Allison is a courageous and masterful storyteller with a fascinating history of survival. Allison lived through two devastating and nearly fatal car accidents, one where she was hit nearly head-on by another car going 60 miles per hour, stunned by the massive impact and trapped inside her car as it was engulfed in flames. She was conscious the entire time and suffered severe burns to more than 50% of her body. Just three years later Allison survived another devastating crash where she was hit again and suffered a closed-head brain injury.

Astonishingly, through these experiences Allison discovered an unshakeable strength and ultimately found even more passion for her life and worked as an award-winning visual artist for museums and private collectors internationally. As Allison sees it, "I didn’t want to just heal. I wanted to feel peaceful. I became relentless in my pursuit to find the answers to life."

In her keynote “You are the Medicine” Allison teaches the mindset to successfully develop personal command and self-leadership to see struggle and change through a profound and empowering new lens. Her potent message is a testament of hope, relentless perseverance, and radical compassion.
