Health should be personalized, but doesn’t need to be complicated.

My Story:

I got started in the health industry as a personal trainer in 2008. I worked in gyms and personal training studios in San Diego, my hometown. I always knew I wanted to help people more and on a deeper level.

I moved to the Cleveland area in February 2014 to be with my fiancee (now husband) Brian. The few years following I dealt with my own health issues: adrenal dysfunction/fatigue, hypothyroidism, hormone imbalances and amenorrhea (lack of a menstrual cycle). I was driven to help others with their health, yet I was struggling inside myself. My mother was also dealing with many issues as well, including chronic stress and Auto-Immune Thyroid condition called Hashimoto’s. I saw my dad go chronic (back) pain, surgery and medication. He passed very suddenly in 2011 and I knew I didn’t want that for myself, or for anyone else to go through the same struggles.

I knew conventional medicine only focused on how to prescribe medications to treat my symptoms. After several depressing doctor’s appointments and getting answers like “We just don’t know what is wrong”, it was time to search elsewhere. I knew there were other options.

Through the support of naturopathic and functional medicine doctors, plus many lifestyle changes, I was able to fully bounce back from my adrenal fatigue. I balanced my hormones naturally, getting my cycle back after 5 years, without any medication or drugs!!!

My WHY:

I am a health coach and nutritionist because I firmly believe that lifestyle and food have healing properties. I have experienced it myself and have seen the amazing changes others have achieved as well.

It is my mission and passion to share my story and knowledge, so that YOU and others can get to the ROOT cause of your health issues and support your body naturally.

In 2012 I started my own business, Finesse Fitness, where I offer
in-person fitness training, health coaching and nutrition counseling. I am based out of Cleveland Ohio, but work with clients from all over the U.S. offering online wellness programs & coaching.

FUN FACTS ABOUT ALLISON:

I have a beautiful daughter Natalie (born July 2022) and we have so much fun together! She loves to help me in the kitchen, cooking and baking, and is very active too (what a surprise huh?)

I am also expecting baby #2 (a boy!) very early December ’24!

I am a former bikini fitness competitor, competing in a total of 7 shows between 2012-2016. While it is not my passion or hobby anymore, I enjoyed the experience, have great memories, and grateful for the opportunities it brought me.

In my free time, you’ll find me in the kitchen, baking and creating new recipes. I love to cook AND eat!

I have a MAJOR sweet tooth and dessert is my kryptonite. My go-to favorite? A (warm) brownie sundae loaded with icecream AND all the toppings.

I have been all the hair colors, from super blonde to super super dark brown. I think it’s fun to change it up!

I met my husband Brian in a Vegas nightclub. Yep, you read that right! I am from San Diego and he’s from Ohio. We were both on a vacation…and long story short, we have been happily married since 2015. Never say never!

I was born and raised in Southern California, living in Orange County and San Diego. I have two younger sisters and most all of my family is still on the West Coast. I love reading, writing, being in nature, working out, and just spending time with my friends and family.

Some of my favorite things include: A big cup of coffee, sushi, anything chocolate, grocery shopping, making new recipes, a new journal, going on walks, sunshine and being outside!
