Olivia Wade
Founder of The Current ● Creator of The Pattern Shift Method ● Private Coaching & Workshops
Olivia Wade is the founder of The Current and creator of The Pattern Shift, a transformational body of work devoted to pattern disruption, radical responsibility, relational intelligence, and conscious change.
Her work exists at the intersection of psychology, somatics, nervous system regulation, spirituality, and honest human connection. After years of working with clients across intimacy, trauma, relationships, embodiment, and self-sabotage, Olivia began developing a methodology centered around one core realization: awareness alone does not change patterns. Conscious interruption does.
A Trauma-Informed Coach, Board-Certified Clinical Sexologist, Reiki Master, and HeartMath® Certified Coach, Olivia’s approach blends psychological precision with emotional depth and grounded spiritual inquiry. Her work draws from somatic practices, relational dynamics, nervous system regulation, mindfulness, breathwork, and embodied self-awareness, while remaining deeply practical and participatory.
The Current was created for intelligent, self-aware people who have already “done the work” but continue to find themselves repeating the same relational, emotional, and behavioral patterns. Rather than reinforcing identity through endless processing, Olivia’s work focuses on helping clients recognize the unconscious ways they participate in their own suffering, disconnection, self-abandonment, and stagnation, and teaching them how to consciously create different outcomes.
Through immersive group experiences, workshops, and select private mentorship, Olivia guides people through the often uncomfortable but transformative process of becoming radically honest with themselves, their relationships, and the lives they are creating.
Her work is known for being deeply participatory, emotionally intelligent, psychologically nuanced, spiritually open, and uncommonly honest.
You can learn more about her work and apply for private coaching or immersive workshops below. Please note that Olivia now only takes a select number of 1:1 clients at a time and space is very limited.
Sandy Cleary
Usui Reiki Master-level Practitioner and Teacher
After a decades-long career in the performing arts as a manager, producer, and teacher – alongside single-parenting her two daughters – Sandy experienced severe burnout and associated chronic health issues. During this time, she was introduced to Reiki treatment in a mainstream, therapeutic setting. Receiving Reiki regularly turned out to be the key to her physical, emotional, and energetic restoration.
Sandy began her Reiki studies with Dr. Pamela Youngquist and received her certification as a First Degree Reiki Practitioner in 2017. In 2019, when she became the primary caretaker for her daughter battling life-threatening neurological Lyme Disease, she decided to deepen her commitment to Reiki in order to help. During that battle, her daughter also became a practitioner and together, in 2021, they opened Back to Heart Center and began public practice. In 2023, Sandy began training with renowned Reiki scholar, author, and Reiki shihan (master-level teacher) Nicholas Pearson, receiving her Master/Teacher certification. Sandy is a perpetual student, passionate teacher, and devoted practitioner of the system of Usui Reiki.
REIKI TRAINING & CLASSES: As a Reiki teacher, Sandy offers both group and private courses in the study and application of the Usui system of Reiki. Classes offer initiation (also known as attunement) into the system and lineage of Usui Reiki and ongoing mentorship through the system’s progressive levels.
Sandy is currently welcoming students for Reiki Level 1, Shoden (the entry teachings) on a rolling basis. She also offers support to practitioners from any Reiki lineage seeking to reinvigorate, deepen, or further their Reiki practice and study.
