Testimonials

  • “It is rare to find someone in New York City who embodies a spirituality of care for others and self not just in what they say, but in how they live, rev alison is that love. When I feel doubt, talking to her (and her just listening) gives me trust. Hearing her passion gives me courage. There are few people I can get messy and silly and sad and sappy and soft with like her. rev alison has been a constant source of honesty in my life which I’ve needed as I’ve been recovering my sense of feeling and being in the world.”

    — MADELYN ZINS, ENTREPRENEUR, CO-DIRECTOR OF COTTONWOOD, NATURALIST

  • “Rev Alison is a very empathetic listener with a strong sense of connection to the people around her. Through a mapping session, she helped me to form connections between various aspects of life while keeping me grounded in the most fundamental parts of my identity. Alison helps you to develop an awareness both of the positive and negative parts of your character in a safe and non-judgemental environment.”

    — PEYTON PLENINGER, SAXOPHONIST

  • “Alison is the best listener by somehow hearing every word and compassionately asking questions to delve deeper without coddling. It’s a real process wherein you can feel growth. ”

    — ANWAR, ACTOR

  • “Rev Alison helped me to realize I was living in survival mode which was a big one. She helped connect me to a way of living that assists and guides me still and I really am so grateful.”
