“I'd not seen in years what Alison uncovered in moments. I haven't met many, if any, coaches who can do what she can do. If you think you have a good thing going, but you have an inkling that you might be meant for a great thing - just talk to her."
Caryn G., Small Business Owner

“I was unhappy at my job and throwing darts in about twenty five different directions, unsure of where to go or what the next right step was. Figuring out what I really want at the core has been really empowering."

Explore Better
I embarked on adulthood with no clue who I was or what I was doing. (Maybe you can relate?) I was low on most metrics of a great life - depressed, isolated, lost, and unfulfilled.
Things felt so bad that the only choice I saw was to push out and explore how life could be better.
From that first choice of raising my hand in class at college (I was an extremely quiet kid) to speaking in front of hundreds and even performing a ten-minute stand-up set,
from wishing I had more friends to building a community and friendships that carried me through an unexpected divorce and dating learning curve (thank you everyone!),
from building a business I outgrew to finally finding a path forward that felt right after a bunch of trial and error,
from ignoring my emotional health to regularly feeling grounded and regulated,
I have methodically pushed the boundaries of what I thought was possible in career, relationships, health, business, and daily life. And I’m here to tell you that life really, truly can get better.
So much is possible when you get out and explore. And life, while not always easy, can be a joy to live, particularly when we do it together.
I believe:
You can have more of what you want than you realize.
Clarity is foundational to getting what you want.
Getting to clarity is a process of reflection and exploration that results in finding the most amazing things in life.
Getting to clarity can be accelerated with expert support and community.
That’s where I come in! The exploratory process of getting to clarity is my specialty, and I love collaboratively discovering all that is possible for you and your life.
My coaching style is present, compassionate, attentive, insightful, and playful. I like to get to know and work with the rhythms of your system to help you function at your best.
When you’re in your sweet spot of life and have an overflowing cup you not only feel better, but you also make your greatest contribution to the world.
