The Aligned Health Model
​The conventional medical model is excellent at triage, treatment and stabilization. It addresses disease and illness at its worst and provides life-saving procedures and treatments in critical cases. Yet, conventional medicine sometimes falls short in addressing the root cause of chronic disease due to time constraints, conventional training and bias. Chronic disease then progresses and often treatment becomes very expensive, costing the healthcare consumer at large billions of dollars annually.  

      The Aligned Health Model thrives in mitigating illness through prevention, proactive lifestyle modification and a holistic perspective. It takes into account a person's story, their biology, genetic predisposition and epigenetic influence on it. It ultimately saves the individual hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical costs during a lifetime. It supports the individual in establishing health promoting habits to avoid the "fate" of genetic predisposition. 

        I have been trained in both. I have worked in a surgical environment and have seen surgery give people their lives back by improving function and mobility. I have seen medications help people make major shifts in their brain chemistry or significantly reduce their risk of developing blood clots. There is a place for surgery and medications. 
​
       And there is a place where the individual has the power to determine their own health fate. A place where their lifestyle choices, data driven risk analysis and prevention protocols, and mindset shift and spiritual wellness meet to create optimal wellness. This is where we practice. This is where we live--in this place of empowerment.

What clients have shared about their experience with Allison:

"Your warm inviting spirit, your intuition about me and what I needed in small manageable doses, has guided me in my work to this day. And now going through menopause and all of the unspoken mental health challenges that come with it ... brain fog, anxiety ... and how my diet needed to change in a more drastic way than I already have... ...I am always eager to learn more so that I can share with the community I now serve. I adore you and always feel a sense of calm in your presence." -MW 

"Allison, I could write a book on how you helped me, and sure do wish you were still my go to for my health and well-being. You taught me soooo much about the importance of how food is medicine along with so much more. You were always so kind, understanding, and actually took the time to listen, and go above and beyond to help me be, and to feel my best. For that I will always be grateful." -DS 

"I feel very grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Allison along my healing journey. She is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and has a unique ability to see and treat the whole person.

Above all else, what deeply resonates with me about Allison’s style is the way she's helped me to realize that my body is resilient, strong and profoundly intelligent, which has helped me to make the shifts necessary for healing. She helped me to understand it wasn’t about a quick fix, but rather the path towards healing lies in discovering my body’s unique formula to thrive for the rest of my life. 

I've always felt seen and heard during our appointments and she has always met me where I was at. I appreciate how she listens to my personal health goals as opposed to pushing her agenda. I also appreciate the gentle nudges she’s given me over the years, reminding me of my ability to make changes for greater wellbeing that sometimes seemed impossible. 

Allison wants to make sure I understand WHY she’s recommending something and takes the time to teach me about various systems in my body etc. Understanding the WHY has been critical in making the sometimes challenging changes necessary for healing.

To truly believe healing is possible, to then experience it and to have Allison’s support as a practitioner, healer and friend along the way has been such a gift. May everyone on a healing journey have a partner like Allison by their side!" P 

"This is my fifth day on the [regimen]. My morning walk was the strongest I've had since I got sick. I have an overall sense of well-being...I'm gaining more confidence every day that regaining good health is doable." - JS

"Allison, I just wanted to thank you for my patient visit. You were so organized with absolutely everything I needed to hear. I definitely needed a reset. The food list and your associated suggestions were right on the mark." - BR
"Working with Allison has been life changing. She helped me through the most vulnerable and fear-filled time of my life through thoughtful communication, incredible knowledge and continual support...She has an impressive body of knowledge that integrates western and alternative medicine, her balanced and extremely thorough approach felt calming, healing and empowering. Most importantly, each time, she left me feeling hopeful that these symptoms did not have to be lifelong and I began to feel empowered to heal myself." -LP

"You were willing to work within my limitations. You pushed me, but also gave me room to come to my own conclusions. I never felt judgement from you, I felt supported and encouraged. I really liked that out of the many things I needed to do, you told me to pick 3 out of however many. We continued that until I was doing everything! It made the process manageable instead of intimidating and I feel like I was better able to achieve long term success because of that. I still have many of the habits you helped me develop." -GS ​
