Nat’s review
I started my journey with Oli at the start of this year when I was at my absolute lowest. It was a daunting notion embarking on this path, but it was one that was desperately needed.
I'd been in traditional therapy for around 7 years on and off, and I just got to a point where I hit a brick wall. So when I came across the Sanctuary, I was instinctively intrigued by the way he works.
I enquired with no real expectations because I hadn't ever really thought about looking for a life coach before.
BUT it was the most precious decision I've ever made for myself. Like I said, it was nerve-wracking, but from the first voice note I received (and he loves a voice note!), I was at ease. Just the sound of Oli's voice puts you at ease.
The Zoom calls sound like they will be a lot of work, but those 3 hours honestly feel like 30 minutes. Oli listens to everything and in detail, often reminding me about things I'd said or picking up on the little comments that on the surface seem like nothing. This makes you feel so heard, and it's overwhelmingly lovely.
It was a 5 hour drive for me to the Sanctuary (now that I've been I can honestly say I'd drive any amount of time to get there!) So there was lots of time for the nerves to build up, but as soon as your greeted by this beautiful human being, they all go away! The food is amazing, the Sanctuary is true to its name, and the whole journey from start to finish is nothing but life changing.
After the retreat, we have had several catch ups, and Oli is there when you need an ear! He brings you back to earth and helps make sense of things. He's continued to gently guide me when I've needed it.
I am so grateful to the universe for this connection made. It truly came at the best possible time.
Thank you, Oli! You're truly a special person.
