"I first met Alison when I was in my third trimester of pregnancy and experiencing quite a bit of back and leg pain. Having been a massage junkie my whole adult life, I am very picky about massage therapists, and let me tell you, she is the BEST I've ever encountered. Almost 4 years later I am still going to see her a few times a month because I can't give up the quality of life she brings me. She's a bodywork genius, and I do not use that term lightly. She's incredibly intuitive and knows exactly what I need and delivers. It's just the right amount of pressure and her knowledge of various modalities ensure that she tailors each massage perfectly for my needs. Cannot recommend her highly enough!!!! She will change your life."

"Alison is a gifted, infinitely knowledgeable healer. With her wide range of certifications, she draws upon expertise ranging from sports medicine to maternity care. On top of being the smartest in the field, she is also the funniest and is super down to earth and rad. I shy away from the words "healing" and "holistic" when I read them because I don't feel comfortable with a certain style of culture that uses those terms flippantly, but I don't bat an eyelash using them when describing Alison's work because it feels like a fact-based practice. She heals. I have highly recommended her services to all of my friends especially pregnant women. After seeing Alison I always feel like I have a new lease on life."

"Alison is a game changer!!  I have been consistently working with her for about a year and a half now, after receiving a gift for her services from a girlfriend.  At the time I had been building a very demanding business as well as being a mom and wife. I was on the edge of burn out with zero energy, drive or an inner spark...in short, I didn't recognize who I was anymore. At first,  I didn't quite know what to expect and thought I was just going to get a massage but Alison's offerings go much deeper than that if needed. Alison is not only technically gifted but her emotional and spiritual guidance has helped me (and continues to) get through very major shifts in my life. She has helped me manage my stress and general life challenges through bodywork, nutrition, and spiritual mentorship and has allowed me to get in touch with a fuller & more authentic self. Alison is a rare & beautiful gift who truly cares about her clients' well-being. I can’t recommend her enough!"

"Alison is a healer. There is no other way to state it. She has helped me heal from injury, curtail pain that was getting worse, and deeply, deeply relax. I am a former licensed massage therapist who is very particular about massage. Most massage therapists are not consistent enough with their touch, for repeat visits (just my opinion, obviously.) Alison blows me away with her intuitive touch, and her extensive knowledge of several modalities, and her decades of experience. She truly is the best bodyworker I've ever had the privilege of going to. Go see her, and you'll be forever grateful!"

"Alison's genius is that her multi-disciplinary training and long experience are coupled with an intuitive understanding of how injuries "settle in" to alter your movement and restrict your mobility without you even acknowledging it consciously.  You may go to her because your back is stiff or your neck hurts when you turn your head, but one session with her will convince you that the solution isn't just "petting" the sore spot--any massage therapist can do that. I've had back issues for years, despite being athletic and active, and it wasn't until I got to middle age that I understood that old pain/injury was slowly turning me into a slow, cautious oldster.  Alison's evaluation is simple and direct, and she will propose a treatment plan that actually works; she withstood my skeptical cross-exam (I'm a lawyer), and she suggested alternatives as the treatment progressed. I thought I'd have to deal with mobility restriction for the rest of my life. I was wrong. She's bright and inquisitive, and quietly explores with you the interaction of movement/pain issues with life issues (for me: tough job, menopause, midlife existentialist dread, etc); her therapeutic touch and quiet understanding is truly her gift.  She respects your limitations and welcomes your input, and most important, she listens to what you say and what your body says (sometimes, not the same thing). I'm a dedicated Alison fan, and you should be, too."

"Alison is an amazing massage therapist, she truly has magical hands!  Alison has been working on my problematic back for several years, and her treatments never fail to bring deep and profound relief.  She is highly empathic, with an incredible intuition that enables her to know where the pain is even before words can be exchanged! Alison also has a range of modalities that can be included in the healing process which greatly expand the range of options and pathways to healing.  I'd be hard-pressed to imagine anyone coming off of the table after a session with Alison, and not re-booking immediately! She is truly one of a kind, and certainly one of LA's premier massage therapists/bodyworkers!"

“Where do I begin? First of all, Alison is incredibly knowledgeable and intuitive. She’s just about as real as they come. She’s funny, supportive & loving. Intuitively, she feels it all, the good the bad & the ugly. She knows what’s going on, even without asking. I started seeing her in 2013 when I was pregnant with my son. She did amazing work on me at that time & even did a light induction to help naturally move my body towards labor. After the birth, I saw her for postpartum work & I have continued to see her all these years. She has helped me through many tough times in my life. Physically, she has healed my body on many levels. But emotionally, she has helped me transform & heal myself more than I could imagine. She has motivated me to become a better me, not just through her healing hands, but through her healing words. She is honest, insightful & a strong force of feminine energy. She is truly an angel and I’m so beyond grateful for her. Besides the fact that she is amazing and incredible human being, I must say.. Hands down THE best massages I’ve ever experienced have been in the hands of Alison!”

"I can't recommend Alison enough.  I have chronic neck pain with radiating shoulder, wrist, and hand pain; with a job that requires me to sit at a desk/computer all day.  Over the last two years, Alison has helped me through times of acute pain (which come less and less often now) as well as through times of simple physical and emotional exhaustion.  She always seems to just "know" what you need and you always feel better after a session. She really cares about her clients and loves what she does, and it truly comes out in her work."
