SOLSTICE — healing companionship on our personal & collective journeys

Sól bears kind and gentle witnessing in their coaching, inviting out parts of me that hesitate to show themselves, and disarming them from shame. One of Sól's strengths is creating a grounded and safe container for powerful release. In their sessions, I've been gently guided toward tender self-compassion, which helps me grow my trust in myself. Working with Sól has allowed me to part with outdated stories of who I am, or who I can't be - and importantly this has helped me decouple from trauma. In particular, Sól's gifts of powerful questions, attentive listening, engaging with ongoing consent, and unwavering faith in my agency have helped me dissolve self-limiting beliefs and open myself to deeper self-love. I leave their sessions in awe of what I've just experienced.

The support I received from Sol's life coaching helped me weave spirit, intuition, and my healing journey into the next steps of my life. Sol provided space and tools to look inward and lean into new ways of being through meditation, a variety of reflection practices, thoughtful insight, and homework. I feel blessed to have their awareness during so many important times in my life.

I worked with Sól for a total of 6 months. They had a powerful yet settled way of partnering with me and my intentions with each session, even when the intention was different from the week’s prior. Sól has a calm energy and a gift of asking questions that evoke awareness and curiosity within myself that made me feel like I was in control of my heartspace instead of my circumstances controlling me! I give Sól 5 out of 5 stars.

Guiding and facilitating decolonization work, when the very systems we're working to uproot are designed to "benefit" the recipient (a white, cis-gendered male) in this instance, is a challenging task. Sól handles that challenge and, in turn, challenges me to look inward instead of outward for guidance. I am forever grateful for their guidance.
