Outside The Therapy Room

Allison spends time with her dog, family, and close friends, and nurtures her creativity through arts and crafts. She’s a regular at Pilates several times a week, which helps support both her physical and mental wellbeing. Mindful practices like body scans help her stay connected to her needs and grounded in the present. She finds joy in small things and carves out intentional moments to sit with them.

What Grounds and Inspires Her
