My approach
I’m a professionally-trained and certified coach through the Academy for Coaching Excellence (ACE), an accredited training program of the International Coach Federation (ICF).
The coaching model from ACE combines the latest in neuroscience with powerful principals from ancient wisdom teachings. This framework is both pragmatic and transformational.
I use this method to support creatives to move beyond what has been clouding the path in order to take consistent action towards what has the most meaning for them to contribute next.
We'll have to chat to feel our chemistry but in the meantime, here's a little about me
I have always been interested in supporting people to share their unique creative gifts and fascinated by how we learn. I’ve explored this in multiple careers, in many collaborative and intimate relationships, while living in one place, and while traveling nomadically.
I have my Masters Degree in Education with a specialty in bilingual (English/Spanish) and worked as a teacher in NYC trying out all the different school system styles.
I have been a professional dancer and choreographer in the US and Europe.
I co-directed the first anthropological documentary on Contact Improvisation, Five Ways In. I toured the film to over 16 countries and facilitated discussions in which individuals, inspired by the film, investigated their personal questions within community.
You can find the article in Contact Quarterly online titled: Awareness, Engagement & Resilience here
You can find my writings on: Long distance relationships, Uncoupling: Ending a partnership, Polyamory, and Finding your partner in the second edition of the book: Getting along: skills for life-long love here.
I still travel and teach dance and community visioning workshops in North America a few times a year.
As a life coach, I empower big-dream creatives to take action, move beyond obstacles and contribute their unique gifts with clarity and focus. I love to celebrate the life shifts and projects they create and share with others. I also support non-monogamous folk to show up to their many relationships in ways they are proud of.
Testimonials
Through working with Alyssa, I feel more confident to take small, but very important steps in my life. Alyssa has helped me connect to and clarify my deeply held values so that I could take action towards them, with a whole lot more ease and fun than I’ve ever known how!! I moved the needle as a facilitator, how I show up for others, my own projects, and mostly in the way that I hear my own thoughts. She’s helped me interrupt unsupportive ways of thinking with a kind of gentle encouragement that I’ve learned to bring to myself.
I was wary of this process, not sure how it would take hold for me. Through working with Alyssa, I feel it kind of just secretly infiltrated my perspective of positivity-recognizing and dismantling the negative talk in my head. By setting meaningful goals and building the ability to zero in on the goals and meaningful opportunities important to me, I now feel a plethora of community impact and have exciting opportunities important to me in line with my goals.
What others say
- I feel responsible to myself in a new way. Alyssa has been my partner in helping me to trust me, and have something to show for it.
- I started working with Alyssa because I was experiencing a lot of shift in my life. I was considering a career change, and was also re-prioritizing my personal life. Alyssa really used the framework of coaching to help me investigate what was motivating my desire for change, and identifying what obstacles and fears stood in the way. I feel more prepared to make my career change, and also more committed to leading a life that better reflects my values and priorities.”
- Alyssa combined a focus on action-oriented steps with the time and space to explore what was behind those actions in a way that was very helpful to me.
- Before working with Alyssa, I was struggling with identifying my priorities, such as whether to go back to school, stick to a daily routine, or develop better relationships. Coaching helped me identify my priorities by helping me notice from week to week what was stopping me from advancing in my goals. From there we would put on a sharper lens to help identify what my true goals actually were and adjust accordingly.
