Olivia Ramirez Smith Will Sign A Body of Evidence at Windmill Winery in Florence on February 13

Olivia Ramirez Smith, who compiled The Mother Earth Effect: A Body of Evidence.

Olivia Ramirez Smith will sign copies of her new book, The Mother Earth Effect: A Body of Evidence, on Saturday, February 13, 2027, from 2:00 to 6:00 PM at the Windmill Winery in Florence, Arizona.

The afternoon brings the two-time best-selling author close to where she started. Olivia Ramirez Smith was born in Coolidge, a short drive from Florence.

The book reaches Amazon and other fine retailers on Sunday, January 24, 2027. The Florence signing comes three weeks later, which gives readers time to finish it before they meet the woman who compiled it.

Launch day has its own event. On January 24 she will sign copies alongside her contributors at Colair Beauty Lounge & Med Spa in Gilbert, Arizona, at a signing hosted by contributor Rich Ganley. Florence is the second stop.

A Body of Evidence, subtitled Stories, Science, and the Transformative Power of Grounding, marks a turn in her work. Olivia Ramirez Smith has spent a career in rooms full of women. This book collects men: physicians, scientists, athletes, entrepreneurs, military veterans, first responders, and fathers.

Twenty of them are named on the cover, among them Dr. Robert Kiltz, Leith States, MD, Gaetan Chevalier, PhD, Joshua Fields Millburn, Troy Casey, David Kirk, and Rich Ganley. Their professions share almost nothing. Their accounts share a pattern: pain carried for years without reporting it, sleep given up as a cost of the work, and a long habit of pushing through.

Readers of her earlier books will recognize that pattern. For twenty years at New Image and J. Michaels, the med spa she opened in Victorville, California, in 1999, she heard women describe their lives while she worked, and she learned to hear the word fine as a missing piece of information. The men in the new book use different words to the same effect.

Her training taught her what to listen for. Olivia Ramirez Smith is a Master Neurolinguistic Practitioner (NLP) and a certified Mental and Emotional Release (MER) specialist, and both disciplines deal in the instructions a person follows without examining them. I will rest when this is done. I do not have time to hurt. Several of the men in the book have lived by lines like those since their early twenties.

Grounding is the practice the book circles. Known around the world as The Earthing Ambassador, she advocates for direct contact between the body and the surface of the earth. Researchers studying the practice have reported effects on sleep, on markers associated with inflammation, on circulation, and on the settling of the nervous system.

She presents the men’s accounts as testimony from the people who lived them, never as results a reader should expect. The practice is not a treatment and does not replace a physician, and she says so in print and from wellness conference stages around the country.

The new title joins a shelf that has already reached a wide audience. The Mother Earth Effect, a number one best-seller with a foreword by Mariel Hemingway, carries twenty-one contributing women alongside her. Sacred Spaces: Subtle Shifts for Mind, Body, and Home Transformation, the Colleen Avis-led collaboration that won the Books for Peace International Award, was her first number one. The film she co-produced, The Earthing Movie, featuring Clint Ober, Strategic Partner, has reached over 8 million global views.

A winery also suits the subject. Grapevines draw everything from the ground they stand in, and Olivia Ramirez Smith has spent years arguing that people lose something when they stop touching it.

For readers south of Phoenix, February 13 is a chance to spend a Saturday afternoon in Florence, bring a copy of the book, and talk with Olivia Ramirez Smith about the men who filled it.
