Grief is not just an emotional experience—it’s physical, mental, spiritual, and deeply personal. At Breathe.Move.Heal CIC, we offer compassionate, body-based grief support that goes beyond words. Led by Tahmina Hakimova-Rees, a Certified Grief Educator and Grief Movement Guide, our approach acknowledges the many faces of grief—bereavement, identity loss, immigration, life transitions, health and more—and creates space for healing in all its forms.

What is a Grief Educator?

As a Certified Grief Educator, Tahmina offers support based on the latest understanding of how people process loss. This includes:

· Creating a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore your grief

· Helping you name and understand the types of loss you may be carrying

· Offering education, insight, and compassionate guidance rooted in evidence-based approaches

· Supporting your unique timeline and expression of grief—without rushing or fixing

Grief education sessions can be offered one-to-one or in small groups, either in person or online.

What is a Grief Movement Guide?

Sometimes words aren’t enough. As a Grief Movement Guide, Tahmina integrates gentle somatic movement, breathwork, and sound to help process grief that lives in the body. These sessions may include:

· Breath-led movement to release emotional tension and regulate the nervous system

· Mindful, trauma-aware practices that support emotional expression without overwhelm

· Sound therapy and stillness to soothe, ground, and reconnect with your inner self

· Techniques to help you move from emotional numbness or heaviness into clarity and calm

Grief movement is especially helpful for people who feel “stuck” in their grief, are holding trauma in the body, or find it difficult to access emotions through talking alone.

Who This Is For

· Adults experiencing bereavement or loss of any kind (relationships, identity, home, health, etc.)

· People navigating complex or layered grief, including immigration, career changes, and childhood trauma

· Those feeling emotionally numb, stuck, or overwhelmed by life’s transitions

· Anyone seeking gentle, embodied, and non-verbal ways to heal through grief

Begin Your Healing Journey

Whether you're in the early days of loss or carrying grief you've held for years, you're not alone. Grief support with Tahmina is not about “getting over it”—it’s about moving through it, gently, with compassion and care.
