We had the good fortune of connecting with Avemaria Lisenbee and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Avemaria, is there something you can share with us that those outside of the industry might not be aware of?
What comes to your mind when you think about Pole Dancing? Is it money being thrown while someone dances provocatively around the pole? While what I mentioned is the most known conception of Pole Dancing, I’m here to enlighten you that the art of Pole Dancing is so much more. While other people may appreciate the “entertainment,” Pole Dancing is about the individual. Pole helps people tap into their feminine energy – it helps them get their groove back. I’ve seen people from all walks of life receive healing at the Pole.

Many people ask what started me on this journey; the truth is Pole found me, and I consciously conformed to the calling. My journey began in 2011 and transitioned into a purpose-fulfilled lifestyle. I’m a life coach at the POLES – I help people understand their self-worth and how to channel their energy into a new way of fitness.

My name is Avemaria, and I am the Founder of Pole 4 UR Soul, where we Pole on Purpose for a Purpose. We provide a community where everyone can reset and reposition their mind, body, soul, and spirit. Pole 4 UR Soul Augusta GA, now Pole 4 UR Soul Stone Mountain GA, which is also our Pole Power Retreat Location.

What should our readers know about your business?
…what sets me apart

Pole 4 UR SOUL is just what it says; read it slowly… allow it to resonate with your mind, body, spirit, and soul. Our energy and connection with our clientele are impeccable. We take time to reach into the soul of our pole sister or mister.

The Healing of mind, body, spirit, and soul magically appears on our platform. It makes me proud to be a Life Coach at the Poles.

I manifested Pole 4 UR Soul. I wanted to create a daily workout of fun that included a healing ritual routine…and I am doing that. My thoughts manifested my desire; my desire manifested my destiny; then my destiny manifested my purpose. PURPOSE is what sets us apart from other Pole dance studios.

My story is truly saving many woMEN’s lives at the poles! The ENERGY is Amazing and Contagious – you can’t help but receive therapy, healing, strength. You evolve in your soul, in your sexy, in our Atmosphere.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I love a great time! When I host my best friend, our mornings consist of mediation and yoga to the music of Londrelle. Afterward, we enjoy a bold cup of coffee coupled with an excellent breakfast on my deck. Of course, no breakfast is complete without mimosas, so we have those as well.

During the afternoons, I take her sightseeing to places like Stone Mountain and the Georgia Aquarium. We’re sophisticated, so we frequent places like the New Black Wall Street Market, the National Center for Civil and Human Rights, and the Botanical Gardens as an example. Atlanta is full of scenic places to explore via skating or walking, so we’d partake in these activities too.

While I mostly enjoy cooking at home, you’ll catch me at Houston’s, The Capital Grille, Little Mexico, or Sage Woodfire Tavern Perimeter for a night out. At these places, we’ll take in live music and toast to our accomplishments.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
This is a tough one. I have so many people I’m thankful for, from my family to those who believed in my vision and committed to bringing it to life with me.

My dad is a successful faith-based entrepreneur. He taught my sisters and I the WILL of POWER and DESTINY through a growth mindset. One of his favorite Bible passages is “Faith without works is dead!” I embody these words to this day. He speaks life into me and encourages my ideas.

My mother lived by the phrase “It’s ALL GOOD”, which resonates with my spirit to this day. Through the good and what seems to be not so good, life works together for my good. She taught me patience and how to trust the process. Because of her, I know gratitude and joy, no matter what the circumstances are. My studio offers the Balindar “Faye” Lisenbee Scholarship Program in honor of our mother. She is truly the wind beneath my wings. RIP to my mommy.

My sisters are my everything! Mimie introduced me to Pole Dancing, Devon helped position me to open Pole 4 UR Soul, and Sandra is Pole 4 UR Soul’s personal trainer. Altogether, my sisters are my rock. We sharpen one another because we’re all successful business owners. Our parents taught us the importance of support, sacrifice, and success.

My daughter is my world. Hailing from the John S. Davidson Fine Arts Magnet School, Cyerra Marie aka Ayre’ is the love of my life, the joy of my heart, the art to entertainment. She is the proud owner of Melanin Mental Magic, our fabulous choreographer and pole dance certified trainer. She taught me to let go and flow like water as a Life Coach at Pole 4 UR Soul. I am so grateful for her!

My instructors who walk the walk and talk the Pole 4 UR Soul talk; we are one! Your energy is amazing and contagious! You’re all aligned and designed, trained, courageous, and certified. You all continue to grow with me on this Pole 4 UR Soul journey. When I’m weak, you make me strong. I love my pole sisters!
