Avani Jaya Bhagavati Ma

Trained in native traditions from a young age, she expanded her knowledge globally, studying with 13 Mayan Shaman Elders in Guatemala and Brazilian Shaman Carlos Sauer.
Sauer, adopted by Nelson Turtle from the Southern Cheyenne tribe, passed the rights of "Water Pourer" to Avani, which authorized her to lead prayer ceremonies. A subsequent
experience during a Sundance ceremony in South Dakota led Chief Golden Light Eagle to have her bring the Star Altar back to Georgia and teach with his guidance elevating the ceremony's frequency.
Avani has facilitated at the Edgar Cayce Association for Research and Enlightenment and the Monroe Institutewhere she facilitated the Gateway Experience.
She has studied herbal medicine for 33 years, brain wave activity and entrainment for the last 21 years exploring the power of the mind and subconscious fields. She began traveling across the U.S and internationally speaking about how to transcend the boundaries of the mental barriers to reach your peak performance mentally, emotionally and physically since 2002. She co-founded Soul Medicine, Inc., a nonprofit supporting individuals with P.T.S.D., addiction, and anxiety.

As a certified hypnotherapist, she assists clients with past-life regression and healing sessions.
