Where Your Spark Gets Its Fire Back

Coaching and immersive experiences designed to bring clarity, connection, and a deeper sense of joy.

THE SOULFIRE STORY

Soulfire exists in the spaces we don’t rush past.

In the moments when the buzzing stops, the beeping fades, and there’s nothing to respond to except yourself.

When we step outside—away from screens, schedules, and constant input—clarity returns. The body softens. The mind settles. What truly matters rises to the surface, alongside what’s ready to be released.

Soulfire is for people who know there’s more available to them, but don’t want another program, performance, or prescription. It’s a place to reconnect with what’s essential and to build a life that feels grounded, alive, and aligned.

Not everything needs fixing.
Some things need space.
‍
When space exists, clarity follows. Decisions feel truer. Work finds its proper shape. Relationships regain ease. Energy returns—not through effort, but through attention.

You begin showing up as the parent, partner, and leader you already are—by listening to what matters now, and letting go of what no longer fits.

Soulfire offers guided experiences that create this space intentionally. Through nature, stillness, conversation, and connection, alignment becomes a way of living—not another goal to chase.

THIS IS SOULFIRE

I’m Melanie Merkling. Soulfire is the work I do and the way I live.

Whether through private sessions, immersive experiences in nature, or shared journeys with family, the work is the same: creating space for people to reconnect with themselves and live more fully—right where they are.

This isn’t about hustle or escape. It’s about building a life that works—one that supports ambition, presence, and real joy without constant tension.

Entrepreneur, Life Guide
& SoulFire Curator

Meet Melanie Merkling

Melanie Merkling is the founder of Soulfire, a nature-led experience brand rooted in slow travel, presence, and connection. A longtime entrepreneur and single parent, Melanie’s life has been shaped by seasons of building, letting go, and choosing a more intentional way of living.

Over the years, she has spent extended time traveling with her children, exploring wild places, and learning what happens when life is allowed to move at a more human pace. These experiences — outdoors, together, and away from constant noise — became the foundation for Soulfire.

Melanie believes wellness isn’t something you escape to or optimize for. It’s something you practice quietly, in real life, through time outside, shared meals, meaningful connection, and space to breathe. Her work is less about fixing or transforming, and more about creating environments where people — and families — can settle back into themselves.

Through Soulfire, Melanie curates experiences that invite people to slow down, reconnect, and remember what matters — in nature, in community, and at home.
