I’m Allison— Traditionally would introduce myself as a Doctor of Physical Therapy clinician and professor, fiercely advocating for physical therapists in preventative medicine. My passion? educating the public on preventing chronic diseases that derail our ability to live life, fully. My mission is simple: to uncomplicate the tangled mess that is healthcare. Just because the science is complicated doesn’t mean applying it to your life should be.

I’ve always been a bit of an outcast in the professional world. While my heart beats for health and wellness, I’m also a strong-willed New England native who’s lived a thousand lives— I’ve always struggled with the notion that we have to pick one route in life. That we are defined by our 9-5’s. I’ve had a gravitational pull toward living a life of constantly trying new things, failing time after time, and ultimately finding the daily beauty of life with each spontaneous, some may say impulsive, decision.

You name it, I’ve lived it— Doctor and bartender in bustling New York City, barista and self-proclaimed artist by the New England beaches, professional-am soccer player in Central America, nomad on the road through the Pacific Northwest, and the adventures are just beginning. Although my CV reads as an astute straight-edge academic- I have more tattoos than I can count and a hair color that changes with my mood; I can't stop dancing through the streets of Brooklyn and am madly in love with live music. I’m here to shatter the notion that we have to fit one mold in this life.

So - that brings me to this space, my personal, creative project; more so, an experiment—cultivating conversation through a blend of my professional expertise and personal adventures. Drawing from experiences of a lifetime full of loss, death, grief, financial struggles, battling mental health, close calls with my physical health and turning towards academic achievements, spontaneous global solo travels, ultra endurance sports, climbing mountains I have no business tackling and constantly yearning for self discovery; this platform aims to simplify life’s complexities to learn how to, well, simply feel alive, again. From trying latest health and wellness trends, to discussing a myriad of personal growth topics, join me while I take on all the unforeseen challenges this crazy life has to offer.
