“To thine own Self be true”
- Shakespeare -
Hiya! Let me introduce myself…
I’m Olivia — human first (bold, often clumsy, occasionally brilliant, frequently figuring things out as I go). I’m endlessly curious about emotions, personal growth, acting, storytelling, communication, and that lifelong adventure of becoming a little more ME every day.
Somewhere along the way I also became an award-winning actress, a TedX speaker coach, filmmaker, musician… and a very proud mum!
My mission? To celebrate vulnerability, courage, and authenticity - on stage, on camera, and in the wonderfully messy moments of real life where we dare to show up as we truly are.
Public Speaking, Camera & Life Coaching
Speeches, interviews, selftapes or life throwing you a curveball… there’s always a way back to your authenticity. With depth, humour, and practical acting and vocal tools, my 1:1 sessions will help you feel prepared, confident, and even excited for your next moment in the spotlight!

"My TedX performance coach Olivia, gave me the confidence and strategies I needed...
when I was extremely anxious and struggling to remember my lines. Her expertise and guidance included relaxation exercises, breathing techniques, and grounding methods. She helped me go from having a script on paper to being more confident and bringing my story to life on stage.
Highly recommend!"

"Olivia’s way of working is very encouraging whilst also being graciously disarming...
Her techniques go straight to the heart of your approach which allow you to reflect and respond in the moment thus removing your personal barriers and help you to start improving your technique.”

Coming soon!
My journey in performing arts, theatre, and cinema…
has always been driven by a deep curiosity about self-growth, expression, and emotions. In 2010, I took my first acting course at the Actor’s Centre in Sydney, before studying Drama at the Alanus Hochschule für Kunst und Gesellschaft in Alfter (Bonn), graduating with a diploma in Dramatic Arts in 2016.
In 2017, I recorded my debut album Inspiration, exploring my musical expression and storytelling. Since then, I’ve continued to expand my artistic path, writing, producing, directing, and starring in the short film NARÚ in 2023, which earned the Best Actress award at the New York International Women’s Film Festival.
In 2022, I became a certified Mindvalley HoloBody coach, and I now combine my artistry, coaching, and a touch of my inner clown to help people show up fully, confidently, and authentically—on stage, in front of the camera, and in life itself.
