Ava

I’m Ava, founder of Violets in Bloom. I’m Behavioral wellness coach helping people reconnect with their minds, bodies and spirits through modalities like sound healing, and mindfulness meditation. My work is deeply shaped by growing up feeling like an outsider, which led me to create spaces where people—especially women—can feel seen, supported, and safe to just be themselves.

Moneek

I'm convinced that I was born with a paintbrush in my hand and that my first scribble was actually a paint splash. My mission is to create spaces where people can slow down, breathe, and create without pressure.
