Her work in the space has revolutionized the wellness conversation, helping to take what was once seen as a scattered talent marketplace into systems of organization, with true support for yogis and wellness professionals. I am so fortunate to have worked with Ava; her heart has always been in the work fully, and she prioritizes the most important balance in business: relationships first and results a close second. I’m excited for the world to learn from her and indulge in this read.” —Britton Darby, Global Marketing Lead for lululemon and Founder of earth + water wellbeing
