About Alison
Alison grew up in Fairfield County and has lived in London, New York City and Colorado. After serving as the Director of Sales & Services Operations for a research firm, a ski instructor for Vail Resorts and then working on public health and educational issues within the non-profit sector, Alison went on to pursue a career in nutrition. Her interest in nutrition began as a young child but became stronger when she developed IBS-like symptoms in her early 20's. By working closely with a nutritionist herself she realized and understood first-hand the true healing power of food and supplements.
Her interest in emotional well-being is also integral to her work and she utilizes two cutting-edge techniques (EFT and Psych-K). Alison works closely with her clients to effectively ‘rewrite’ limiting beliefs in order to create long lasting success and positivity. In addition to maintaining healthy eating practices, she enjoys keeping an active lifestyle.
In the summer you may find Alison kayaking on the Long Island Sound and in the winter, downhill skiing or enjoying the scenic local surroundings by way of snowshoe or cross country skis. Currently she lives in Westport and works as a Clinical Nutritionist at various facilities throughout the area.
