"Trees are sanctuaries. Whoever knows how to speak to them, whoever knows how to listen to them, can learn the truth...they preach, undeterred by particulars, the ancient law of life." Herman Hesse

Cynthia J. Olivera
Cynthia J. Olivera is a Master Medicinal Aromatherapist and the Educational Director for Wisdom of the Earth. She teaches Wisdom of the Earth’s Level I and the Level II Advanced Aromatherapy Sacred retreats with Audre Gutierrez, both in-person and online.
Cynthia J. Olivera is an author, a World Spirit Guide™️, medicine woman, and sage, and teaches people to use medicinal essences to help shift old paradigms and patterns for dynamic self-healing. As the director and founder of the Inner Landscape Work™️, a movement/meditation process for self-empowerment, and the founder of The Sacred Practice of Anointing, she travels internationally to teach plant consciousness to the growing movement of medicinal aromatherapists, meditators, and sacred anointers. She is the author of The Book of Anointing, a spiritual journey into the rebellious art of sacred anointing. This art has been with us for thousands of years and has touched the hearts, minds, and souls of humanity. The anointers of the ancient world were wisdom-keepers and knew the power of essential oils to consecrate, heal, and awaken the soul. Cynthia Olivera’s book brings you into the sacred art of anointing as an Act of Love in the modern world.
Cynthia has a B.S. in Education from New York University and taught at the prestigious Bank Street School for Children in NYC. She developed a movement process called The OMM (The Olivera Method of Movement) and taught teachers throughout New England and the Tri-state area.
Cynthia Olivera is not your usual aromatherapist. Her lineage is built upon a generation of mother curanderos from the Caribbean and backward in time to the high kingdoms of Africa and the Mediterranean. She happily touts her Puerto Rican roots for her feisty, energetic, and friendly aura; but something deeper emerges when Cynthia plumbs hidden depths of knowledge with the "oils” for her clients and students.
