Guidance for Conscious Living

Depth Hypnosis™ | Integrated Energy Medicine

Meet Olive

Olive Evans guides women to return to their inner wisdom for personal power, healing, and transformation using the modalities of Depth Hypnosis™, Integrated Energy Medicine, and Hatha Yoga. 

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).

“
In Depth Hypnosis, the significant relationship is between the client and her deeper self.”
— Isa Gucciardi, PhD, Creator of Depth Hypnosis

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

Work with Olive

Guidance for conscious living using the modalities of Depth Hypnosis, Integrated Energy Medicine, and Hatha Yoga. Rooted in the belief that what's happening in our outer world is a direct reflection of what's happening in our inner world, these sessions help you access your inner wisdom for healing and transformation.

Many of us have learned, over time, to look outside ourselves for answers. This is the way back to your deep inner knowing and personal power. Your Inner Authority.

Sessions are personalized and highly attuned to what your system needs. You can bring what's challenging you and what you're reaching for. The work meets the root of presenting problems, often without having to discuss them in detail.

  • 15 minutes · by phone or Zoom · no cost

    A first conversation, to learn how this work might support you.

  • One session can stand on its own. It can also be the beginning of a longer arc. To begin, start with a Connection Call. I work with a small number of women at a time.

  • JOURNEYS FOR INNER GUIDANCE

    Guided group experiences in focused states of awareness
    $75 · 60 minutes · 15 spots · Zoom

    The world is so noisy these days that it can overpower our inner wisdom.

    The result is that we have lost touch with the part of us that always has our back. These journeys are designed to return us to that part. 

    We do this through an interactive meditation in the theta brainwave state, a state we pass through all the time: on the way to sleep, on a long drive, or perhaps in a daydream. Here we access it with the intention to come back home to ourselves.

    When we gather in a group with a shared intention, that intention becomes magnified. So all you have to do is choose a journey and show up. I'll be there to guide you.

  • “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

  • “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

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

  • “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

  • “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 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 Foundations

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

    The rigorous, multi-year training holds practitioners to the highest ethical and professional standards. In a pilot study published in The Journal of Regression Therapy, eight sessions of Depth Hypnosis produced significant reductions in depression, anxiety, and PTSD symptoms, with measurable increases in well-being.

    Depth Hypnosis is highly effective at addressing a variety of issues:

    • Deepening self-trust and intuition

    • Settling a dysregulated nervous system

    • Career changes and questions of direction

    • Relationship and family patterns

    • Anxiety, depression, and trauma

    • Inner child work and parts integration

    • Grief and loss

    • Addiction and compulsion

    • Integrating plant medicine and spiritual emergence

    Altered-state sessions happen with the client's full consent and active participation. The work is trauma informed, and no prior experience or belief is required.

    What this is and what this isn’t:

    • This is not talk therapy. Significant work can be done, often without having much discussion.

    • This is not a program. It is tailored and attuned precisely to you.

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

  • Integrated Energy Medicine is most often helpful for women dealing with physical symptoms that don't have a clear explanation, those recovering from illness or loss, or those who feel worn down or disconnected.

    Integrated Energy Medicine works with the subtle energy field that underlies and organizes the emotional, mental, and physical bodies. This is the same field traditions across cultures have mapped for centuries through systems like the chakras. Physical, emotional, and mental patterns often have a corresponding pattern in this field, and working directly with the field can support change that talk or physical treatment alone doesn't reach.

    Sessions may include energetic clearing and rebalancing, work with sound, light, and flower essences. Integrated Energy Medicine is a foundational element within all sessions I offer and can also be received on its own, in person or over Zoom.

    I hold advanced training in Integrated Energy Medicine through the Foundation of the Sacred Stream, an intensive, experiential course of study in these subtle systems.

  • Yogic movement and breath is most helpful for women whose systems are so used to holding and doing that arriving in the body takes a deliberate, gentle route.

    Slow, breath-led movement gives the mind something simple to follow, and in that simplicity the nervous system starts to settle. Breath becomes the through-line that carries you from thinking down into feeling, and eventually into the quieter layer beneath both.

    In session this might look like a few grounding postures, breath paired with movement to release tension held in the body, or breathwork alone when stillness is what's called for. None of it requires flexibility or prior yoga experience.

    Movement and breath work is drawn from the hatha yoga tradition, through certification under Neda Draupadi Honarvar, along with further training in pranayama.

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 to yourself.

Resonate. Live and create in tune with yourself. Inner and outer, in harmony.

How I Came to This Work

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

My primary training is in Depth Hypnosis™ and Integrated Energy Medicine, through The Foundation of the Sacred Stream under Isa Gucciardi, PhD. Before that: Hatha yoga under Neda Draupadi Honarvar, extensive training in the Shambhala tradition, and expanded states of consciousness at The Monroe Institute.

I am grateful for my teachers.
