TESTIMONIALS

"I’ve had the privilege of working with Alyson since 2017—first through her Neurogenic Yoga Workshops, private sessions during my pregnancy, and later through virtual healing during the pandemic. Alyson’s presence is compassionate, her knowledge vast, and her work truly life-changing. Over the years, I’ve witnessed not only her mastery as a trauma-informed practitioner but also the heart and integrity she brings to everything she teaches.. It’s an honor to now collaborate with her in bringing this profoundly needed, trauma-informed work to the world through her workshops, trainings, and series at Saltara Healing."

— Tara Marie Hoxha, Co-Founder + COO of Saltara Healing

"One of the main things I experienced when guided by Alyson in her one-on-one sessions was her endless compassion. She's committed to offering a space of total acceptance, which allowed me to go deeply into painful and challenging experiences, knowing I was safe. She immediately tapped into my capacities and worked with me to find what tools of movement, breath, and awareness could help me navigate through those places of shame, grief, and aloneness. Alyson's presence as a facilitator and teacher is generous, gentle, wise, and intelligent. She opened a huge space where I could freely feel and grow; the depth of that change was profound." 

— Marcela Widrig, Fierce Embodiment Founder, Somatic Bodywork Practitioner

"I hate doing yoga; I prefer being in my head. But I know that the practice connects me in a beneficial way. My experience working with Alyson is as good as it gets. Even when a part of me wants to push into discomfort or judge myself for where I cannot go, Alyson always gives me permission to dial it back. Eventually, I find myself thinking that it actually feels good to move and feel in my body." 

— Ted Riskin LCSW 

"At a stalemate, after years of therapy, my Internal Family Systems-informed sessions with Alyson uncovered new layers of feelings that I had not allowed myself to access. It was incredibly freeing."

"I’ve taken classes with Alyson since 2007, long enough sometimes to hear her wise and calming words still. She is an exceptional yoga instructor. Her classes incorporate elements from the wide variety of styles she has studied. In 2015, she started teaching Neurogenic Yoga®, w/Tension Release Exercises (TRE®), starting with yoga as preparation in my head. It’s a fascinating technique. During the experience, my body feels odd, but she teaches us to trust that, so it’s also fun, and afterward, I feel revitalized and uplifted."

"Today's session with Alyson was powerful! Connecting with parts of yourself that are scary yet instrumental in healing in a supportive space is transformative. I look forward to more of the process and healing!"
