Who we are

We're Michael Avery and Angela Cook—a Corvallis-based duo who believe the best parts of life happen when hearts open, curiosity leads, and we show up fully for each other and the people around us.

Michael (the podcast host with the endless questions and a soft spot for raw stories) pours his energy into creating spaces where emotion, healing, spirituality, and real connection can breathe…no scripts, just presence.

Angela (the spark behind the scenes, the one who keeps the magic flowing) brings her big-hearted hustle to every detail, from big ideas to the little touches that make guests feel truly seen.

Together, we're all in on giving generously; time, laughter, listening, and whatever we've got to foster joyful, supportive communities that help everyone feel a little less alone and a lot more alive. We work hard because we love hard, and we're having a blast building these weird, wonderful things called Avery Cook Group, this is emotionart, and emotionart coaching… one curious conversation at a time.
