With four years of professional experience to her credit, Aviva began her career in hospice, caring for terminal patients and comforting their families.

As a result, she is confident in delving deep into various emotional complexities, permitting a complete comprehension of these emotions with her clients, and guiding them through their pain processing journey. This wealth of experience in her initial years of practice forms an integral part of the compassionate, understanding approach she brings to her private practice today.
