About Allison

Allison writes, sketches, and connects the dots about the courageous, messy work of moving from lifeless to lifeful. After more than a decade of inner suffering and sleepwalking through life, she arrived at something previously inconceivable: an in-body existence. Everyday, ordinary aliveness—in all its brilliance.

It wasn’t easy, but it was unbelievably worth it.

May every person feel alive before they die.
