About the coach
Olivia discovered climbing during a summer trip to the mountains and quickly fell in love with the mix of movement and focus it offers. What began as a personal passion evolved into a career focused on teaching others. At Cairn, Olivia leads beginner lessons, youth programs, and family sessions. She has a natural ability to make nervous first-timers feel relaxed within minutes. Her sessions are structured, encouraging, and always safety-focused. She believes the best learning happens when people feel supported and understood.
