Olivia Holtman

Olivia Holtman has a habit of showing up wherever people are exploring what it means to feel human - from NHS clinics to yoga mats and muddy festival fields. She has worked as a therapist on a Phase 3 ketamine trial and is now completing her Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. Her research explores the therapeutic potential of mystical experiences within altered states of consciousness, with a particular focus on addiction and depression. Olivia's work nudges at the edges of tradition, seeking fresh ways to bridge science and spirituality. Since training as a yoga teacher in 2016, she has facilitated psychedelic integration groups, managed festival welfare, and led yoga and breathwork practices. Her work brings together psychology, embodiment, and community, creating spaces where people can reconnect with themselves, each other, and the wisdom of nature.
