Coaching for leaders navigating the moments that matter most.
"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again... who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly."
Theodore Roosevelt
Who I work with
Scaling Founders
You're building something real, and the pace of growth is outrunning the structures around you. The external pressures are mounting. Underneath it all you’re often carrying the heavy weight of self doubt that you have what it takes.
Leaders Expanding
You're stepping into a bigger role — more visibility, more complexity, more at stake. The skills that got you here feel both essential and insufficient. This is the moment to get clear on how you lead, what you stand for, and how you show up when the pressure is highest.
Leaders Between Chapters
You've built something, led something, achieved what you set out to achieve. The financial pressure has often lifted. Yet the questions that remain are more complex and foundational: what is your true purpose, what brings you fulfilment, what legacy do you want to leave behind.
My coaching process combines the structure and rigor of executive coaching with a keen focus on the deep inner work lying underneath the surface. We move between the two to ensure you are not just meeting your goals but more importantly growing into the human you want to become.
Real change — the kind that shifts how you lead, how you decide, and how you relate to the work you're doing — doesn't happen in a single conversation. My engagements start with a minimum of 12 sessions over 3-6 months because that's what it takes to move from insight to lasting change. The clients who get the most from this work are those who are ready to look underneath the surface — not just fix what's in front of them.
When appropriate, some of my coaching engagements also include a partnership with trusted psychedelic plant medicine providers to help release the hold of limiting thought patterns or beliefs, opening channels of heightened creativity for the next phase or processing grief of the old so that the new can come forth. We weave the insights from these experiences back into our coaching sessions. Psychedelics are an incredibly powerful tool. Sustained growth and transformation happens outside the ceremony.
How I work
Hi, I’m Allison
I've spent 25 years at the intersection of leadership, innovation, and impact — advising founders and leading teams in the education and healthcare industries, from large established organizations to early-stage startups. I understand firsthand the excitement, the intensity, and the particular challenges of each.
On a personal level, the last 15 years have taken me through burnout, motherhood, moving countries, and deep questions about impact and legacy. Along the way I found tools that changed how I understand transformation — mindfulness, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and intentional work with psychedelic plant medicines among them. They've shaped not just who I am but how I work with my clients.
I hold an MBA from Harvard Business School and am a certified professional coach at the PCC level with the International Coaching Federation and Co-Active Training Institute. I also hold a certification in psychedelic therapies and integration from Psychedelics Today.
