About

The Olive was established by Yasmin in 2019.

2026 Update

I focus on the peace and balance of the people I work with, whilst maximising the positive difference we can make in the world.


I started The Olive in 2019 as a way to use my skills, experience, and interests to help make life a little better for people in some way. Since then, I've done this by working with small social impact organisations, in a wonderful sector dedicated to this same purpose, and operating as a social enterprise to make support as accessible as possible. And I love it - long may it continue!


I'm excited to say that, as The Olive and I have both continued to evolve, my offer has developed, and I'm now branching out with more ways to meet my original purpose by working with people directly, in addition to my work with social impact orgs. I recently launched Blossom: personal coaching for those looking to make a change or move through a transition in life, and I'm thrilled to also be launching Re.Pose Retreats, for those looking to take some time out to reflect, reset and spend some nourishing time in beautiful places with beautiful souls. 


You can find out more about these 'offshoots' here, and learn more about my support for small social impact organisations here.


And if you'd like to chat about any of my work, I'd love to hear from you: Yasmin@the-olive.co.uk


I hope our paths cross soon!

WHY ‘THE OLIVE’?
Just like the organisations I work with, the simple olive is small and mighty, with huge potential! 

Yasmin [ˈyæz mɪn]
noun given name: from Persian “jasmine”

Jasmine [ˈdʒæz mɪn]
noun a genus of shrubs and vines in the olive family

The Olive offers a little nod to the roots of the organisation, bringing fresh life to an old nickname! 

The brand has evolved since 2019, with the Olive graphic now personified across LinkedIn and Instagram- follow to track Little Olive's many adventures!
