About

I have been a practitioner in the holistic wellbeing space for several years now. After graduating from Durham University with a BA in Anthropology, I decided to further my studies at the Institute of Optimum Nutrition studying Nutritional and Lifestyle Therapies. I am now also qualified as a Reiki practitioner, a Massage Therapist and I run mindfulness workshops, where I am passionate about providing spaces where people can slow down, take a breath and reconnect their body and mind.

My own journey of reclaiming my emotional, mental and physical health inspires me to want to share my knowledge and empower others to do the same.

Running a mobile clinic, I work in North London and within a 3-4 mile radius of NW11, delivering bespoke wellness treatments to my clients in the comfort of their own home.

Where does the mobile clinic operate?

LivWell is a mobile clinic working within a 3-4 mile radius of NW11. This includes Highgate, Hampstead, East Finchley, Golders Green, Primrose Hill, Regents Park, Finsbury Park, Belsize Park & Archway. If you would like an appointment outside this radius surcharges may apply. Additional charges will also be made if there are parking fees. If there are parking restrictions please inform Olivia the day before and give precise instructions on where to park please.

How do I pay?

Payment will be due at the end of the session, and received in either cash, bank transfer or card.

What is LivWell’s cancellation policy?

100% charge will apply if a treatment is cancelled within 24 hours. Discretion will be exercised in the case of unforeseen circumstances.

How do I prepare for the session?

It is advisable to refrain from consuming a large meal, caffeine, alcohol or non-prescription medication close to the treatment.

With the mobile service, you will need to provide two towels for a massage treatment, or a blanket for the Reiki, and a quiet, private room for maximum benefit.

For a massage session, you will be required to remove your outer clothing and jewellery, leaving your underwear on. You will be covered by towels during the treatment and with only the area of the body part being treated exposed. As your comfort is of most importance, if you have any questions or concerns please do discuss with me prior to the treatment or booking.
