Hi, I'm Ava
I'm a Certified Life Coach, A Trauma-Informed Coach, Certified Polyvagal Practitioner, a Certified Facilitator of Access Consciousness and a student of IFS. With a Master’s Degree in Psychology and over a decade of experience "doing my own thing" (AKA running my own business), my journey has been deeply rooted in self-discovery, personal growth, and transformation.
From an early age, I was driven by a profound desire to understand and heal. My career began in traditional psychology, but as I grew, I realized that the conventional paths I was on didn’t fully resonate with what I knew should be possible. This insight led me to explore several alternative modalities and non-mainstream techniques in Psychology, where I found the tools that not only brought me deeper healing but also aligned more authentically with who I am and what I believe in.
My personal journey has been shaped by navigating challenging family dynamics, cPTSD, anxiety, panic attacks, and overcoming several health complications. Each challenge has been a catalyst for deeper understanding and has fueled my passion for presence, self-care, and self-honoring as the way to create my life and my business.
Through every experience, I’ve learned to embrace my unique journey and to trust in the process of growth and transformation. Today, my greatest passion is guiding others on their paths, helping them break free from what holds them back and step fully into the potential they’ve always held within themselves.
What truly fulfills me is seeing someone rediscover their true Self energy and start living in alignment with their deepest vision. This work is my passion, and it’s the reason behind everything I offer in this space.
If you’re feeling the call to reconnect with yourself, honor your natural rhythms, and pursue your goals with confidence and authenticity, I warmly invite you to work with me on this transformative journey. Together, we’ll help you create a life where you feel truly alive, vibrant, and proud of the person you’re becoming.
