My approach
I’m a professionally-trained 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 you to contribute next.
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. (Include link: https://researchingcontactimprovisation.com/)
I have published a few writings that speak to resiliency skill building in relationships.
I still travel and teach dance and community visioning workshops in North america a few times a year.
As a life coach, I love to support creatives to take action and celebrate the life shifts or projects they bring in to their lives. I also support non-monogamous folk to show up to their many relationships in ways they are proud of. See the coaching group tab above (insert link here)

What others say
-- If you're in a place where you are really open to receiving guidance, then it's well worth the effort to engage with a coach. I came into it on a very tight budget, but I made it a priority and got the most out of the experience in terms of clarifying my needs. My growth was exponential from session to session.
-- 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.
-- 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.-
