Alison started studying alternative therapies as a way to help herself, and from that experience was inspired to help others via health coaching and as an educator speaking to groups in our community about health and nutrition.

Alison Lively is a Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach and Natural Health Educator dedicated to bringing the most accurate, up-to-date, and helpful information to each individual and group that she works with. She has extensive knowledge in Iridology, Kinesiology, Herbology and Nutrition, and she also holds a doctorate in Naturopathy.

Alison’s own health issues with chronic, severe allergies prompted her journey to natural ways of healing. She exhausted her medical treatment options, maxing out on prescription nasal sprays and inhalers, decongestants, and antihistamines, so she turned to alternative therapies.

The moment she began to focus on a healthy diet and natural supplements, she found relief for the first time and continued her education to study the science of Naturopathy: using means other than medicine to assist the body to heal itself.

Alison is still astounded by her own healing journey, and after helping thousands of people on their own health journey, not a day goes by that she does not feel grateful to have the knowledge and skills to help others learn ways to optimize their well-being.

Alison has over 18 years of experience working with every age group. She currently offers one-on-one health coaching through both in-person and virtual options. She has authored and taught wellness courses and speaks throughout the community to educate and inspire people to take control of their health.
