Avani Jaya, was born to a very strong Naval Vietnam Veteran. When he came home from the war he suffered with severe PTSD and was addicted to drugs and alcohol. He was a farmer by trade and at that time there weren’t programs to help veterans reintegrate into society.

Her mother had severe mental illness due to addiction along with abuse from her father who was also in the military. The family was negatively affected her entire childhood.

 

Due to the climate of their upbringing, they each dealt with it differently. Avani’s older brother became a police officer, volunteer EMT, and Fire Fighter. He took his experiences and put them to use in becoming a public servant. Her older sister battled with addiction for many, many years which led to chronic health issues. Her younger brother, unfortunately, suffered from alcohol and drug addiction, which rippled into homelessness, until his passing at the age of 41, in 2014.

 

For Avani, these struggles fueled her dedication to assist people who suffer from addiction, mental health issues, health issues, and homelessness. Her dream has been to create a space where ALL WALKS can come to learn how to heal and regain a solid stance in life.Avani obtained her doctorate in Divinity and Herbal Medicine, and she has a Masters in Business Administration. She offers a variety of counseling sessions, including Quantum Healing Hypnosis Therapy.
