Olivia Lehman

Olivia Lehman (she/hers) is a therapist, retreat leader, and host of The Tampon Aisle Podcast. Her life’s work is helping people return to their bodies and trust the wisdom living there, so they can release what they’ve been carrying and step into lives that feel honest, vibrant, and connected. She grew up in Indiana, with Greek roots that still pull her back across the ocean, and she has always been curious about what moves underneath the stories we tell about ourselves. That curiosity led her into years of training in somatic healing. She became a yoga teacher and a doula, studied body psychotherapy, and earned her master’s in Counseling Psychology. Today she sees clients at her practice in a small studio on the docks of Seattle’s Lake Union.

In her own healing and alongside the people she works with, Olivia has seen how much of what we hold was set in place when we were very young. As children we learned which feelings were welcome and which ones to tuck away, and our bodies quietly kept the record: a breath that never fully drops, a voice held back, a tightness we stopped noticing long ago. When we give ourselves permission to move, make sound, shake, and express, those places begin to thaw. Energy that has been locked up for decades finds its way out, leaving more room to feel, to play, and to be fully ourselves.
