Summary:
Octavia's therapeutic approach is rooted in a holistic and intersectional framework, emphasizing neurodiversity, ancestral and family trauma, and the interconnectedness of mind, body, and soul. This approach integrates elements of decolonization and deconstruction of limiting beliefs, guiding clients toward self-awareness and alignment across all aspects of consciousness. Octavia believes in relationships as tools for self-mastery and personal evolution, helping clients identify patterns that hinder growth while fostering resilience and emotional independence.
Through psychoeducation, Octavia equips clients with the knowledge to understand abstract concepts such as consciousness, alignment, and the interplay between science, spirituality, and religion. Narrative therapy is employed to explore clients’ life stories and empower them to rewrite narratives that better align with their values and goals. Motivational interviewing supports clients in recognizing readiness for change, while mindfulness practices are introduced to enhance self-awareness and cultivate intentionality.
Octavia creates a space for clients to reflect on their challenges and successes, encouraging them to break cycles of negativity and embrace personal growth. Her approach is compassionate, strengths-based, and adaptive, ensuring clients feel seen, heard, and supported as they navigate their unique journeys of healing and transformation.
Octavia’s Spiritual Practice.
Spiritual Practice & Teaching Philosophy
Octavia’s work is rooted in a braided spirituality — a weaving together of ancestral wisdom, mystical Christianity, African Traditional practices, and feminine archetypal healing. This unique integration reflects both her lineage and her lived experiences, allowing her to guide others into wholeness with depth and authenticity.
Core Beliefs
Ancestral Connection: Octavia honors her ancestors daily, recognizing them as guides, protectors, and witnesses to healing. Ancestral veneration grounds her work and reminds others that they are never alone on their journey.
African Spirituality: She embraces the Yoruba concept of Ori — the inner head, personal divinity, and chosen destiny. She also honors the Orisha Oshun, whose energy embodies sweetness, love, and abundance, helping us reclaim joy and self-worth.
Mystical Christianity: Octavia maintains an intimate relationship with Christ, not through dogma, but as a safe and loving masculine presence who anchors, protects, and balances her spiritual practice. For her, Christ embodies Divine Flow — alignment with truth, compassion, and authority without domination.
Feminine Archetypes & Shadow Work: She works with the energies of Lilith and Persephone. Lilith teaches sovereignty, sexual autonomy, and the reclamation of truth after generations of silencing. Persephone represents descent and rebirth, guiding us through grief and shadow into transformation. Together with Oshun, they form a trinity of feminine wisdom: sweetness, sovereignty, and rebirth.
Sacred Body & Spirit Integration: Octavia believes the body is a temple. Our scars, stories, and even pain are sacred. Healing involves not erasing who we are, but reclaiming strength, power, and confidence in our bodies, minds, and spirits.
What She Teaches
Octavia guides individuals and communities in:
Decolonizing healing by blending African and Indigenous wisdom with modern therapeutic practices.
Reclaiming sovereignty through shadow work, boundary setting, and ancestral healing.
Embodying divine balance by embracing both softness and power, joy and grief, light and shadow.
Living in Divine Flow, aligning with one’s Ori (destiny) and the rhythm of Spirit rather than striving from fear or shame.
Honoring the body as sacred, transforming shame into empowerment and reclaiming confidence as a spiritual practice.
A Unique Path
Octavia emphasizes that spiritual practice is not about “following the leader.” Every person must discover and honor the practices, deities, and guides that resonate with them most. Spirituality is deeply rooted in one’s own individual journey and unique experience. Her role is not to make others follow her path, but to help them find and strengthen their own.
In short, Octavia’s spirituality is not confined to one tradition — it is a woven path of liberation. She teaches others how to step into that same liberation: to reclaim their voice, heal their lineage, embody their power, and walk in the fullness of their divine truth.
