He works on the entire energetic system, going straight to the root of the issue with one's aura, chakras, blood, organs, physical body, cellular level, DNA, gestational, generational, and karmic. As a result, his healing usually takes effect after one session rather than throughout a long period of time.
Niño’s teachings and energy activation sessions have profoundly impacted the lives of public figures like Nina Dobrev, Julianne Hough, Gwyneth Paltrow, Donna Karan, Demi Moore, and Gerard Butler personal development legends like Tony Robbins.
THE SPIRITUAL ACTIVATOR
Oliver Niño was born and raised in the Philippines by a Catholic family with supernatural gifts. His father channeled energy by using his tongue to communicate its sound frequency. His grandfather could channel the souls of dead relatives. And his mother would have premonitions in the form of dreams that would always come true. When he was seven, Oliver began having curious encounters too. Today, Oliver is on a fervent mission to teach others how to unblock their energy and identify, activate, and master their spiritual gifts. He has trained and certified healers from over 60 countries. Oliver Niño sat down with Sandie to share the extraordinary life events that led him to become a sacred geometry and energy activation expert, a thought leader, and a celebrity spiritual advisor.
OMTimes | August 2022
Sandie Sedgbeer: Tell us about your upbringing in Manila, the supernatural gifts your parents and grandfather had, and how that impacted you as a child. Oliver Niño: It was a very interesting childhood looking back. I grew up with a Catholic background, so you can't have anything to do with psychics and energy and all those different things.
