Meet Ava Love
Priestess of Pleasure and Erotic Embodiment Mentor
I grew up in West Tennessee, raised by strict, religious parents who taught me to view my sexuality as something shameful and wrong. From a young age, I was conditioned to feel guilty about something that should have been a natural part of who I was.
As I entered puberty and began to feel sensual urges for the first time, I already associated these feelings with guilt and shame. Over the years, I faced betrayal in my relationships, judgment and slut shaming from my father, and a traumatic experience in college that further reinforced the idea that my sensual energy would always lead to hurt.
I buried that part of myself for a long time. I became an empty shell, stuck in a corporate healthcare job that drained me and completely disconnected from my own body and my own desires.
Then, everything shifted.
Through Tantra, dance, and a deep commitment to exploring my own body, I found my way back to myself. But it wasn’t just my personal journey—I also learned the power of surrender through my relationship with my partner. Their love, patience, understanding and CELEBRATION of my wildest self allowed me to let go of old fears and truly embrace pleasure. Together, we created a space where I could feel safe to explore and surrender fully to my desires.
Now, my mission is create and hold that safe space for others. To help others reconnect with their bodies and rediscover the joy of surrendering to their own pleasure. It’s about leaning back, relaxing into your sacred energy, embracing the beauty of who you truly are, and being CELEBRATED for it!
