"I met with Oliver at a time in which I was feeling very ambivalent about my life. I had graduated from OCADU in 2013 and was in University for the second time. I was confused about what the next step in my life should be. I was not sure what to expect when meeting with Oliver as first and foremost he was my yoga teacher, but our session helped to validate the feelings that I had stirring within me. Oliver asked a lot questions about how I related to the decisions that I was making for myself in my life and the energetic effects of these decisions on my mind, body, and life. The question that stood out most to me and that I continually repeated to myself after our session was “could you use the energy that you are spending in school in a different place and have it effect your life more positively?” This question changed the way I related to my decision to be in University again and helped me to realize that I value my energy and youthful spirit and that I was allowing for school to drain me of this energy. My experience with Oliver was extremely valuable because he asked me the questions that I was afraid to ask myself, but also ones that I had not even considered could help me. Oliver was provocative in his approach to understanding my life. He allowed me to realize that I am the only person accountable for my decisions and to feel liberated by that fact as opposed to daunted by it. He reminded me that I already have the tools that I need in order to be successful. I left U of T a month after meeting with Oliver and since then have re-invested all of my studying energy into yoga, reading, and working on my spiritual health. All of that spiritual nourishment has helped me to find a dream job that gives me the opportunity to do what I love most which is to travel and spend time with people. Thank you Oliver for being the voice that I needed to hear!!"
