Introduction: I work as both an acting coach and a creative consultant/block breakthrough coach. I'd love to bring my years of experience to the table and help you in either of these areas, or both! I help actors with scenes, monologues, auditions or other personal acting work. When working on our feet, I use a tapestry of techniques, I work playfully and rigorously to bring depth and specificity to the text and world of the piece. Creating a comfortable, collaborative and supportive workspace is something I excel at. We’ll be able to take risks, keep what works and throw away what doesn’t, leaving you energized and ready! When working on your goals or creative projects we talk openly and honestly about where you're at and where you're stuck and I break down how to GET YOUR STUFF DONE! Each of our sessions ends with an action plan to help you moving forward. I've got a laser sharp intuition and a passion for connection and communication. I'm able to work quickly to find the way to bring your personal power to your material.

I really couldn't recommend Ava more. After working with her to prep for an audition for one of my favorite television shows, I know that I'll be consulting with her for every big audition in the future. The casting director, who already knows me well, gave me the best feedback he's ever given me. She has a natural gift for honing in on what the writers are envisioning, and helps the actor figure out the best way to service the story, even in an audition setting. And, she's affordable!

"Ava is magic. Working with her on all sorts of audition material and genres, I always walk out of my coaching feeling more confident, more grounded, and more prepared. She has this exquisite ability in zapping into my personal strengths as an actor and guide me into using them through the material in a very human and honest way. She also makes the process fun, which I carry with me into the audition room." Aimée Cucchiaro actor/singer/life coach

“Working with Ava opened me up to specific choices in my work that went beyond initial impulses and produced something far more layered than where I started. Her keen eye for what rings true with a willingness to explore choices brough a freshness to my work that went on to callbacks and offers.” Alec Shaw, Actor, The Incident at Vichy
