I'm Priestess Ava: Neo Tantra Teacher & Sensual Domme
I use tantric techniques and kinky creativity to cultivate an authentic, sensual connection with each one of my seekers. I’m known for my ability to find our common thread – to lead us into building spine-tingling chemistry and incredibly sexy, energetic firsts.
With over 10 years of experience, and thousands of sessions, I’ve discovered the most holistic and efficient ways to awaken you to your full pleasure potential. Sensual pleasure and emotional intimacy are your birthright, but so few take the time to learn how to optimize them. Let me help you get out of your own way, shed your sexual shame and learn how to become more sensual, authentic and liberated.
The practices of Neo and Classical Tantra are vast, and can be confusing for those beginning their exploration. I take great joy in sharing the life-changing wisdom and practices these paths have brought to my life. I offer both in-person and online sessions, coaching, and private retreats worldwide.

Neo Tantra:
A Sensual Healing Experience…
My knowledge of the tantric approach was limited to what I had read of it. A couple of sessions later, I’m reevaluating my entire concept of the body, intimacy, and sensuality. My first reaction was that it was like being inebriated without the hangover. But it’s deeper than that, it’s truly healing. -Eddie
Neo Tantra: Pleasure So Intense, It's Life Changing
A Taste of Neo Tantra
Neo Tantra is a practice, much like yoga is. It is not something I can “do to you.” While this session includes sensual massage, it also requires 30 mins of learning about how to use breath, sound, and energy to work toward full body and sacred spot orgasms, as well as ejaculatory mastery and deeper intimacy…Read more

Bound in Bliss Intro to Kink
While Neo Tantra emphasizes the meditative aspects of sensuality, Kink and BDSM evoke the erotic mind and its latent desires, fetishes, fears and taboos. What they have in common are surrender, sensation and presence. This session is an introduction to sensation and impact play, as well as light bondage and domination…Read more

Is Tantra Right for You?
Tantra may not be what you think it is. I was very blessed to be introduced to both Neo Tantra and Classical Tantra at the same time. After over 10 years of deep practice and thousands of clients, I have a nuanced understanding of how the two are distinct, where they merge, and how they can complement one another to bring about huge personal growth, both inside and outside of the bedroom.

Testimonials
My confidence and client results increased from the day I began training with Ava as my mentor. She offered me a flexible structure that takes the last-minute questions and nerves out of each appointment so I can focus entirely on my client as an individual. Obviously this creates a calm, capable container for a transformative session. Because of Ava’s guidance I now take on an extra session or two a week with no extra personal drain. The patterns she cooked up with me are that supportive to my sustainability as a healer.
I feel incredibly lucky to have had the opportunity to apprentice with Ava. I would not be anywhere near the level of professional and sophisticated of a Dakini as I am today without the uniqueness of her teaching style and the huge loving support she gave me every step of the way.
What Ava offers is the ability to learn modern and classical tantra alongside the actual practice of going into session space with real clients. This rare teaching style is vital and yet surprisingly almost nonexistent in this field. Yet, it is exactly the magic that creates a real, embodied Dakini in her power and mastery.
Ava’s teaching penetrates deep and it does not take long before you are living, breathing and exuding the essence of tantra in and out of session space. During my apprenticeship with Ava she quickly took me from being a beginner into tantric mastery.
As a coach she truly understands me and has given me clear reflections of the priestess I am and used that to help me craft my unique offering with writing coaching and copy editing.
Ava has been a great catalyst for me to upgrade my practice. While I had been a Sacred Intimate for over a decade prior to collaborating with her, I still did not have a website, and was only advertising in two places. She was an incredibly strong ally in creating a website, introducing me to multiple advertising modalities, revamping my pricing structure, and creating better screening practices to ensure safer experiences with clients. Ava is a wise business woman and a compassionate coach, and I highly recommend any practitioner – new or seasoned – to work with her, to establish or revitalize their practice.
Ava’s passion for the dark power of the feminine – to heal, to challenge, to change the world – runs deep. She’s a sorceress, a priestess, a tantrika with great love in her heart and great magic in her body. Skilled in the sexual arts, she has a gift for embodying Ma. Men learn and women melt in her arms. In her sessions and groups, she brings the Goddess back to life. Jai Ma!
We were looking for a practice to deepen our spiritual and physical connection and were really inspired when we came across Ava in our research of Tantra. We are blessed to have a really wonderful partnership and are excited to know how much deeper it can get by bringing Tantra into our lives.Working with her is as if you had known her forever. She has an acute intuition to craft an experience that will be transformative, and really delicious. She was an incredible guide during the couple’s session, leading us from breathing to meditation to being present and how to give and receive.
Plus she was very good at teaching me as the giving partner how to give pleasure through yoni massage so that we can practice on our own.
As the receiving partner it was incredibly healing to be in the receptive position for my yoni massage, and to open up to allow myself to take up space and feel an incredible vibration in my body that I have never experienced before.
It was so liberating to let all expectations and inhibitions go and connect into ourselves and with each other through our breath and sensual touch. It is amazing to feel your senses so alive! We’re grateful to now have these practices that we can incorporate into our daily lives. This has redefined for us our experience of sensual intimacy.
Ava is incredible at what she does. There is such deep wisdom, embodiment, and understanding of Tantra and sexual healing behind everything she does. From breathing, to sounding, to feeling, to moving – every moment receiving from her is a divine masterpiece. In the 2 sessions I’ve received from her, I was able to move through a tremendous amount of grief, rage and stuckness and to return to an ecstatic unencumbered flow of energy and orgasm in my body. At the end I cried and thanked her for giving me the gift of returning home to myself. Give yourself the gift of Ava you will be so grateful you did.
When I have felt like no one else could possibly accept me in my pain, Ava always knew how to meet me with big compassion and often some really good jokes that cut through the heaviness. She isn’t afraid of the nitty gritty of human life, and she delights in supporting others to be curious and accepting, and increasingly aware of their wounding patterns, kinks, fears and desires.
Ava’s touch and care are intuitive and deep. I was able to trust, surrender and move into “timeless time” in the safe and beautiful container that she creates for her work. I felt connected, seen and heard during the session, and refreshed, enlivened – and more in touch with my own body afterwards.
After I got work done by a professional to help bring pleasure and awareness to my prostate, I couldn’t believe what I was missing. I had experimented before with partners but having someone who really knew what they were doing show me how I could maximize my pleasure and orgasm was totally game-changing. Now I feel like I have a secret advantage on everyone who hasn’t discovered it. If I could send every man I know to Ava I would. She is not only an incredible, trained professional, but also she is someone who is passionate about helping men discover deeper ways to feel sexually alive in their bodies.
Working with Ava has been nothing short of special, powerful and life-changing. I contacted Ava for personal and spiritual reasons. I knew very little about Tantra in general or what Ava offered personally. I just knew it was time for some deep healing, and that is exactly what happened.
I’ve worked with Ava in person and via online meeting and in both cases I was completely satisfied with the support I received.
What is most impressive about working with Ava is her ability to listen carefully to my story in order to put together a supportive healing plan that works best for me. She seems to pull from a large background of knowledge, and each strategy or explanation she gives me is direct and powerful yet supportive and nurturing. She saw the story pattern behind my words and was able to link current issues I was having to deeper long-standing stress patterning. Our conversations were geared toward me as an individual rather than generalizations. It was clear right away that she knew what needed to happen to help me, and she had a plan to do so.
One of the most powerful moments came when she touched three specific areas on my torso, one right after the other, explaining the energetic linkage between these areas and how they must be relaxed and released. The three areas she highlighted were the three most troublesome parts of my body and ones I had not mentioned to her before.
My one-on-one time with her was very valuable. The environment she provides is safe and supportive. By mixing professionalism with spirituality I immediately felt open to share my thoughts and feelings as well as put into action her recommendations for growth. Simply put she cares about helping people and knows how to do so with confidence and love. I highly recommend Ava to anyone looking for spiritual growth. You will be satisfied with your evolution.
I am ever so grateful for the unconditional support Ava has given me… for pushing me, gently & lovingly and with playfulness, to acknowledge and express the divine feminine within me. I went into the session with her expecting a ‘treat’ and came out of it with a full-on course!! I also went in with some fear and trepidation, and came out feeling softer and more empowered. She created such a safe, comfortable and accepting space, that I really had to laugh at myself for ever feeling any fear about having a session with her. I look forward to continuing on this path with Ava — my dear friend, teacher, and sister.
I was fortunate enough to receive a Yoni mapping session from Ava during the germination of my spiritual journey. From the onset of dipping my toes into the lagoon that is Tantra, I soon found myself diving head first into the ocean of my newfound spirituality. This feat could not have been accomplished without my session with Ava and her ability to guide me through the self doubt and religious static that prevented my inner goddess from bursting through. She created a beautiful, sacred and most of all safe space for me to surrender and allow for exploration of uncharted territory in order to grasp further depths of myself. And in that space I felt. I remembered. I answered. I cried. I loved. I let go. I healed. I connected.
With Ava’s healing hands and innate sense of self, I couldn’t have asked for a better guide to take me through one of the most important journeys I have taken in my life thus far. I thank her for the being the catalyst to my own truth and inner peace. Most of all, I thank my Yoni, whose functions I knew were multi-purposed, but never would I have thought in a million years to be a medium for my spiritual growth.
Having had the pleasure of experiencing multiple therapeutic sessions with Ava, I can unabashedly declare that she has enabled me to peel and neutralize layers of unproven assumptions about myself, surroundings and career. In a short time, Ava’s poignant and gentle insight has proven far more valuable than traditional therapy ever has.
She’s one of the most expressive sensualists I know and I know A LOT of them!
Ava made an amazingly comfortable space and communicated very clearly what the intention and boundaries were. Once they were established, I felt completely safe to explore. Then I felt like I was discovering the new world! I give Ava an A+ for impeccable communications as well as for being so sensual and sexy. I highly recommend her whether you are experienced or a newbie.
The work I have received from Priestess Ava has repeatedly been a deeply healing experience. She brought a fearless clarity to her sessions making it a safe space for me to allow for old wounding to be cleared out and through that find the pleasure for being incarnated again. She held impeccable boundaries that gave me permission to truly let go, feel my own sensuality and simultaneously feel nurtured and honored as a man. Her sensual embodied presence is a great gift to receive and continues to be an invitation to dive deeper into my own humanness.
It’s really hard to articulate how much the sessions opened me up and quenched my long unrealized hunger for a fiery, focused and flowing love – an authentic and timeless love – a slow, delicious, warm, wet love. My time with you was so special and made me understand that there are equally passionate, loving and hungry souls who share the same sacred language I keep deep within me and wait to share with in-the-know and fire-filled humans.
Before I met Ava, my knowledge of the tantric approach was limited to what I had read of it. A couple of sessions later, I’m reevaluating my entire concept of the body, intimacy, and sensuality. My first reaction was that it was like being inebriated without any of the unhealthy calories and without a hangover. But it’s deeper than that, it’s truly healing and I regret that I’m not close enough to her to be a regular student. Were that the case, I am certain this Goddess would not just wade with me into the blissful lagoon she plays in, but help me swim even further out to sea.

Imagine every cell in your body vibrating at the pace of love. Pure presence, silky skin, the unmistakable mastery of tantric touch… put yourself in the hands of the divine feminine, and you will be transformed.
