Hi, I’m Olivia Kabelin. I’m a journalist who’s obsessed with digging into what we feel and how we can feel better. 

​

As a journalist, I have covered the rise in demand for teletherapy amid the COVID-19 pandemic and have taken readers inside a meditation studio, a therapy dog session and a youth yoga class.

​

While working at Habitat for Humanity Halton-Mississauga, where I ran their daily blog, I wrote numerous stories about the cumulative impact of societal waste and Habitat’s environmental initiatives to address this issue.

​

My environmental journalism has covered the benefits of purchasing used furniture, the downside of Halloween pumpkin waste “doorstep-to-landfill horror show” and the mass-disposal of brand-new paper roll-up-the-rim cups by Tim Hortons.

​

I’m a Carleton journalism graduate, who has been trained as a multimedia journalist. I also have an honours degree in law.

​

Outside of journalism, I’m a yoga and hiking fanatic and a small business owner, where I create hand-painted and stitched canvases and provide dog sitting and daycare service in my neighbourhood.
