Hi, I’m Ali!

Working with Ali was life changing. Truly such a gift. It is extremely hard work, but she creates a safe space and empowers you every step of the way. I met Ali at a time where I was just diagnosed with several chronic illnesses, overwhelmed with family relationships, and driven by people pleasing and perfectionism. Since working with Ali, I feel like I have met my real self and can show up in the world as who I am. I am more calm, confident, and secure. I am setting healthy boundaries and starting to put myself first (which is not selfish) for the first time in my life. To get to this place, she has helped me recognize my triggers, how they stem from past trauma, and has taught me to release my emotions in a healthy way. She pushed me to keep going when I wanted to give up, was honest with me when I gave excuses, and helped me celebrate the little and big wins along the way. Since working with Ali, the lessons she taught me pop into my mind each day, and have changed the way I live my life. I am so grateful to have had 6 months of 1 on 1 coaching with her, and I know I will continue this working relationship with her in the future. Thank you so much Ali! You are such a beautiful healer and soul.

I was at a starting point that faced me with the challenge of needing a change. I couldn't keep going down the path I was on, if I'm being honest it was more of a rabbit hole looking back. I needed to invest in myself, and my experience with Ali was one of those things that you never think twice about because there is no hesitation that it is the best thing you could ever do for yourself. She made some really hard times for me enjoyable and something I could work through with ease. There was push back when she knew I could do better and celebrations over my victories we earned together. It allowed me the practice of finding comfort in the uncomfortable. Reflecting on our time together, I recognize we are all at the mercy of our trauma and hardships at one point or another. We hold onto these things so hard because we're more afraid of the thought versus action. The thought of letting go versus the act of letting it go, releasing yourself from trauma that was never yours to begin with. I would say I've learned compassion for myself that allows me to hold space for others. What I also know is that I don't need to hold space if it does not serve me. There is a difference between being selfish and selfless and a time and place for each. We are complicated individuals, none in the same yet all the same innately. EHA showed me I can't control every situation but I can control how I pick myself up, respond to it and learn from it, that's where my power is.

I can’t say enough good about EHA. I’d been in and out of talk therapy for years but I still felt like I was spiraling and often things felt hopeless. I’d been told my therapists I had CPTSD, but i didn’t know what to do to heal and talk therapy wasn’t enough— it just brought the pain to the surface. Through EHA I actually learned to move through that pain and get it out. I learned so much about myself, my body and mind, and learned to love myself in a new way. The tools I have now have given me the confidence to manage the ups and downs that come my way without feeling like everything is a catastrophe. I am able to listen to others more openly, I am kinder and gentler with myself. I can celebrate myself. I am able to relax and rest more easily than ever, all of my relationships have improved and I’m significantly happier. Ali is sweet but firm when you need it and you truly feel how she wants the best for you. She sees your potential and can push you past discomfort to find your power. I am so grateful for Ali and this program

I truly never thought that something like this would be beneficial for me.. and I couldn’t have been more wrong. Over the last 6 months, I began to really look forward to my weekly session so much. Although it was challenging and sometimes hard to work through, it was an amazing feeling knowing that I was working on trauma I didn’t know existed and that I was really starting to understand who I am as an individual. I have a new sense of proudness for myself & everything I have been faced with in life. Just within 6 months, I have started to be more open with my loved ones & family about what I have learned and it’s been amazing to see how close it has brought us. I am able to bring in a new lens into challenges I am still facing on a day to day basis & have a healthier outlook on difficult situations. I really am so grateful for Ali and this experience

I learned about Ali through a serendipitous encounter. I feel I was meant to go in her direction. I was at a very low point. I lost my husband of 55 years to cancer, went through a tough and lonely winter, sold my home, moved away from friends and then found out I have stage 4 cancer. I was trying to be strong and move forward but felt stuck and panicked. Ali and her program were exactly what I needed. I find her to be extremely knowledgeable and skilled as a coach. She listens, evaluates, understands, pushes back when appropriate, remembers details, asks the right questions and helps move in a positive direction. The components of the program are in depth, based on research, and established theory. I also like the scientific explanations for how the emotions and body are interconnected. The tools that Ali introduced throughout the process have been key. The recognition of when to use the tools and why is the essence of the benefit. Her availability between visits and in situations where I needed some immediate assistance was invaluable. I have been able to move from a place of profound sadness on many levels to one of hope. I am now beginning to reestablish myself and my life and am in the process of healing myself emotionally and physically. I thank Ali for her skills, knowledge, professionalism, and empathy. She has made a big difference in my life.

Working with Ali was one of the best decisions I could’ve made for myself. I was looking for a practitioner who could help me develop a set of somatic tools, so that I could process past traumas. When we started one-on-one coaching, I was in place of transition. I knew that I was disconnected from my body and that finding that connection, would be an important piece of my healing journey. After six months of working together, I’m still healing. I still have days where I feel overwhelmed, but I no longer feel defeated. Instead, I feel empowered to take my health into my own hands, and to continue putting into practice the tools that I learned while working with Ali. I know I have a long journey of healing ahead of me, but I’m so grateful to my past self for choosing to work with Ali and so grateful to Ali for showing me that it’s safe to look at the future with hope.
