We have the power to heal ourselves
“It is no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society.”
About me, Allie
There’s so much more to this beautiful experience than we can scientifically explain. That’s where the worlds of intuition and spirituality come in. I’m a BPS-accredited psychologist, somatic coach, and highly sensitive creative human that used to work in advertising and the tech startup space. I’ve been a writer since I was 8, trying to explain more than can be seen, more than can be said.

Our education system ignores mental health and spiritual matters. We grow up not knowing how to relate, process emotions, or live in a peaceful connection to Self. And yet, if we remain disconnected from our emotions long enough, we can experience anxiety, depression, and illness.
In 2018, I went through a mysterious illness and a spiritual awakening that I call my Return To Self. I took 9 months off (coincidentally the time needed to grow a new human being) and began again. I left a job, a relationship, old traumas and patterns, and went deep within. I submerged myself in books, podcasts, coaching, therapy, yoga, nutrition, doctor’s appointments; everything I could get my hands on to heal.
I believe that we aren’t living in harmony with the planet, each other, or ourselves. That’s why I teach reconnection. Our bodies and minds are deeply connected. We are connected. To perform at our best and bring joy into the world, we must each begin by healing ourselves and that begins with self-reflection and awareness.
“One thing I’ve learned the hard way: our body knows. We always know.”
Today, I’m aligned with my self and my purpose, and it gives me all the best feels to share my learnings with others. Especially those who’ve found themselves realizing that something has to change. This point can come through burnout, relationship problems, a persistent feeling of emptiness, or even addiction. The antidote is re-reconnecting to ourselves, our purpose, and our joy. Always Return.

We all have histories, traumas, and backgrounds that make us unique. It’s how we reframe our stories that determines our happiness.
