About Ali Montgomery
The Integration of Lived Wisdom
Soul Liberation Services brings together the breadth of Ali’s experience. Having lived internationally and worked across many cultural contexts, she emphasizes the importance of engaging power, privilege, and internalized oppression as essential to a grounded, sovereign life. With decades of experience in diverse community settings, Ali supports individuals and groups in exploring the deeper patterns that shape how they inhabit their lives and inner worlds.
A Dedicated Multimodal Skillset
Drawing on more than 30 years of deep practice, Ali’s work integrates spiritually based restorative nature practices, polyvagal‑informed awareness, energy work, the expressive arts, and a symbolic system for inner‑world exploration. Her approach is anchored in rigorous, long‑term training:
Cultural Humility: Trained directly under Dr. Melanie Tervalon, the co‑creator of the cultural humility framework. This foundation grounds her work in relational safety and an awareness of power dynamics.
Spiritual Coaching: Certified as a Transformational and Spiritually‑Based Life Coach through Seattle Life Coach Training, combining intuitive depth with structured professional practice.
Applied Mindfulness & Restorative Practices: Certified in Train‑the‑Trainer Mindfulness under Natureza Gabriel Kram, integrating polyvagal‑informed mindful awareness and restorative nature practices to support grounded presence and nervous‑system steadiness.
Ali’s broader professional background includes decades of community‑based work in hospice, emergency settings, and family support, as well as leadership and training roles within youth‑serving and social‑impact organizations throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.
She is also the Founding Priestess of the Sekhmet Temple Community, where she stewards a lineage of ritual practice and symbolic literacy. Her original Sekhmet Ritual Meditation system reflects her long commitment to helping people reconnect with clarity, presence, and inner authority.
