Empathetic, Creative, Empowering
Hi! I’m Solari! I’m an Academic Coach with Staying Ahead of the Game LLC. I hold an Associate of Science degree from Santa Barbara Business College and am a Certified Reiki Master Teacher and 200-Hour Yoga Instructor with additional training in somatic healing, trauma-informed practices for PTSD and TBI, and injury prevention and recovery.
As the founder and CEO of OpenGate Wellness, LLC, and a published author of The Sacred Undoing, I’ve spent years leading holistic education programs that nurture both academic and emotional growth. I also lead The OpenGate Group: Fort Bend Homeschoolers, mentoring families to build resilience, confidence, and creativity. My work bridges academic excellence with life skills-helping students feel seen, capable, and inspired.
I joined SAOTG because its mission mirrors my own: helping students not only succeed academically, but also develop confidence, self-awareness, and lifelong tools for success. I love witnessing those “aha” moments when students realize their own strength and potential-it’s the most rewarding part of what I do.
