Who is Allison?
Allison Burtch has been connected to the divine from an early age. At four years old she sensed her sister's illness and death before anyone else knew. She grew up deeply religious, yet through the trappings of religion still experienced the presence of the divine and the interconnection of all life. Her mother taught her to love trees.
She spent over a decade at the forefront of technology and culture: advancing innovation at Disney+, leading emerging technology initiatives at UNICEF in East Africa, biking across the United States, traveling by train from Kazakhstan to Beijing, holding residencies in Europe and South America. She holds a graduate degree from NYU and has a keen awareness of the callings of leadership, understanding from the inside the particular loneliness that can come with it.
As the oldest in a large family, she learned to be hyper-responsible and attuned to the energy of the room. It wasn't until her body started breaking down that she learned the most important attunement of all: to the inner callings of the soul.
Since her first ayahuasca experience in 2014, Allison has walked a rigorous and expansive path through plant medicine and shamanic training, somatic and spiritual practice, feminine embodiment, and deep study of the body, breath, and soul.
In her work as an oracle and integral coach, Allison meets people where they are and accompanies them to where they have not yet allowed themselves to go. Often she finds that simply naming the truth of what is here brings deep relief.
She believes the ancient wound in humanity is the schism between men and women, and that spiritual repair for women begins with trusting in the goodness of men's hearts again. Allison walks with plants, trees, and animals, trusts the natural brilliance of our bodies, and loves music and dancing.
The name Allison means truthful one. It is a name she has grown into, in both the cost and the blessing.
She believes we are each living in the dream of our own choosing.
She is all in for life.
