Hello, hello!
My name is Ava Leben Wentzel (she/they) and I am a bodyworker, wellness advisor, student, teacher, and guide in the Cleveland, Ohio area.
My middle name, Leben, is the German word for "life" or "to live." I enjoy using it for my practice because that is precicely what I wish to help you do well - live!
(How do I do this? Check out My Philosophy!)
I am a Certified Ayurvedic Wellness Advisor accredited by the Sarasvati Institute of Ayurvedic Yoga Therapy (2023) and a Licensed Massage Therapist under the American Massage Therapy Association (2018). I've completed training through the Upledger Institute for the Foundatitions of CS1: Assessment of the Central Nervous System and Fascia with Mabel Sharp, MS, PT, LMT, CST-D (November 11-14, 2021, 30 hours).

I live in Lakewood, Ohio with my partner and our cat Nancy. My idea of a good time is relaxing on the couch (or the porch if weather permits) with a good novel and a cup of jasmine tea.

Pretty cool you found me here.
