Her classes are warm, fun, and always applicable. She regularly offers online Sounder Sleep System and Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement® courses.
Alison’s own journey of healing and discovery began with a Feldenkrais class in 1998 that changed her life. Feldenkrais resolved Alison’s long-standing back/neck issues and taught her to move with greater ease and grace, both internally and through life. Her work is also informed by her deep engagement with Non-Violent Communication (NVC) and her longtime meditation practice. Alison is passionate about supporting others to find the small, doable pieces in themselves that lead to great insight and transformation.
