About Ava Soleil
Because I understand the nervous system, I can recognize when fear is driving the wheel - and gently help people come back into choice, presence, and authorship of their lives. I’m passionate about supporting people who are ready to feel more, not less; to live with honesty, depth, and vitality; and to meet themselves fully in both the joy and the ache of being human.
I’m a small-town girl at heart, rooted in wide skies, country roads, and open fields. My love for the outdoors - paddleboarding, hiking, mountain biking, and simply being in the sunshine - is not separate from my work. Life happens in bodies, in movement, and in the real world.
Mothering my daughter, Scarlett, has been the most challenging and transformative journey of my life. Emerging from survival mode into regulation and presence has given me the profound gift of truly seeing her. She is my greatest joy and one of my greatest teachers, reminding me daily what matters most.
At my core, I believe we are whole. Each of us carries an innate capacity for healing, joy, and love. The work is not about becoming someone new, but about remembering - and choosing - how we want to live.
Nothing lights me up more than witnessing someone step into their authenticity and aliveness. Because when one person lives more fully, it ripples outward.
There is beauty in the contrast. When we have known the depths, we are also capable of extraordinary joy. This work is an invitation into that fullness - to live, to feel, and to belong to your own life.
I’ve lived many lives in this one.
Before the titles, training, and roles, I am simply a woman who has walked through fire and learned how to stay. I know what it means to live in survival mode - and what it takes to come back into presence, aliveness, and choice.
I’ve been an NCAA Division I basketball athlete, run marathons, traveled across borders and cultures, and worked with people living on the streets as well as those with immense wealth. What I’ve learned through all of it is simple and true: beneath our different stories, we carry the same longing - to feel seen, to feel whole, and to live fully as ourselves.
For many years, even before I had language for it, I carried a quiet dream of being a life coach. My path led me through clinical training, leadership studies, and deep personal healing - not away from that dream, but toward it. All roads led here.
Today, I work as a Life & Worthiness Coach with a strong clinical foundation. My work is shaped by years as a Registered Clinical Counsellor, a Master’s degree in Leadership, and training in somatic and parts-based approaches, including Internal Family Systems, EMDR, and Somatic Experiencing. I am also trained in Brené Brown’s Daring Greatly and Rising Strong curriculum, which informs my work around vulnerability, courage, resilience, and wholehearted living. In addition, I bring extensive training and supervision in psychedelic-assisted therapy, which has deeply shaped my respect for the nervous system, integration, and embodied truth.
What matters most to me now is helping people move from survival into living.
