"Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate." -Carl G. Jung
So often, the real barrier to healing isn't a lack of intelligence but a misunderstanding of how to apply our sound judgement and reasoning. Many people live their lives unaware that they aren't accessing these deeper levels of discernment and intuition. Physical discomfort, trauma, and unprocessed experiences on a physical, mental, or emotional level can cloud our sound judgement and resoning, making it difficult to live in harmony with our bodies and in alignment with nature.
What Ava believes in is taking the slow approach to bodywork and lifestyle adjustments so that her clients have the opportunity to come back online organically and reconnect with their own innate capacity to digest their life.
