Why Solasta ?

Solasta: meaning luminous or shining in Scottish Gaelic.

Solasta is a Scottish word meaning luminous or shining. I chose this name because it speaks to the journey from heartbreak to wholeness - from shadow to light. Heartbreak can feel like a descent into darkness, but it also holds the potential for profound transformation. At Solasta, I guide clients through a process of awareness, healing, and growth - helping them navigate their pain, reclaim their power, and step into the luminous life and love they truly desire. This is not just recovery; it's emergence. It's becoming Solasta.

My Journey to Wholeness

Hi, I’m Cheryl Edwards, a Certified Conscious Uncoupling™ Coach and Jay Shetty Certified Life, Divorce, and Relationship Coach. But before I became a coach, I was a woman on a healing journey—just like you might be now.

Like so many, my story begins in childhood with experiences no young girl should have to face. I learned early on to smile through pain, to hide my wounds behind a mask of strength. Deep down, I felt insecure and unworthy. I came to believe that love had to be earned—and that meant self-sacrifice. I let others cross my boundaries, afraid that if I spoke up, I’d be abandoned. Over time, I lost touch with my own needs, my voice, and the dreams that once lit me up.

But that isn’t where my story ends.

After years of searching for love in all the wrong places, I left an abusive relationship and became an unwed mother at 23. Still carrying deep wounds, I continued to find myself in relationships where I felt small, disrespected, and powerless. By 46, I had two divorces behind me and a burning question: Why do I keep ending up here?

That’s when I discovered the Conscious Uncoupling™ process—and it changed everything.

Working through the process, I began to uncover the unconscious patterns that were keeping me stuck. I took loving responsibility—not blame—for the role I played in teaching others how to treat me. There is never an excuse for abuse, but there is power in recognizing where we’ve abandoned ourselves and how we can begin to choose differently.

Today, I’m in a healthy, loving, and supportive relationship built on mutual respect. I live in alignment with my values and vision. And now, I help others do the same.

If you find yourself:

  • Feeling afraid to speak your truth or ask for what you need
  • Losing yourself in relationships
  • Settling for less than you deserve
  • Struggling with low self-worth or people-pleasing
  • Repeating painful relationship patterns
  • …then I want you to know: you’re not broken—and you’re not alone.

    As your coach, I’ll guide you through the healing process so you can reclaim your voice, break free from the past, and start building the life and love you truly deserve.

    If you’re ready to reclaim your voice, rewrite your love story, and create a life where you feel whole, seen, and more than enough—I invite you to book a free 30-minute Find Freedom in Forgiveness consultation with me.

    Let’s take that first step together and begin your journey back to you.
