Following a cancer diagnosis at the end of 2020, Alison took the pause she didn’t know she needed. It became a turning point. Through deep reflection, she came to a powerful realization: the leaders we admire most—the ones who drive impact without losing themselves—aren’t always the smartest in the room. They’re the wisest. And wisdom comes from recognizing their layers.

Today, Alison helps clients navigate growth, reinvention, influence, and meaning with clarity and guts. Her coaching blends Brooklyn-direct honesty with California-cool calm and a global perspective. She brings both challenge and compassion into every room—whether working 1:1 or leading transformational group sessions. Her clients include senior executives, physicians, founders, and other high-achieving professionals across industries who are ready to stop performing and start leading from the depth of the layers they’ve earned.

Alison has lived and worked around the world, studied biomechanics, AI, and global religions—and yes, she once hired a 2,000-pound bison for a client dinner (ask her about it). Her lens is broad, and her belief is simple: every individual already holds the power to become their most grounded, impactful, and wise self. Sometimes, they just need a coach to help them see it.

She’s also a dedicated dog mom to a sweet senior Labrador named Riley—who reminds her daily that presence, loyalty, and joy are leadership qualities too.
