“Thank you for being gentle and welcoming to everyone.”
„Your talks were beautiful, grounding, thought provoking and set the foundation for the meditation practices we did. The way you guide meditations is very powerful and grounding and it honors everyone’s unique experiences during the practice. You also created a safe space for everyone to share and feel supported, which created a beautiful sense of community and connection.“
“I liked the combination of teaching and practice. You have a calm and relaxed manner that is infectious and immediately slows life down!”
“Delivering relevant evidence-based insights in a powerful way. Everything was clear, relevant, engaging. Your personal experiences and stories were great and inspiring. Your meditation guidance was excellent and your voice so soothing.”

„The way she leads the meditations is very grounding, honoring each individual’s unique experience during the practice. It is combined with relevant evidence-based insights in a powerful way. Everything was clear, relevant, and engaging. I just had the opportunity to attend one of her 1-day workshops this spring and found it to be very empowering. It also expanded my sound meditation practices in a most beneficial way.“ Miriam Burger, Medical Doctor & Sound Meditation Practitioner.

Olga started meditating at the same time as conducting scientific research on meditation in 2007/2008. Since then, Olga has a stable meditation practice, including regular silent retreats of up to 6 weeks. The meditation teachers who most influenced her are Joseph Goldstein, Sharon Salzberg, Tara Brach, Jack Kornfield, Guy Armstrong, Carol Wilson, Catherine Felder, and Rio Ellett. Olga is immensely grateful to be part of flourishing and supportive communities of fellow practitioners and meditation teachers.
Olga’s scientific research has revealed that meditation training can have a positive impact on emotional well-being, brain plasticity, healthy ageing, the promotion of prosocial behaviour and conflict resolution. At the same time, both the science and experience point to the limits of meditation practice – it is not for everyone at every time.
To share meditation practices as a teacher, Olga took the 2 year mindfulness meditation teacher certification program with Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach at the Greater Good Science Center at the University of California at Berkeley, USA. She has been teaching meditation since 2021, including 4 week to 3-month courses, day-long retreats, and weekly drop-ins. Olga has been teaching meditation courses within institutions, companies, and to the general public in Germany, France, Turkey, Belgium, and Switzerland.
