About me
I'm Alyson,
I have worn so many hats and I refuse to limit the potential of what my service to others will entail... but one red thread through everything is:
COMING HOME TO THE BODY.
My story began as the "one who had it all together" - until life slapped death at my doorstep and I had my first encounter with grief. The pain felt so unmanageable- grief turned to rage and rage turned into numbing. I numbed myself through prescription pills and alcohol and kept pretending I was okay....
Until I wasn't....my body shut down, I couldn't stay awake, brain fog, exhaustion, inflammation- eventually being diagnosed with Lyme Disease. Now what? More pills.... I couldn't feel anything- dying inside. I prayed and looked for ways to heal myself, to get out of this hole and feel again.
I went on to throw myself into the holistic natural healing world- first starting in gut health and using food as medicine to heal my Lyme Disease- then to yoga, reiki, ayurveda, herbalism, breathwork, and anger work and plant medicine.
This healing journey has taken me to the deserts of Egypt, waterfalls of Bali, Mountains of Peru, and Lakes of Guatemala (to name a few) to meet some of the best teachers/healers and awaken different aspects of myself through the lands. I led international retreats for others to come home to what's already within them through somatic movement and facilitating medicine retreats/trainings with a plant ally Acacia.
The plant allies have been supportive in helping me see clearly, know deeply, and keep showing up as authentically as I can in my humanness. My recent journey took me deep into the body, detoxing through cleansing practices, and I feel so lit up to share how we can support our systems during these intense times on the planet. To create space and clear energies to step into new levels of our evolution.
I walk the path alongside you, as an anchor, a reminder, and a witness to your own remembering, coming home to yourself and truly knowing deeply why you came here.
