Trauma-Informed Mindfulness & Restorative Yoga Series

ONLINE SUPPORT GROUP
Facilitated by: Gabrielle Montalvo-Edwards LCSW
Day / Time: tbc

Group Demographic: Adults 18+ of all genders

Many of us are holding tension in our bodies and stories in our hearts that we haven’t had space to release. Whether it’s stress, grief, anxiety, trauma, or the emotional weight of daily life, it all shows up in the body. This group offers a space to gently return to yourself through mindfulness, breath, and supported rest.

This 6-session series blends trauma-informed mindfulness with restorative yoga practices to help participants reconnect with their bodies in a safe, accessible, and culturally aware way. Each session offers space to pause, breathe, notice, and soften. We are not here to perform wellness—we are here to practice presence, at our own pace.

As Audre Lorde reminds us, “Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation.”

The Purpose of the Group

This series will meet for 60 minutes, twice weekly, over the course of 3 weeks. All participants must commit to all 6 sessions. The group will offer participants the opportunity to:

Gently reconnect with the body through grounding and movement
Learn accessible, trauma-informed mindfulness tools to reduce stress
Practice breathwork and restorative poses to support the nervous system
Explore the mind-body connection without pressure or performance
Cultivate self-compassion, rest, and emotional awareness
Feel supported by a community of others on a similar path
Receive optional home practices to support integration between sessions

I take a holistic approach to therapy: assessing clients from a mental, physical, and spiritual perspective and creating a therapeutic plan and environment that integrates all of these areas. I have served various populations from individuals battling cancer, to students struggling with learning disabilities.

In 2017, I became certified in personal training in order to better understand and support the physical aspects of wellness and its influence on mental health. My experience as a social worker and personal trainer have been invaluable resources when working with clients trying to address barriers to change and promoting greater self-acceptance.

I’m trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). I also integrate holistic techniques such as meditation, stretch, breath work, grounding, movement, and mindfulness into my therapeutic work with clients.
