Alison is continually amazed by the mind-body connection and strives to support each client in his/her/their unique healing path.

Intuition Development: Alison has been working to develop her intuition for over two decades, beginning with a profoundly psychic experience during college. Her intuitive teachers and inspiration include Tiffany Barsotti, Judith Orloff, Donna Blank, Jessica Peppler, and trainers at The Monroe Institute. She is passionate about enabling people to find greater ease and joy in their lives through connecting with their soul’s wisdom. Angelic healing and communication is woven into Alison's energy healing sessions.
Interests: Her understanding of the body and nervous system is enhanced by her longtime practices of Iyengar yoga, mindfulness meditation, and the Feldenkrais Method. Her work and life are greatly influenced by Non-Violent Communication and Respectful Confrontation. In addition, she is an avid swimmer, bicyclist, and runner. She is also a strong supporter of small farms and nutrient-dense, traditional foods.
