I can easily say that Allison’s Emotional Expression Workshop changed my life. Not only has it changed the way I think about pain, but also how I relate to and understand anxiety and fear. Allison did a beautiful job combining research and learning about the approach with actually practicing, experiencing, and integrating it. This has allowed me to reach back for these exercises when pain flares up, even when I only have a few minutes.

I am so grateful for coaching with Allison, and I have so many wins to share! Allison not only helped me when my nervous system was alarmed and scared, but working with her showed me that what I was feeling and experiencing was not just “all in my head.” I have experienced many chronic symptoms and chronic illness for most of my life, and Allison helped me see which of my symptoms are nervous system related and which are anatomically related, which is another huge win for me. I am now able to live more pain-free and anxiety-free because of it! Also, one of my biggest wins to share is that Allison helped me learn that I can trust myself so much more than I ever have, and this has been a huge change in my life. And all of these big shifts and wins happened after only two sessions!!! I highly recommend Allison for anyone who is looking for a new approach to recovery from chronic symptoms, especially if they have “done all the things” but still feel like something is missing.

Working with Allison was a delight! Her uniquely bright, warm, and empathetic manner puts one immediately at ease. Sessions with her soon became places of refuge and restoration. I would wholeheartedly recommend working with Allison for anyone looking for help recovering from burnout and getting back to feeling like themselves.

Allison is exceptionally knowledgeable and professional. She provided a safe space for me to explore my emotions in a way that I have never done before. The Emotions Workshop is scientifically based and helped me understand how emotions affect and can perpetuate my physical chronic symptoms. I highly recommend this workshop to anyone looking to gain deeper insights into improving their emotional and physical well-being.

I highly recommend Allison’s Emotional Expression Workshop to anyone who is looking for healthy ways to explore emotional expression. I've found it can be difficult to feel my emotions to their full extent. I'm a fairly self-aware person, but I'm learning that the extent to which I've been consciously aware of my emotions is only a partial picture. By learning to visualize, draw, journal, and "talk" to my emotions, a lot more depth of understanding, connection, and emotional processing was evoked from Allison's class. Even though each class was 2 hours long, they went quickly! Her classes weren't like most 2-hour classes where after 90 minutes I'm ready to do something else. At the end of each class, I was still engaged and intrigued.

I’ve always considered myself a fairly calm and grounded person, but after working with Allison, I realized I had been holding onto layers of frustration from situations I had dismissed as insignificant. Through Allison’s guidance—combining meditation and intentional release—I was able to access and let go of that stored tension. By the end of the practice, I felt noticeably lighter, more at ease in my body, and clearer in my mind. It was a powerful, eye-opening experience that I’d highly recommend to anyone looking for a deeper level of emotional and physical release.”
