After being diagnosed with a degenerative autoimmune disease in 2014, Olivia Silveira became deeply passionate about holistic nutrition and natural healing as an alternative therapy to manage her symptoms. This passion led her to graduate from the Institute of Transformational Nutrition as a Certified Transformational Nutritionist and Autoimmune Coach. In 2016, she discovered Ascent and quickly became a dedicated client, experiencing firsthand the power of the body’s innate ability to heal. After years of being a client, she knew she wanted to be part of something bigger and took the leap to intern at Ascent. Her dedication and belief in the mission naturally led her to take on a full-time leadership role within The Ascent Collaborative. For over two years, she has played a pivotal role in shaping operations and elevating the center’s impact. While deeply committed to this work, she continues to explore her passion—one that may one day inspire her to open her own regeneration center on California’s Central Coast—while also sharing her knowledge as a consultant to wellness spaces worldwide.
