Staying Connected to Yourself Through Grief - A Somatic Experience

Grief isn't only something we carry in our hearts and minds. It lives in our bodies too.
Join us for a gentle somatic experience with Ali, where we'll explore simple movement, breath, and grounding practices that can help us stay connected to ourselves while navigating grief.
This is not about fixing ourselves or grieving a certain way. There is no right way to show up. Through a body first approach, you'll be invited to slow down, listen to the wisdom of your body, and explore what it means to move through grief without losing connection to yourself.
This experience is choice led, meaning you are always in control of your participation and can engage at the level that feels right for you.
Open to anyone who has experienced pregnancy loss, infant loss, or the loss of a child.

Meet Your Facilitator: Ali
Ali's journey into somatic work began after the loss of her son, Paris, in 2018.
"My loss, and the subsequent organ failure that followed, were things that happened in my body, and I knew that healing would have to happen in my body as well. I wasn't interested in retelling a story, but I did know there was a story inside my body."
Originally certified as a yoga teacher in 2017, Ali has continued to deepen her education through certifications in trauma informed yoga, polyvagal theory in yoga for trauma healing, death and bereavement doula work, mind body coaching, feminine embodiment, somatic pain relief, and neuroscar work.
Since 2021, supporting others through this work has been her full time focus. Much of her experience has been working alongside individuals living with chronic illness and those navigating pregnancy and infant loss.
