MEET ALLISON (she/her)

Want to break free from the all-or-nothing mindset when it comes to your wellness journey?

Meet your Minneapolis Behavioral Wellness Coach who will help you take care of yourself without stressing out about the scale.

I’m Allison, and I help folks who have spent 10 + years dieting, develop a healthier relationship with food, exercise, and body image. 

When I was teenager, I became interested in how food and exercise impacted our lives. I eventually became a fitness professional and started to study nutrition dietetics in college.

This innocent fascination of food, nutrition, and exercise later escalated into binge eating disorder, then floated along as disordered eating. 

I kept dieting as a way to try to “control” my problems, and chase a body image I thought was acceptable. 

I always say 89% of my brain space was focused on food, and my exercise regimen, which left little space for anything else.

In 2014, I read the book Intuitive Eating, and felt so connected to the concept that come 2017, I became a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor & Wellness Coach in Minneapolis, and virtually around the world.

I finally found something that I’ve never had to “start over” with again.
Intuitive Eating, is not a “wagon” I have to hop on and off.

Intuitive Eating is life-proof, meaning it allows you to be peaceful with food, exercise, and your body no matter the season of life you’re in.

If you’ve struggled with food, yo-yo dieting, and feeling uncomfortable in your body, I'm here to give you compassion and help you out.

I'll help you get to the place of waking up each day feeling peace because you don't have the desire to diet ever again.

You deserve a life in which your brainspace isn’t taken up by food, calorie counting, or fixating on the mirror.

 Other Fun Facts:

 
  • I went to Louisiana State University on a graduate assistantship program and earned my Master’s in Kinesiology 

  • I have a rescue dog, Nova, that I love adventuring with. She’s a husky mix that essentially makes up a sled-dog, we keep active!

  • If I had to choose, I’d go with a mountain vacation over a beach vacation. I love outdoor hiking (especially alongside a lake) and the serotonin that comes with fresh air. My ideal night after hiking involves a fireplace, a cozy blanket, and hot chocolate. 

  • New Girl, Schitt’s Creek, and Ted Lasso are some of my favorite TV shows

  • My first ever job was working at a Dairy Queen - I still have 90% of the Blizzard ingredients memorized

  • Aldi and Trader Joe’s are my favorite grocery stores, I love seasonal products at both!

  • I'm been lucky to call 3 states home: Wisconsin, Louisiana, and Minnesota [my current location]!
