Once nestled in the artsy, tree-filled foothills of Altadena, Alison Sherwood, my sister in law, never imagined calling the ocean “home.” But after the devastating fire took her house, her business, and her beloved community, she and my brother were forced to relocate—landing unexpectedly in Redondo Beach.

At first, the beach felt foreign to her. But soon, the rhythm of the ocean became a source of comfort, healing, and transformation. Alison opens up about her grief, the emotional toll of starting over, and how the beach became a sanctuary that helped her reconnect with herself after profound loss—including the passing of her mother.

Together, Alison and I reflect on:

• The power of the ocean to ground and heal
• Creating sacred space through healing circles and spiritual practices
• Finding identity and purpose through grief and resilience
• How community and ritual can reconnect us to joy

Today, Alison offers Reiki, sound healing, hypnotherapy, and her intuitive “Soul Key” technique to help others navigate loss and step into their healing.

Whether you’re navigating change or simply drawn to the peace of the shore, Alison’s story is a reminder that the beach has its own kind of magic—one that can hold us through even life’s fiercest storms.
