It all started when...
"I reached out to Avena for spiritual guidance during a very uncertain time in my marriage because of immigration issues. I am deeply grateful that Avena accompanied me on this journey. Avena helped me to befriend uncomfortable feelings, to be more self-accepting, and to cope more effectively during times of incredible uncertainty. I was thankful that I did not feel alone during those times with Avena's support. The inward reflection that Avena facilitated and our prayers together helped me to feel God's presence on my personal journey. I was empowered by Avena to let the holy spirit guide me and comfort me. In the end, my husband and I renewed our vows with Avena's blessings and the uncertainty has now faded away to new possibilities." Mark O.
"I found myself at the "mid-life" crossroads. To avoid a "crisis" I chose to embark upon this journey. Divine intervention led me to Avena. I'm grateful to her for providing a space where I can become vulnerable; a space of trust to express my thoughts, feelings, pain and suffering. Her listening created access to new ways of being and doing in life. Avena played a key role in my new sustaining revelation ... "Anchored in hope." Gladys S.
