"Allison’s professionalism in communication was evident from the moment we met her.
Her knowledge and experience have been an invaluable addition to the Alberta Yoga College’s Yoga Teacher Training program. Our trainees consistently share how much they appreciate learning to refine their vocal presence and communication skills while staying true to themselves. Beyond her expertise, Allison is approachable, down-to-earth, and truly a joy to work with. We’re grateful to have her as part of our training experience.

"The Teacher’s Voice Workshop is an outstanding complement to any YTT
Allison's delivery is thoughtful, practical, and immediately impactful. It was well received, giving teachers the confidence and tools to use their voice with clarity, presence, and authenticity. Whether you’re newly certified or looking to deepen your communication skills, this training fills a vital gap in traditional YTTs.
- Kristin Jostad, Yoga Passage Director
"I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Allison for six years now - first as a student, and now as a colleague.
She was brave enough to take on my harebrained idea of adapting her Authentic Voice workshop for high school yoga students, and this May will mark the fourth time she’s run it with my class.
Each time, the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Students consistently comment on her warm, welcoming presence and how comfortable she makes them feel. They also gain valuable insight into their own speaking habits—especially the “ticks” and filler words they weren’t even aware of.
While Allison’s work is incredibly valuable for adults, I believe it’s even more impactful for teenagers. They leave with a wealth of knowledge and practical tools they can carry with them for years to come.
Allison has a truly special way of guiding people toward finding their authentic voice. I experienced this firsthand during my own yoga teacher training, and the lessons she shared have stayed with me—I continue to use them regularly to this day. “

"Practical Tools for Clear, Confident Communication
Allison is a wonderfully skilled facilitator. She provides tremendous insight into how your voice translates to others and how you can connect more deeply to your own voice to communicate clearly and with precision."

"Awareness That Changed the Way I Teach.
I found Allison’s information very useful and have since noticed vocal habits in other teachers and presenters. I've focused on avoiding upspeak, friability, and deepened my voice, speaking more slowly and with more intention — all very useful information!"
– Geri Dale Grenier, Yoga Teacher Trainee
"A Transformational Boost in Public Speaking Confidence
After many years of feeling self-conscious about my voice, I reached out to Allison and was impressed by her honest, gentle feedback and fun, effective coaching style. After just a few sessions, I feel far more confident speaking in professional settings and have several strategies to continue improving."
