Inner Space Techniques

Hi, I'm Alison :) Thanks for dropping by.

 

I had a spiritual awakening at 21. I cognized a higher level of consciousness, an effortless lightness where miracles seemed normal and I felt like I was walking with angels, daily. It lasted about a year and a half, and it changed everything for me. I lost weight, shed emotional heaviness, realized I wasn't my emotional problems and wasn't defined by or limited by my troubled childhood. I also knew there was a link between metaphysical experience/spiritual awakening and emotional healing, and I set out studying and exploring how to do that with my life, both for myself and as a practitioner.

 

Those early experiences gave me an inner compass. For almost 20 years I worked as a secretary and receptionist in high end law and accounting firms in Sydney, Australia (I grew up in country Australia), and in my spare time, I read everything I could about energetic and emotional healing. Along the way I studied Anthroposophy, gained a diploma in remedial massage, became a yoga teacher in two different streams (hatha and Bikram, which I still teach), became an increasingly dedicated and passionate meditator, and studied and practiced healing techniques across multiple disciplines (breathwork and rebirthing, shamanism, aromatherapy, acupuncture), finally landing on Inner Space Techniques in 2002 as the practice that most resonated with me.

​

In 2007 I moved from Sydney to New York and became a full time Inner Space Techniques (IST) practitioner for two years. I absolutely loved living in Brooklyn Heights and seeing clients in Manhattan. In late 2009 I moved to Berkeley, California, where my in person IST practice is now based, though I also see people around the country and around the world for sessions online.

 

People come to me for many different issues, and I focus my 1:1 work in several areas:

​

• Adults who experienced sexual or other abuse as children;

• Women who have struggled with IVF, miscarriage, abortion, c-section or hysterectomy;​

• People with anxiety, self-doubt or emotional blocks;

• Eating disorders, particularly binge eating disorder and bulimia;

• People going through transitions - divorce or relationship breakup, your own approaching death or death of a loved one, and other major changes in life;

• People on a spiritual path who want to go deeper.

​

It has been my experience that facing the difficulties within, exploring and opening to what we perceive as the darkness inside of us, reveals our greatest light and our greatest inner treasure. It seems a paradox, we want to run from our issues, so much of our western culture is based on avoiding feeling bad, but when we walk towards your darkness, what we discover is our light. 

 

The Inner Space Techniques are a method of healing which encompasses not only self understanding at the psychological level, but with a broader metaphysical context and self knowledge that comes through contact with higher presences, including the high parts of oneself. The kind of "Ah-ha...I understand..." that facilitates healing beyond mental understanding; rearrangements at the very core of ourselves. The deepest healing and awakening comes through contact with our Higher Self.
