but also with your true self. I could not recommend her enough for anyone going through any life experience.”

    - Kim S., Georgia, USA

  • “I recently had a session with Olive, and she is so skilled at this work. We went in to tackle one thing and came upon something that made her want to pivot our approach. Instead, she cleared some energy I didn’t even realize I could release.

    I felt so aware the whole time and came out of it feeling different, lighter. That lightness, that openness, that vulnerability has stayed with me ever since our session. It feels like a weight has been lifted off my heart.

    I was really able to relax into the session and trust her. I trusted her and followed her, and it was incredible. I’m so grateful to her and am really looking forward to my next session.”

    - Chandler, S., Connecticut, USA

  • “I came to Olive at a time when my life felt like it was unraveling. I was meeting with two therapists, yet I still couldn’t quiet the panic that was waking me up at night. I was facing frightening, life-altering events.

    In our work, Olive helped me find calmness and acceptance. The goal was never to “fix” everything, but to help me become the steady center in my own life. Her guidance stays with me, and I use what I learned from her every single day. She helped me access parts of myself that had been waiting to support me. “

    - Emily S., Georgia, USA

  • "Before working with Olive, I hadn’t slept through the night in three years. My nervous system was on high alert, I felt ungrounded, and I couldn’t access rest or peace no matter what I tried.

    After just one session of Depth Hypnosis, I finally dropped back into my body and slept soundly through the night. Since then, my nervous system has calmed, and I’ve started to feel safe and at ease in ways I hadn’t for years. I’m even experiencing pleasurable emotions and sensations again.

    The clarity and calm I have now is life-changing. I’ve since continued to see Olive, her work came at exactly the right time, and I’m so grateful."

    - Lee S., Spain

The Foundation

Olive's practice is rooted in Depth Hypnosis, a spiritual counseling model developed by Isa Gucciardi, PhD. It integrates principles from transpersonal psychology, Buddhist psychology, Applied Shamanism™, and Integrated Energy Medicine.

No prior experience, belief, or familiarity with these frameworks is required for the work to be beneficial. Meaningful change can happen without having to discuss past experiences in detail.

Learn more about Depth Hypnosis here.

Depth hypnosis is highly effective at working with a variety of issues:

  • Trusting your own intuition again

  • Spiritual growth

  • Settling a dysregulated nervous system

  • Career changes and questions of direction

  • Relationship and family patterns

  • Anxiety, depression, and trauma

  • Inner child work

  • Grief and loss

  • Addiction and compulsion

  • Integrating plant medicine and spiritual openings

What this is and what this isn’t.

  • This is not talk therapy. Significant work can be done, often without having to discuss the past in great detail.

  • This is not coaching. It is tailored, attuned, and precise. There's no outside plan to push you through.

  • This is not energy healing alone, though the body and the biofield are part of every process.

  • This is not me healing you, this is me guiding you to heal yourself.

How I Came to This Work

I came to this work through my own profound experiences of healing. The decades since have been spent deepening what I discovered and finding the teachers and lineages that hold it.

My main training is in Depth Hypnosis, through The Foundation of the Sacred Stream under Isa Gucciardi, PhD. I'm continuing with Advanced Applied Shamanism™ and Integrated Energy Medicine, with ordination as a spiritual counselor through the Sacred Stream still ahead. Before that: Hatha yoga under Neda Draupadi Honarvar, extensive training in the Shambhala tradition, trauma-informed training in the work of Peter Levine, and expanded states of consciousness at The Monroe Institute.

I am grateful for my teachers.
