Hi, I’m Allison.

After closing my long-term business at the start of the pandemic, a leading-edge mindful movement studio, I transitioned to writing for the Health & Wellness industries.

As a former owner of a wellness business, I delighted in leading a community and culture of wellness. I now create an extension of this community through writing.

I live in Los Angeles with my 11-year-old son and our cat, Mouse.

In 2003, I opened Pilates Metro in the Atwater Village area of Los Angeles. At Pilates Metro, I worked alongside exceptional instructors, offering instruction in Pilates and Gyrotonic® for everyone from pre-teen athletes to Octogenarians. I helped clients manifest their body muses while focusing on body conditioning for challenging conditions, like pregnancy, scoliosis, and herniated discs, among others.

I have taught Pilates since certifying through All-American Pilates in 2001. I recently completed my Gyrotonic® Certification in November of 2022. I come to this work with my own physical challenges, having undergone bilateral foot surgery at a young age due to an inherited neuromuscular condition. I believe in body conditioning that is inclusive, accessible, and fun. I see clients privately in my home studio and online via Zoom.

After closing Pilates Metro during the pandemic, I began writing for the Health & Wellness industries. I've worked on various projects, everything from narrative video game design for Mattel163 to editorial for outlets like the Philadelphia Inquirer to an array of marketing & promotion for the Health & Wellness industries.
