Mindfulness Coaching with Alison (Zoom)

For mindfulness practitioners seeking personalized guidance to integrate mindfulness into life, enhancing presence, healing, and personal growth

&

For mindfulness teachers looking to innovate, deepen, and refine their teaching practices to better support their students’ growth and well-being

Why I offer mindfulness coaching:

My life has improved by leaps and bounds thanks to the coaching I’ve received, both as a mindfulness practitioner and as a teacher. On a regular basis, I meet with several mindfulness teachers of mine for guidance, support, and inspiration. Each of them lovingly dons a coaching hat whenever we connect in Zoomland.

It’s a joy to pay forward the coaching support that has been, and continues to be, such a critical pillar of my own growth and development. I have been lucky enough to coach hundreds of mindfulness practitioners and teachers over the last 12 years—excited for the next 12, and the 12 after that!

Here is what I currently offer.

“Your unwavering empathy and genuine heart have made a significant difference in my journey. I have felt truly seen and understood.”

3-Month Coaching Packages

I offer two kinds of coaching (described in the next section) in a 3-month package model designed to support sustained growth and meaningful development. This timeframe allows us to build continuity, explore what arises with care, and give you space to integrate insights between sessions.

You’re welcome to record our sessions if that would be supportive for you.

Two Cadence Options:

Monthly Sessions Package

  • Meet for hourlong (60 minutes) sessions once/month for 3 months

  • Excellent for consistent touchpoints and gentle accountability around your practice

  • $450 (3 sessions at $150 each)

Twice-Monthly Sessions Package

  • Meet for hourlong (60 minutes) sessions twice/month for 3 months

  • Ideal for more frequent guidance, intensive support around specific inquiries, or when you simply want more regular accompaniment

  • $900 (6 sessions at $150 each)

In terms of scheduling, we'll either pick a regular time to connect that works for both of our schedules, such as the fourth Tuesday at noon, or I will send you my scheduling link, and you can select dates and times that work for you.

After our three months together, you'll decide if you want to pause or sign up for another 3-month package. Your inner wisdom will signal to you whether it is beneficial to continue or take a break. If you're unsure, we can discuss it together.

Coaching Options

  • “Your Life is Your Practice, Your Practice is Your Life” Coaching for Mindfulness Practitioners

    As Rumi writes, “we’re all just walking each other home.” These sessions are designed to provide guidance, support, and accompaniment on your mindfulness and compassion cultivation journey on and off the cushion.

    If it feels relevant and of interest to you, our time together may involve guided inquiry, such as somatic inquiry, light-touch Parts work (from Internal Family Systems), variations of the self-compassion practice known as RAIN, journaling prompts, and/or practices from Buddhist psychology.

    The mindfulness practitioners I’ve worked with so far have found their way to this kind of coaching because they have questions about:

    • how to build or continue to strengthen a meditation practice

    • how to apply mindfulness-based practices and insights to their own internal emotional landscapes, friendships, romantic partnerships, the state of the world, and beyond

    • how to integrate mindfulness-based practices with other modalities that strengthen presence, healing, and intuitive knowing

    These sessions are for you if you want to engage in an uplifting inquiry process that guides you to tap into your own inner wisdom–and, when relevant, ask Alison for concrete suggestions and next steps.

    Why? So that you can show up for yourself, your loved ones, and this planet we’re inhabiting with greater integrity, compassion, embodied ease, and joy.

  • Instructional Coaching for Mindfulness Teachers and Mindfulness Program Directors

    These sessions are designed for mindfulness teacher-practitioners who want curriculum development coaching and support and/or have specific questions about teaching, and the relationship between teaching and your practice.

    In these sessions, Alison will support you by drawing on her 18+ years of experience in applied adult (and young adult!) learning theory, curriculum development, educational psychology, and trauma-sensitive mindfulness teaching.

    If you’re unsure of what an instructional coaching session or series of sessions might consist of, here are a few examples:

    • A psychologist met with me for several sessions to develop an elective for trainees interested in mindfulness. 

    • A mindfulness teacher signed up for coaching to explore race as a social construct and the impact of racism on mindfulness learning spaces.

    • A mindfulness teacher connected with me for coaching around working with self-doubt and impostor syndrome while teaching.

    • The director of a school-based mindfulness program worked with me to create an interactive presentation for the superintendent’s office.

    You will walk away from our session with clear next steps—and greater confidence in your ability to teach effectively and responsively.

Frequently Asked Questions

    • 1-2 minutes of meditating together as a way of arriving and transitioning into our time together

    • Check in: How are you in this moment?

    • Touching base about what feels most important to discuss

    • Discussing it! :) This period often also involves guided inquiry if it’s relevant and of interest to you, in which I lead you through a tailored reflective process.

    • Closing journaling and share out: What are you taking away from this time together?

    • If relevant, scheduling our next session

    • Wishing each other well and parting ways

    Please bring a notebook and something to write with to each session so that you can jot down any insights, ideas, musings, next steps, and/or takeaways that arise for you.

  • You determine how frequently we meet based on your own discernment, circumstances, and goals.

    For “Your Life is Your Practice, Your Practice is Your Life” sessions, the practitioners I currently coach generally ask to meet every 2-4 weeks, which gives them 2-4 weeks time to experiment with what we've discussed in the prior session. 

    There is never any obligation to continue meeting; what I’ve learned is that your inner wisdom will signal to you whether it is beneficial for you to continue, pause, or stop meeting. If you’re unsure, we can discuss it together. 

    Some people meet with me a few times a year when they feel so called.

  • Sometimes we will pick up the thread from the prior session, and sometimes we won't. It will depend on what's most alive for you as each session begins. I think it's important to work with what's here now, and often earlier themes will make themselves known organically. That being said, I take detailed notes during these sessions, so I may refer back to my notes from an earlier session if relevant.

  • Yes. Many of the people who meet with me also see a therapist and share with me that our time together strengthens, supports, and offers new perspectives on the inner exploration they're engaging in with a therapist.

  • Our financial situations vary widely. If the pricing is prohibitive for you, please contact Two Wings Mindfulness to discuss possibilities.

Kind Words

  • "I don’t think I could have gotten to where I’ve gotten without you."

    “You have a very calming effect on me that allows me to open up.”

    ~ S., New York, NY, USA

  • "I left feeling more confident and grounded so that I could be more compassionate with myself and others."

    Alison was extremely insightful and supportive. She helped me navigate the emotions I was anticipating [before a family reunion] and well as offering tools to work with and prepare for the "family drama."

    ~ Randi Jo Greenberg, Park City, Utah, USA

  • "My time with Alison has deepened the relationship I have with my meditation practice but also opened new doors in understanding myself, my boundaries, and my healing needs."

    Alison leads with warmth and creates a safe, non-judgmental environment that supports openness and discovery. The work we do together has helped me reframe my suffering and led me down a new path of healing that I may not have encountered without her support.

    ~ S., Brooklyn, NY, USA

  • "I have completed all of my tasks for the retreat and for the the first time in months I’m excited about it again!"

    Thank you so much for your time on Monday. It was a wonderful start to my week and a turning point in my retreat planning. Your kind words recentered me and for that I am incredibly grateful.
