Qualifications & Training

Alison’s Health and Wellbeing journey has been lifelong.

She began her humble journey to wellbeing at 11 years old!! She decided immediately that she no longer wanted to eat animal produce and a change began to evolve. Becoming a vegetarian was something her mother had never experienced, and was told eat what is prepared or cook for yourself, she chose the later, and with a small allowance, at 11 years old, she would go to health food stores and began experimenting in the kitchen with vegan and vegetarian foods, she leaned into her intuition and just felt called to no longer eat animals and that continued until she was 23 years old. She began then to once again eat animal produce and does to this day, but as a “choice~tarian” (chosing what she intuitively feels her body needs) She may be weeks without meat or may feel it is needed daily, listening to our own innerwisdom and advocating for what we need is something Alison is very passionate about teaching and she published her first health book in 2019 “Vibrant on the Inside out”.

Her next step in wellbeing began when she was 21 and she took her first qualification in “exercise to music” when she was living in the Channel Islands, and managed several health clubs from that point.

Alison went on to build her own Personal Training/Nutrition and Pilates business at the age of 21 in between running health clubs, and she continued her personal growth and professional development throughout the years, navigating her then unhealed trauma, ancestoral and during her own lifetime, which lead her to living with eating disorders, Gut health issues, autoimmune illnesses, mental health issues, to enhance her skill set that benefits her client’s results as such she has trained with Global leaders in various modalities to support her clients in Enriching their lives.

  • Alison certified with Moving the human spirit (TICC Trauma informed coaching certification).

    Trauma-Informed Coaching is the practice of understanding the presence of trauma in a coach-client relationship and how to use it as a guide for resilience and solution-forward resolution. The depth of information and skill to ‘hold’ a space for profound coaching work is what gives Trauma-Informed Coaching its nuance and strength. Trauma-Informed Coaches have training in client regulation, brain-body connection, behavioral reaction, different types of traumas, leading causes, and subsequent symptoms. They have learned the proper channels for referral and the growing relationship between clinical professionals, therapists, and coaches. To become a Trauma-Informed Coach, one must have authenticity, strong values, and beliefs that are not limiting or suppress working in this area. Alison learned methods to help her clients to ‘regulate’ the nervous system, discard shame and guilt through powerful questions, and recognize and promote wellness as it starts to develop

    Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy is a comprehensive approach to therapy that integrates elements of psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, interpersonal, experiential, and body-centered therapies to maximize treatment effects. EMDR Therapy uses a structured protocol for the treatment of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and related past experiences that trigger emotions, beliefs, sensations.

    Somatic Interventions such as tracking sensations, deepening awareness, boundary awareness, and self-regulation complement and increase the efficacy of EMDR Therapy. Collectively these therapeutic modalities offer a profound healing tool for anyone facing the pain of PTSD.
