In their own words

Below are testimonials and stories from some of my past clients. Though many clients started in a situation similar to yours, together we pushed past their limiting beliefs, logistical challenges and obstacles, and built the skills they needed to help them level up and embrace a greater vision of themselves. I hope that you not only see your story reflected in theirs but the possibility and hope for what you can do with the right help and guidance from me.

"After years of frustrating, circular conversation about our long-term retirement plans that never seemed to reach any positive conclusion, we decided to reach out for Alison’s help to short-circuit the dialogue, clarify our goals and start taking action. In a matter of a few short hours we were able to distill the things that needed our immediate attention, things that had been a distraction and kept us from being able to get to the larger questions. By holding us accountable, we started crossing those things off the to-do list. Now, just months after starting coaching with Alison, we have chosen where we want to retire and are in the process of purchasing our future home there, even though retirement is almost 3years away."

"Alison is truly a gifted coach and mentor. She has an intuitive ability to help you see your blind spots without creating any sense of guilt or shame. Much to the contrary, the way she helps you on this journey is filled with encouragement, curiosity, and a beautiful playfulness that fosters positive and lasting change."

Miriam Delosantos, Physician’s Assistant

“Alison Whiteacre is an extremely gifted coach. Her style is intuitive, empathetic, and emotionally intelligent. Working with Alison allowed me to identify and cut through the clutter of my emotional blocks, reframe outdated beliefs and release many old habits that were hindering my growth and happiness. Alison provided a safe space for me to build my confidence, and find the clarity I needed to create and carry out a profound and sustainable action plan.”

Lisa Gillette, TV Executive, Ret.

"Alison was a breath of fresh air as my coach. I came in with little knowledge and direction about what coaching was, or what I wanted to work on. She took the time to get to know me first; she asked about where I was from, my background, my current family life situation, and even asked each person's name. I loved that she took the time and initiative to go the extra mile. Once our coaching sessions began, she did an excellent job of asking insightful questions, and I never felt like she was leading me in a direction of her own. Alison was very clear about being a guide with a minimalist approach. She also held my feet to the fire, which I liked because it was exactly what I needed. I would wholeheartedly recommend Alison as a coach to anyone because she has a gift, and she genuinely cares for others. Thank you so much, Alison for all your support! I will be forever grateful for the privilege of being coached by you!"

Diana Elisa Campbell, Small Business Consultant

"Alison’s probing curiosity and unwavering attention make our sessions invaluably productive. My initial concern as a queer person was soothed by her non-judgment, gentle compassion, and support for my life. I find it so easy to explore the trenches of my personal desires, tribulations, and hang-ups with Alison. Every session feels productive and clear-headed. I have become much more accountable for making positive and empowering changes in my daily life! Our interaction feels more like a loving, productive friendship than the “60 minutes of wandering free-association and ~ maybe ~ a moment of clarity” that I often had with psychotherapy. If you’re looking for re-enchantment, purpose, and new ways to nurture yourself, Alison is a great person to help you find them."

Bo Mobely, Student

"From my first coaching session with Alison I was able to see the magic that I could create within me. I used to have to be “in control” of who, what, and where, as it related to my family, But with Alison’s coaching, I was able to relax, let go and just be myself. Soon after starting coaching with Alison I started having best time connecting with my family and enjoying every minute of it. The greatest gift I received from Alison’s coaching was the ability to be present in the moment and not be attached to the outcome. If you want to see powerful and positive changes in your life, get some coaching with Alison. It will amaze you!"
