Nurturing Your Inner Sanctuary:

“A Healing Journey to Inner Fulfillment and Redefining the Meaning of 'Home' with Olla Abbas”

So stoked you stopped by!

Hey, I'm Olla

A travel junkie, inner explorer, and all about those soulful moments and connections.

Picture this: my story kicks off in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where I took my first breath and stumbled through those early life steps. Despite nearly two decades in this beautiful city, as a second-generation immigrant, I discovered early on that the only home I knew was not mine to call my own a temporary sanctuary.

So, I set off on a wild ride looking for a place to call home. Leaving behind the familiar walls of childhood for uncharted territories spanning over 30+ countries. Along the way, I built a global family, got schooled by some wise mentors, and even shared stages with the likes of Vishen Lakhiani, Michael Beckwith, and Lisa Nichols.

But let’s keep it real—it wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows. My pursuit? To shine a light on the down-low struggles immigrants face with identity and belonging.

My journey is still teaching me the ropes. From belly laughs to ugly cries, each city dished out lessons that led me to healing and slowly (but surely) crafting my ‘own’ inner sanctuary. Wanna dive deep into the full rollercoaster? Click on the link below, and let’s unravel the whole dang story!
