Embody Life Holistic Wellness

01/29/2026

Michael and I had our first date 4 years ago today. We met online as midlifers in our late 40s. Both of us on our own journey over the past many decades of exploration and growth...trying to find our way in this wild world as singles searching for connection.

When we met, we both just knew that we had found our person...our life partner. It felt clear and aligned. And, we had no idea what we were setting sail on with me having my son full-time (who was 12 almost 13) and what jumping right into full on partnership and co-parenting would be like.

It has been anything but easy but rather we have been thrust into the trenches of our own healing in relationship while also ushering a teenager through portals of his own shadow and struggle.

I work with a lot of midlife women...some married and still searching, many single/divorced and longing for that partnership.

What I can say is that it is very possible to meet someone later in life and it is a VERY different experience coming together at this juncture of our journey.

There is so much richness in this time of life on the whole....midlife...later 40s/50s...and, it is incredibly important to understand that our relationships are going to be uniquely shaped as a result of the decades that we have already lived and experienced the world.

To all of my fellow midlifers who are in the quest for connection in partnership...keep the faith...do the work on yourselves around your expectations of what a relationship looks and feels like at this juncture of life...and stay open to the possibility that the right person will land in your orbit at the exact right moment.

I am out here for support and guidance in any way that I can be!

Keeping the faith,
Alison 🙏🥰❤

Just 1 image, for now, from our magical retreat last week as I digest and acclimate the experience on the whole....

Lives expanded, changed, shifted, opened, grounded, and clarified.

I will also share that I feel so deeply, in my bones, the essentialness of authentic and vulnerable connection in these times....and LAUGHTER...a safe space to BE as messy as we need to and to feel held in all of our human vulnerabilities...

I am re-entering life feeling altered, full of love, belly sore from laughing, and HOPEFUL in the direction we are moving in for humanity.

More to come!!

Sending so much love near and far in these sticky times...Please reach out anytime if you need connection and/or support.

I am here. 🙏

I am starting out this year feeling a wave of grief...of course intermixed with the grief is a bubbling of excitement and anticipation of what is to come in this next year ahead.

But, right now, I am feeling deeply sad. Sad at the state of the world, the extreme injustices that are at play. The innumerable families who were torn apart, the countless losses of lives. At the uncertainty of the future for our children given some dangerous and harmful choices being made by people in power....

In my own world, the extreme struggle that I am witnessing in my teenager and the helplessness I feel as his mother...

As I was walking around my neighborhood the morning of the 1st...feeling the magnitude of it all...exhaling and striving to drop down into my body...I was alerted by a passerby about this beauty in the tree camouflaged magnificently.

I felt like I was looking for a sign, some divine intervention signaling to me that all is truly well.

Some of you know that I have a deep familial connection to owl’s through my Nana, aka WHO. A lovely story about that for another time, but for now this wise gorgeous owl came into my vision and I am embodying the signs and messages.

So, wherever the start of this new year finds you...sink in...stay present and awake with it all...allow it to cycle through you...trust your process and journey...and, be patient with yourselves! 💖🌈☮️🫶

Sending LOVE near and far🥰
🙏Alison

This year has brought its own churning in relationships... road bumps, detours, endings, beginnings, twists, sharp turns...on repeat.

I feel like at the end of this year, we are being spit out in ways that are more anchored and grounded in stability. In truth. In authenticity.

Just a little shout out to my partner Michael and this wild, intense, healing, and transformative journey we have been on in this past year of our relationship.

We have navigated A LOT and here we are...still standing, still next to each other, still committed to each other and to our love.

It is my belief that people give up too quickly on relationships. **Disclaimer: in no way am I referred to a physically abusive situation -- that is a whole other conversation....

I am talking about the fact that relationships are fu***ng hard. That they demand us to look so deeply at our wounds and patterns while simultaneously navigating another's...all while trying to function, parent, work, run a household, do all the things to take care of ourselves AND enjoy life.

I think people give up too soon. I almost have countless times in the past 4 years with Michael. But what I am seeing and feeling so deeply is that when we can brave the fire, repeatedly, and mix in some good doses of fun and pleasure, the relationship can be rich with gold.

So, cheers to all of you brave souls staying in the fire of conscious relationship and choosing over and over and over again to not run but rather to stay and allow yourselves to be transformed and healed in amazing ways.

Creating safe spaces for women to come and BE….to drop the armor…unwind some layers of tension and inner strife…to feel heard, seen, and witnessed…to move their bodies in new and liberating ways…to rest and digest their experiences of life…to gain access to the truth of who they are, even for a moment…is my passion and purpose in this life.

To create, provide, and nurture these spaces for women to land in themselves, yes, absolutely in person in the group setting, but also in my 1:1, is my mission in life.

I am fiercely supportive of women standing tall in who they are, tapping into their innate power and wisdom, to reside IN THEIR BODIES, to gain access to their hearts removing the masks of societal influence, and to move forward in their lives from a place of empowered alignment.

BIG exhale after another magical Women’s Solstice Event…feeling the POWER and COURAGE and STRENGTH and COMPASSION and LOVE and REVERENCE that we, as women, can hold for each other. And, how deeply impactful this is for our healing and growth.

I am out here holding the space and container as we collectively and individually navigate the wild ups and downs of life. I am here for the journey!

🌟Perhaps 2026 is the year you say YES to your healing?
🌟Perhaps this new year is the year we connect?

It would be a deep honor to do so and to be in this dance together. 🥰💃✨

Link is on my website to schedule some time together: https://www.embodymylife.com

Solstice Blessings to All,
Alison 🙏💖

Are you needing a de-thaw this Winter on every level? This past year has been WILD to say the least....So much has accumulated in the body, the mind, the heart...

I am feeling, more than ever, how absolutely critical it is to carve out time for ourselves as women. To tend, to process and digest, to be in connection, to move our bodies without rigidity...to soften and melt and release and open and BE...with ourselves and other women on their path.

In combination with an entire week of sunshine and warmth, ocean and pool, breaching whales, gorgeous views, healthy and nourishing food, embodiment practices that drop you deeply into yourselves on every level....truly TRANSFORMATIONAL.

We are 1 month away from our annual pilgrimage down to the southern tip of the Baja where desert meets ocean and lives magically change. I have just 1 room left for either a single or double occupancy....

This will likely be my *only* bigger retreat of 2026 so if you have been feeling that call, perhaps this is the moment to jump in! Payment plans are quite welcomed.

Below is the link with more details about the retreat and I am always happy to connect 1:1 if you are feeling the call! 🥰

After nearly 30 years immersed in the world of embodied and holistic healing, I truly believe the most important piece of the puzzle is cultivating the capacity to sit with oneself. To breathe with the whole array of emotions and sensations, and to gain access to that well of ground and calm from deep within. Not easy work, but SO essential.

A little walk and talk (excuse the nasally deep breathing 😂 I am getting over a cold). Message coming through loud and clear! Hope it lands for you too🙏🫶💞

I am always out here for support and connection. Reach out anytime! 🌟
