Testimonials
"Allison is the most emphatic, intuitive, and talented therapist I have ever had the pleasure to have help me. She is very educated and experienced. I have a very difficult and painful physical condition and Allison gives me the best relief of all the remedies I have tried. She has helped me with flexibility and mobility, that has changed my life and given me a much better quality of life. I cannot thank her enough for all the work she has done.”

"I came to Allison a couple years ago with frozen shoulder in my left shoulder. I had been to several practitioners before her who did not know how to fix or even alleviate the problem correctly. I was in excruciating pain and almost zero mobility. Through her loving touch, myofascial release, cupping, and intuitive knowledge of how the body - I am happy to report that my shoulder is completely healed and back to normal operation. I was floored. She is gentle but firm and treats the body as one completely living ecosystem vs a bunch of separate unrelated body parts. All the parts of the body need to work together to thrive and she helps to facilitate this reprogramming and reconnection.”

"As a highly-sensitive person that offers service to others, I am extremely selective about who I receive bodywork from. It's such a personal thing. From the first time I met Allison, her presence is such that you feel trusting and open before even landing on her table or mat. The experiences I've had since then have only confirmed that initial feeling. Some people just convey ease and naturalness through their chosen expression. I have experienced both Therapeutic and Shiatsu massages with Allison and each is deeply nourishing in its own specific way. From her technical command to her intuitive guidance to her physical strength and bedside manner, Allison's bodywork is among the best I have received. "
