Ava Dasya’s approach to transforming trauma is to use the most progressive, brain-body, neuro-relational, and neuro-spiritual trauma therapies that access unhealed, unresolved, and unintegrated trauma lodged in the primitive part of our brains. These traumas are identified, discharged, and processed from the bottom up neuro-somatically.

Ava Dasya has experienced first-hand the impressive transformative healing of trauma therapies, such as: Brainspotting, Jungian Depth Shadow & Parts Work, and Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness. Ava Dasya’s mission is to offer her clinical skills and innate spiritual gifts to others, so they, too, can transform their lived traumas and revision their life with new meaning and purpose. She wholeheartedly believes transformative healing unfolds from the inside out and gives birth to a spiritually grounded portal for becoming one’s authentic self.
