Intake Form

I am grateful I was led to Alison’s presence.  Her specific blend of skills is entirely unique.  I’ve had so much body work in my life, and mind and soul therapies as well: none come close to matching what Alison does for me.  She has helped me identify and release tensions and traumas in my body – both new and old.  This concept of traumas that are “kept” in the body– many since childhood – has been pivotal in my recovery process.

“Alison is a master in her approach. She hears what is occurring energetically within a person’s body and helps them come into alignment consciously. The integration of her bodywork, talking and teaching make for an empowering process of self-discovery.”

Alison’s touch is powered by an energy force that she quietly summons to her aid, for my benefit.  In turn, she calls me to my own healing, inviting my full Self to heal and my own spirit to lead my body towards continuing that healing process. I cannot recommend Alison more highly.  She is a vessel for healing and light, and I am deeply grateful for her presence on my journey.

 

When Alison leads me in a guided awareness exercise, her calm, soothing voice takes me into visual imagery that expresses what my body and soul are feeling.  Connections are made and healing occurs more directly and much faster than in any talk therapy I’ve ever experienced. She is filled with insights and metaphors that have supported and guided my healing journey.  She taught me to face my fear of cancer by moving through the fear, instead of being gripped by it. When my feelings are too much to face on my own, Alison helps me untangle them.  Even when I’m not in her presence, Alison is with me every day.

“Alison ….helped me to heal and change my life. She helped me find my personal power….to become the person I was always meant to be. She is a healer of great strength, caring and integrity and I trust her completely with my mind, body, and spirit.”

“As I worked with Alison my body slowly awakened from a deep sleep. Blockages opened and energy began to move. Once deadened from the outside in, I became alive from the inside out. How do you thank someone for giving you back your life?”

“Alison is the best body worker I have ever met. Her wisdom, nurturing and skill, along with the variety of approaches she uses make for an extremely rich healing relationship. Through feeling my life story in my body I have healed on a much deeper level than would be possible through talking therapy alone.”

“Alison’s work helped me overcome chronic muscle spasms. She easily identifies the areas that need healing and release…. I feel touched on a cellular level. Bodymind Repatterning provides me with a map to understand and free my body and emotions.”

I became a client of Alison’s as I heard she was a great massage therapist. However, after several months, our sessions deepened, to include body-centered counseling and energy work.  Before long, I was able to address deep-seated emotional challenges and find profound healing, strengthening the foundation of my work in the world and supporting my spiritual growth. Alison is a uniquely gifted therapist who combines a range of therapeutic modalities to create a gentle yet powerful approach to healing body, mind and spirit. I recommend her enthusiastically.

Alison is a special practitioner. Her exceptional diagnostic skills and her grounded, compassionate interventions have helped me through some long-standing personal blockages. And she has helped me to trust that all of the human energies, from the physical to the emotional to the spiritual, are fair game when it comes to healing. I am highly grateful to count her amongst the supporters and teachers in my life.
