My heart is still full and beaming from last night’s Complimentary Somatic Grief & Loss Support gathering. 💓

Last night was one of those quiet reminders of why this work matters so deeply and why I feel more called than ever to do it. 💚

People showed up with tenderness, honesty and courage, and together we created a space where grief could be acknowledged without pressure, fixing or performance. 💞

December’s gathering was the same.
Strangers arriving quietly.
Leaving more connected, steadied and less alone. 💝

It is truly beautiful and such a blessing to witness the container that each group creates together through presence, care and loving kindness. 🥰

Humanity at its best. 🕊️

This is what happens when the body is invited into healing.
When grief is met gently.
When people are allowed to be exactly where they are. ❤️‍🩹

I’m deeply grateful to everyone who trusted this space, whether you joined us in December, last night or are finding your way here now. 🙏

Grief doesn’t need to be carried alone.

And it doesn’t need to be rushed.

💚 Monthly complimentary gatherings continue. (Registration is required for each session to receive updated Zoom details.)

💛 Deeper 1:1 support is available for those who feel ready and prefer a quiet, confidential space for personalized somatic healing over multi-week series.

🧡 Coming Home - An 8-Week Somatic Healing Circle
Beginning February 3, 2026, Coming Home is a small, guided group for those drawn to healing in community through consistency, nervous-system support and gentle embodied work

This work is sacred. 💞

And I’m so honoured to hold it.

With so much love and gratitude. 💚

Grief and loss are a lot to carry
- and you don’t need to carry it alone. 🕊️

Grief doesn’t just live in our thoughts.
It lives in the body.
In our nervous system.
In our breath, our muscles, our sleep, our energy, our ability to feel joy again.

That’s why talking alone isn’t always enough and a somatic (mind-body-spirit) approach matters.

🌿 This Monday, January 5th, I’m offering my next Complimentary Monthly Somatic Grief & Loss Support Session.

It’s a gentle, grounded space to help you settle your nervous system, release what’s been held and feel supported in your whole being - physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.

You don’t need to have the “right” kind of grief.
You don’t need to hold it together.
Just come as you are.

🕊️ Monday, January 5th, 7 – 9 pm NST | 5:30 – 7:30 pm EST
Complimentary | A small and safe group.

👉 Registration is required here: https://calendly.com/annmarie_mackey/complimentary-somatic-grief-support

If group support isn’t your thing or you’re feeling the need for more personal care, I also offer private 1:1 somatic grief support.
Or a combined approach is welcome.

Learn more here: https://annmariemackey.com/grief-support

This program is gentle.
It’s grounded.
And it meets grief where it actually lives - in the whole body.
If you feel the nudge, you’re welcome here.
You don’t have to carry this alone.

If you know someone who’s quietly carrying a lot, please feel free to share this with them. ❤️‍🩹

As this year comes to a close, I want to offer a gentle but honest invitation.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned, personally and professionally, it’s this:

✨ we can’t out-run what we haven’t healed.

The wounds, regrets, shame, guilt and hurts we try to push down don’t disappear.

- They settle into the body.
- They weigh on the nervous system.
- They shape how we think, love, lead and live - mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually.

And it doesn’t have to be that way.

As we step into a new year, I’m passionately inviting you to make yourself a priority.

To stop carrying what was never meant to be carried forever.

To gently break the chains that bind you.

❤️‍🩹 This is the work of resetting the nervous system.
💚 Releasing what no longer serves you - the shame, the guilt, the old stories, the pain.
💙 Reclaiming your life as your birthright.
💝 Realigning with what actually matters.

So much of what we’re told is important is just noise and distraction from what really matters in our short and fleeting lives:

Love.
Presence.
From being fully alive.

If you’re ready to rise into the truest version of yourself…
To free your spirit.
To dance with life again.
To love yourself and others from a grounded, healed place…

I would be honoured to walk with you.

This is your invitation. 🌿

I have been through the worst. There is nothing you could share with me that I cannot hold.
Nothing too messy, too heavy or too much.

As we step into the new year, I wish you more of what truly matters - peace, health, presence, connection and time for yourself and the people you love. 💝🎊🎉

Wishing You A Peaceful Christmas 🕊️

As we arrive at this tender moment of the year, I wanted to reach out and wish you a very Merry Christmas.


I know this season can hold many things for many people - joy, reflection, grief, gratitude, hope, longing, love - sometimes all at once. Whatever Christmas means to you, I hope it brings moments of peace, love and joy.


For me, Christmas is rooted in faith. It is a time to remember the birth of Jesus, the quiet arrival of love into the world, reminding us of compassion, humility, forgiveness and hope. Those values feel especially meaningful right now.


My Christmas wish for you is this:

❤️ May you stay connected to the present moment.
💚 May you listen to your inner knowing and trust its quiet wisdom.
❤️ May you give yourself permission to slow down, breathe and soften.
💚 May you gently realign with what truly matters and find peace in small, simple, ordinary moments, where it so often lives.


Thank you for being here, for being part of this community and for walking your own path with courage and heart.


Wishing you a Christmas filled with presence, love and gentle moments that truly matter.

With warmth and care,


Ann Marie


P.S. My next monthly Somatic Grief & Loss Support gathering takes place on January 5th. You’re welcome to join if and when it feels right.

A gentle reminder as we move through this busy week…

Try not to sweat the small stuff…. And it’s all small stuff. 🤍🎄🎅🏻

Practice patience with yourself and with others.

Pause and take a breath.

Being a kind person is what’s important.

Remember your manners… including the ones you extend to yourself.

Let someone go ahead of you.
Hold the door open.
Say thank you…

Listen to yourself.
Listen to what your system needs in this moment and respond with care. 💖
If you feel up to doing something, do it.
If you feel called to rest, slow down, or be quiet, honour that too.

Stay connected to the present moment.
Go inside and listen to your inner knowing and act on it accordingly.
That’s where peace lives. 🕊️

And remember, the most meaningful gifts aren’t things.
Your presence matters more than anything you could buy.

All we truly have is time. Life is tender, fleeting and precious. 💞 Give the gift of your time to yourself and the people you love and care about. 💝

Have you ever noticed that even the “good things” in life don’t quite light you up the way you think they should?

So many of us learned when we were younger to shut down our bad or scary feelings to survive situations we didn’t yet have the capacity to handle - a completely natural response to what we were navigating at the time.

But when we numbed the pain, we also unknowingly numbed and disconnected from all the feelings… including joy.

Many people are quietly carrying heavy things and don’t feel safe saying them out loud.

The body remembers what we haven’t yet been able to face - until we’re ready to gently work through it and let it go.

I've been there - and you don’t have to carry it alone. You can gently learn to feel again.

I have a few spaces open for Clarity & Reset Sessions this month for anyone ready to release what’s heavy and reconnect with themselves again.

🌿 Last Call: You Don’t Have to Carry This Alone

Grief isn’t just sadness - and it doesn’t just live in your mind.
It shows up in your body and it's a lot to keep stuffing down.

It can look like:
• feeling overwhelmed for “no reason”
• being short-tempered or easily overstimulated
• heaviness in your chest
• tension in your chest, shoulders or jaw
• trouble sleeping
• avoiding your own emotions because you’re afraid to go there
• moving through life on autopilot
• feeling alone even when you’re not
• focusing on everyone else because it’s easier than feeling your own pain

This time of year can make all of this louder - old memories, new pressures, expectations, loneliness and grief that wakes back up when you least expect it..

Most people try to push through it alone… not because they want to, but because they’re used to being the strong one or don't want to "bring others down".

You don’t have to do that.
You deserve a space to breathe.

This Monday, December 1st, I’m hosting a complimentary Somatic Grief & Loss Support Meeting

It's a gentle, grounded, mind–body–spirit space to honour your grief, ease what’s heavy and give your nervous system room to breathe.

My intention is that you leave feeling lighter, steadier and more supported.

Registration closes soon.

If something in you is whispering “I need this” please listen.
You’re not taking someone else’s spot - you’re allowed to be supported.

👉 Join us here:
https://annmariemackey.com/grief-support

(under “Complimentary Monthly Grief & Loss Support Group”)

If group settings aren’t your thing, I also offer 1:1 somatic support:
https://annmariemackey.com/personal-1-1

You deserve rest.
You deserve care.
You deserve a place to land.

Facilitated by Ann Marie Mackey, a Registered Naturopath with advanced training in Somatic Trauma Therapy and Yoga Therapy for Grief.

🌿 Emotional weight is a lot to carry alone...

Most people don’t realize the body keeps the score when it comes to all the emotional load we carry - and just how serious that is on our well-being.

It shows up as:
• exhaustion
• emotional numbness
• trouble sleeping
• over-giving
• people-pleasing
• feeling disconnected from yourself
• ruminating
• bracing for the next shoe to drop…

And most people try to carry this alone.
Not because they want to - but because they don’t want to burden anyone, they feel like they “should be okay by now”, and any of the other stories we have running around in our head.

If any of this feels familiar, I’m offering a Complimentary Somatic Grief & Loss Support Group this Monday, December 1st.

A gentle, grounded, safe (mind–body–spirit) space where:
• you don’t have to carry it alone
• you don’t have to hide
• you don’t have to perform strength
• you may leave feeling lighter and more supported

Registration closes 48 hours in advance, so if this speaks to you, please register today or tomorrow.

• You’re not taking someone else’s spot - you deserve to be there.

If you feel called, you’re truly welcome.

This work is real, grounding and compassionate and it’s close to my heart.

If you feel the nudge, here’s the link to join:

(under Complimentary Monthly Grief & Loss Support Group)

You deserve a space to breathe.
You deserve support.
You deserve not to do this alone.

If you prefer one-on-one support rather than a group setting, I offer that as well. Learn more here: https://annmariemackey.com/personal-1-1
