“The freedom and peace that I have with food and exercise are inmensurable. My priority is to feel happy and age with quality of life. No more intrusive thoughts about restriction. Thank you very much Alison.” -Nadia, private counseling client
“Before I started working with Alison, I felt myself starting to develop a negative relationship between food and my body. I have PCOS, and I had read online that completely eliminating certain foods from your diet was the only way to be healthy or lose weight. In my sessions with Alison, weight loss was not my goal, but she taught me how to eat a balanced diet and that restricting foods is not the answer. I was definitely little nervous to start working with a dietitian, but Alison is so understanding and super easy to talk to. I really enjoyed working with her, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dietitian.” -Elizabeth, private counseling client
“Alison is so easy to work with. I felt that I could be open and share my struggles and she thoughtfully helped me to deal with them. Over the 8 weeks, I had a lot of healing. I went back to enjoying and eating all foods. Alison gave me some good tools to help when I'm stressed and want to eat for emotional reasons. We also worked through body images struggles which helped me to accept my body and be thankful.” - Mindy, private counseling client
“We were fortunate to have Alison speak to our membership about Intuitive Eating. Some people were familiar with the topic and some were confused initially that it was another diet. We had such great feedback on her workshop that changed our perspective on eating and about ourselves. She spoke on how building a healthy relationship with food and how we need to listen to our own bodies. Like Pilates, every body is different and we need to tailor our actions to ourselves. Alison was so open to her own experiences and challenges that it allowed for the audience to share their own challenges, wins, and pitfalls in an interactive group discussion in a judgment-free setting. She provided helpful advice that was on point along with real-life stories that many could relate to. She was knowledgeable, empathetic, and inspiring. We hope to have another workshop again in the fall. We think more people would benefit from her. Thank you Alison for speaking to our membership about Intuitive Eating!” -David L., Owner, Club Pilates Garden City and New Hyde Park, NY
“Alison’s presentation was eye opening and also refreshing. It was like she was in my head and knew what I needed to hear- thinking about food with a new perspective, focusing on eating for health and well being. We have invited her back to speak with our teenage daughters!!” - Patti B., VP of Patroness Activities, National Charities League, Garden City, NY
“Thanks Alison for the informative and motivational tips you gave to our patients. Your knowledge and excitement for healthy eating has really helped me and my patients improve our running.” - Lisa Coors, PT, Physical Therapy Options, Garden City, NY
