My work covers three main streams
The first is Emotional Processing. It’s doing your deep work to soothe your pain, projections, mindset blocks, etc. It’s very healing and foundational.
The next is Authentic Connection & Communication. This is more about deepening your ability to be with yourself and others while you navigate difficult spaces or create relationships of beauty and elegance. I like to emphasize the psychoactive connection between people, the healthy navigation of conflict, and the basic foundations of communication.
The third is Expressive Arts and Movement. It’s a way of telling your body’s stories without using words. Both art and movement help us to go directly to deep truths, enter altered states of consciousness, and develop our capacity for spontaneity and joy.
All three of these avenues incorporate the wisdom that emerges by noticing what’s within the space between us. By learning to follow the subtle energies, together, we can transform what once felt impossible to move, into works of art.
I’ve never met anyone like Ali. She’s a master of the Bio-Emotive Framework, an amazing teacher and a devoted listener. If you want an honest, respectful guide to open the door on improving your relationships with yourself and others, Ali will teach you.” -Lois K.
Hoji Alexandra Tataryn
Hoji works as a caring, present guide, through ones inner emotional landscape. Together, we explore the varying dynamics you’re up against and we “wait” until something “clicks” and we can dive more deeply into the emotional experience and release.
When the time is right, we go inward, focusing on the internal structures and maps that shape our beliefs. Sometimes we cry and express and sometimes we take a break from content and simply exist, leaning towards presence and inner silence.
Hoji is a trained counsellor, somatic educator, bio-emotive coach, expressive arts facilitator & t3 circling facilitator. She is also a certified, Non-Dual Mondo Zen Emotional Koan Instructor, Shamatha Meditation Instructor, Kundalini Yoga Instructor. She has many years personal development in conflict resolution, voice dialogue, expressive movement, attachment therapy, developmental movement patterning, 5Rhythms, and Authentic Movement.

The way the material was delivered and facilitated by Ali. She was dropped in, tuned in, caring for the group while also caring for the individuals. She led by example, showing up authentically. She stayed on track while also veering off, still within the topics, but to explore where the group wanted to go – Melissa Aitkens
