She spent a decade in Asia as a teacher and administrator in the international school system. During that time, she immersed herself in the seat of ancient wisdom, traveling throughout Taiwan and across Asia, visiting Buddhist monasteries, temples, and traditional healing centers. She studied directly with monks, Chi Gong masters, Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurvedic doctors, I-Ching oracle readers, and healers, receiving traditional treatments weekly while asking one consistent question: how does it all actually work?

She pieced together what her intuition, intellect, and decades of meditation practice guided her to learn and brought it all together in what became the Vibrational Upgrade System™. Through 25+ years of working with thousands of spiritually developed women across the world, she identified the pattern nobody else was naming: that most transformation stays temporary not because of lack of effort or commitment, but because the Subtle Energy System’s set-point, the deeper calibration that determines what a person can consistently hold, choose, and sustain, remains unchanged even when everything else shifts.

Upon returning to the States, she grounded everything in an embodied, functional, and holistic framework by earning her PhD as a Holistic Life Coach and becoming a certified Personal Trainer with specialty certifications in Fitness Nutrition and Behavioral Change.

Dr. Alison is now considered one of the leading experts in the fields of subtle energy, energy medicine, meditation, and human potential. She has spoken and taught around the world and has authored four books: the award-winning What If There’s Nothing Wrong?, the #1 international bestseller Vibrational Upgrade, the #1 international bestseller Reasonable Dragons, and The Dragon Master Creatrix, also a #1 international bestseller.
