White-Glove, 1:1 Coaching for Professionals Who Are Done Achieving At the Cost of Their Health and Happiness
The thrill of checking off goals. The high of reaching new milestones. The joy of living a comfortable lifestyle afforded by your six-figure salary. Success has been good to you!
But somewhere along the line—maybe between answering another 11:00 pm work email or battling another migraine—you’ve realized your success has also come at a cost. And the stress no longer feels worth it.
You love the rush of achievement.
IT’S OK TO ADMIT …
You don’t want to be a workaholic.
You just don’t know any other way.
Nights and weekends ….
You often spend them by the dim light of your laptop. Overtime isn’t technically in your job description, but the idea of logging off at 5:00 pm is laughable.
Blissful slumber …
What’s that?! If it doesn’t take you an hour to nod off each night, you regularly wake up around 3:00 am with racing thoughts about the demands of your job.
“Relaxing” vacations …
Sure, your body is on the beach. But your mind is back at the office, replaying meeting conversations or bracing for the 3,975 emails that will be waiting in your inbox when you return.
You’ve thought about quitting more times than you can count, but you always revert to the same motto:
“JUST PUSH THROUGH IT.”
Even if it means ignoring your body’s alarm bells, you push yourself to the point of physical and emotional depletion. Because if you stop performing, proving, or people-pleasing, won’t you become replaceable?*
*says your pesky imposter syndrome.
You can’t “mindset” your way out of chronic overwhelm.
THE TRUE BREAKTHROUGH HAPPENS WHEN YOU REALIZE:
You can’t simply tell yourself, “Just try harder” or “Just push through the stress.” You have to slow down and get to the root cause of the problem:
A nervous system that’s in distress.
The fatigue, the headaches, the poor sleep …
They're all physical manifestations of a body in stress.
It’s only when you learn how to rewire your nervous system (instead of overriding it) that you can rewire old stress patterns.
The result: You’ll finally feel clear, calm, and in control—even when the stakes are high.
I help high achievers rewire their stress response at the root, so stress fuels them instead of draining them.
The goal isn’t to avoid or eliminate all stress. Not only is this completely unrealistic, but it’s also unnecessary.
I’m Alison.
LEADERSHIP COACH, FORMER PEOPLE-PLEASER, AND THE CREATOR OF
DO STRESS BETTER™.
Because stress isn’t the enemy.
It can even be a catalyst for focus and growth. The key is to create a healthier relationship with stress, so it goes from feeling like a liability to a leadership advantage.
I’m Alison.
welcome!
“The #1 most important leadership decision I ever made was to invest in coaching with Alison.”
I was having wild success at work in terms of impact and growth. But I was feeling really overwhelmed by it all, and I kept worrying that the bigger the impact and growth, the more I'd find myself past my growth curve and incapable of sustaining the success.
Alison really helped me identify the mindsets and physiology that were holding me back and impacting my effectiveness in my work. Honestly, I wouldn't have made it through the leadership challenges I led through if it weren't for my work with Alison. Working with her transformed me as a leader and person, and the work that I do in this world.

CLIENT PRAISE:
Instead of constantly pushing through, you’ll discover a calm, steady space where you can stop moving so fast, thinking so hard, and trying so intently to hold it all together.
You’ll still have your drive (of course!) … But now stress won’t have the same hold over you. And when your body begs you to pause, you’ll have the confidence to rest without guilt.
You can exhale now.
When you work with your nervous system
(instead of against it), you become the person who can:
THE DO STRESS BETTER™ TRANSFORMATION:
Navigate high-stress situations with greater calm, clarity, and confidence. (Those packed boardrooms and ridiculous deadlines? So much easier to manage.)
Slow down without feeling shame or worry that you’ll be replaced. (PSA: Your worth isn’t attached to being in constant crush mode.)
Create boundaries that protect your precious time, energy, and sanity. (You can turn in your People Pleaser Badge of Honor now.)
Be truly present during family vacations. (Because it’s so much more fun having sand in your toes than sand in your laptop.)

(Psst. You’re busy. I get it! That’s why this quiz will only take you 2 to 3 minutes to complete.)
You’re not done striving.
You’re just done suffering.
This isn’t about quick fixes or surface-level strategies.

Something deep inside you knows that what got you here—all the hustling, grinding, and sacrificing—isn’t sustainable. You’re ready for a new definition of success that includes more joy, meaning, and self-compassion.
It’s about a deeper, more permanent shift where you’ll learn how to listen to your body, rewire your nervous system, and free yourself of self-destructive stress patterns.
