Ali Ash

Ali Ash is a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner and a certified Life Purpose Coach, trained in the Restoration Therapy model, which combines the advantages of a Trauma Informed Approach, Attachment Theory, Emotional Regulation and Mindfulness to recognize patterns and create change by integrating somatic practices to support the whole person throughout the therapeutic sessions. With a background in psychology and spiritual formation, she cares deeply about the things of the heart and is passionate about coming alongside people where their mental, emotional, physical and spiritual health intersects with growth and healing.

A Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner combined with a certified Life Purpose Coach offers a unique approach to personal development and healing. SE™ techniques are grounded in biology, focusing on the brain and nervous system patterns throughout the body. Noticing sensations, activation and settling cycles while addressing trauma, implicit memory and stress, facilitates a deeper understanding of how past experiences manifest physically and emotionally. A lot of people “know” a lot of things… and can get frustrated when they’re not able to “do what they know”. SE™ helps with a “bottoms up” approach that is different than typical talk therapy. The SE™ approach releases traumatic shock or "activation", which is key to transforming PTSD, wounds of emotional neglect, early developmental attachment traumas and other categorical traumas. It is a pyschosomatic approach that works with implicit memory, organizing the brain and nervous system to the hear and now.

Meanwhile, a certified life coach provides guidance and support in setting and achieving personal goals, enhancing self-awareness, and creating positive life changes while noticing internal and external blocks that have been in the way. By integrating these two modalities, they help clients develop a holistic understanding of their experiences, empowering them to heal from the inside out while also fostering growth and resilience for future challenges. This combined approach allows for a comprehensive exploration of both emotional and physical well-being.

Ali enjoys learning in many different spaces including facilitating leadership trainings to cultivate and nurture the business sector, small workshop circles, coaching parents in attuning to their children with a responsiveness to offer repair, navigating relationship challenges, repairing early childhood development neglect/trauma, spiritual growth and integrating personal values into a healthy work life balance.
