MEET COACH ALLISON



Hi! I'm Allison. Registered Nurse, Holistic Health & Lifestyle Coach and Functional Blood Chemistry Specialist (aka Integrative Practitioner), but I'm not one for titles. 

First and foremost, I am a wife and mother. I am athletic, outdoorsy, a country girl at heart, aspiring small scale homesteader and an extrovert who is fiercely passionate about all things health and helping clients become their best.

I love my family, being in nature, snowboarding, hiking, paddleboarding, spending time at the lake, on my homestead, dreamcatchers, my alone time and yet, deep quality time.

I teach men and women how to reclaim their health, and life through taking personal responsibility around nutrition and lifestyle habits, mastering our human, biological-foundational basics, and aligning their personal values, beliefs and life with their goals.  I believe these are key to living a healthier, happier life physically, mentally, emotionally and even spiritually. You’ll learn to have fun and enjoy the life you were always meant to live!

Seeing others succeed and reaching their full potential when it comes to their health and life is truly life giving to me!


I'M NOT YOUR AVERAGE HEALTH COACH

I'm a Health & Lifestyle Coach navigating entrepreneurship and social media alongside homesteading, motherhood and continually growing my relationship with my husband. FYI: Instagram is my favorite platform for all things health, lifestyle and is where you'll find me the most.


A DECADE IN THE MAKING, BUT I DIDN'T KNOW IT...

I left my job as a Veterinary Technician and sold my last horse in 2012, stepping into the human health and lifestyle ring. While in nursing school, I found a new "hobby" in fitness classes and eventually coaching. The transformations I witnessed in myself and others through nutrition and lifestyle changes was truly amazing. People were losing weight, reversing chronic diseases, reducing medications and had overall improvement in their quality of life and happiness.

However, that approach was not echoed in the conventional healthcare system. I thought it wouldn't bother me...but it did. So, I continued my personal and profession education, left the conventional healthcare system, started ART Health Co. ...and here we are! 

I worked in the conventional healthcare industry for 8 years in departments ranging from the clinic, emergency department, hospital med/surg, to ICU stepdown and Cardiovascular Surgical stepdown units. 


EMPOWERMENT, FREEDOM, HAPPINESS & SELF-RESPONSBILITY THROUGH EDUCATION AND AUTHENTICITY

is at the core of ART Health Co. I don't think there is ONE WAY to do health, or life. However, I feel the current standards are set at average and mediocre, yielding average and mediocre health and life satisfaction results. So, I have set out to share the power of knowledge and action implementation in health and life: physically, mentally, emotionally, and much more.


A DAY IN THE LIFE:

When I am not coaching clients, you can find me spending time with my family, taking care of our modern homestead, outside, almost always barefoot, working out or being generally active, reading a book, researching and always working inward. I am an eternal student, forever working on myself, knowing the best gift I can give, is my best self... you can't pour from an empty cup!


IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS

Solo time & quality time. Family. Nature. Reflection, planning, setting goals and making lists. Kombucha in a wine glass, water in a mason jar, tea in a coffee mug and the occasional Margarita or Ward 8. Deep conversations & connecting with like-minded people.


MY ROLES

I am not one for titles or the status quo. I don't like being confined to the idea of what certain roles mean. I fill these "roles" in large, to do them differently than they've been done. Maybe that resonates with you and is one of the reasons your here too?
