Connecting body, spirit, and inner wisdom.
A touch-based approach to healing rooted in my ancestral practice of curanderismo.
I welcome you with deep respect and open arms.
Welcome to Sacred Touch, where healing is a journey of connection, compassion, and care. I'm Olivia, a professional touch therapist specializing in cuddle and rope therapy. I'm also a practitioner of curanderismo- a traditional healing practice rooted in Indigenous, African, and Spanish traditions. This tradition has been used by my family for generations to heal bodies, birth children, and tend to the vulnerable. These traditions combined with my 15 years of experience and education on violence, trauma, abuse, oppression, and approaches to healing uniquely equips me to support people on their healing journey.
​
I believe touch and movement are profound gateways for healing. Trauma often stays in the body long after the mind has made sense of it and the heart has accepted it. Through safe and consensual touch, we co-create new experiences based on trust, safety, and connection that regulate injured nervous systems and facilitates whole-person healing. I offer a safe, affirming, and nurturing environment as you do this profound work. Every part of the process is led by you.
What is Touch Therapy?
Touch therapy is the intentional use of safe, consensual, and non-sexual touch to support healing, stress relief, nervous system regulation,, and human connection. This healing practice is rootyed in understanding that healthy and platonic human connection is vital to our wellbeing. Touch therapy reconnects body, mind, and spirit through a variety of touch forms. Sessions are a nurturing space to experience comfort, grounding, relaxation, pleasure, and connection through cuddling, dance, hand holding, and other forms of contact. All at your own pace, guided by your needs and goals.
What is Curanderismo?
Curanderismo is a traditional healing practice rooted in Indigenous, African, and Spanish traditions. It weaves spiritual, physical, community, and emotional care through rituals, energy work, herbal remedies, prayer and incantation, guided visualization. These practices have been a part of my own family and cultural traditions for generations and are a key part of my own healing journey. With my ancestors' blessings, I integrate these practices into my approach to touch therapy.
