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.
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.
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.
