From 1986-1991, Allison served as a teaching assistant in the Hutchinson Therapy Association, along with fellow future-Aston Faculty member, Mark Barber. During this time, she also delved deeply into studies of cranial sacral therapy, zero-balancing and orthobionomy, as well as various movement disciplines, including Feldenkrais and Dynamic Stabilization. 

In 1993, she was introduced to Aston Kinetics and began her 20+ year career in the Aston paradigm. Allison began studying with Judith Aston, founder of Aston Kinetics, and became a Certified Aston-Patterning Practitioner in 1996. She certified as an Advanced practitioner the following year. 

Between 1994 and 2005 she certified in Aston specialty trainings: Fitness, Senior Fitness, Facial Fitness, and Treadmill Dancing. Her understanding of and commitment to the paradigm led Judith Aston to train her to teach the work; she has been on the Aston Kinetics Faculty since 2000. She is a Senior Faculty member, skilled in teaching the four Aston-Patterning foundation classes, and is currently in training to teach Phase I & II of the Aston-Patterning Certification. 

She lives in Reno, Nevada, where she enjoys a full time private practice and teaching schedule. She derives great satisfaction from teaching classes to the public. Her current roster of Aston Kinetics classes include Movement Basics to apply to daily living; Fitness for toning, stretching and joint loosening; Facial Fitness, Senior Fitness, and alignment for meditation. She is delighted when people use the concepts from these classes to access an awareness within their body that they had not experienced before, and to problem solve how to move safely with ease and strength in their environment, be it at home, in the car, at work, at the gym, etc. 

Her greatest joy in teaching classes at the professional level is passing on the wisdom that has been taught to her by Judith Aston and Brian Linderoth. 

This knowledge has given her and her career a lifetime of inspiration, creativity and stability. "The teachings have tremendous value, are timeless and will apply to anything one may learn about the body."
