Break free from survival mode
Have you felt stuck in survival mode?
You always need to be ‘on’ and your mind doesn’t turn off.
You are juggling all the things and trying your best to do them really well.
You want to be there for your loved ones and also keep growing professionally.
You’ve somehow lost yourself in the mix of it all and you’re inching closer to having nothing left to give.
You miss your spark, your playfulness, your peace, your joy. And you’re ready to find it again.
Living in survival mode feels like a lot like being on autopilot.
You’re going through the motions and keeping your head above the water… but it’s only because your feet are kicking so hard below the surface.
I want to teach you how to float. To peacefully ride the waves of a busy life without feeling the exhaustion of trying not to drown. My approach is integrative and honors both your mind and your body.
In our work together, you can expect an open and non-judgmental space to move, breathe, release, and feel held in a way that is deeply safe to your nervous system.

Hi, I’m Alissa.
I am not going to give you a story about how I used to be a stressed-out shell of myself and now I am always happy and at peace.
I value keeping it real. So, here is what I am going to tell you instead.
I used to be incredibly unaware of what was happening in my body and why I would suddenly feel the need to retreat from the world or would snap at everyone close to me. I used to view these things as personality flaws and really beat myself up for them.
And then I learned about the nervous system. And suddenly it all made sense.
Today, when those feelings arise for me (because they still do), I meet them with compassion and understanding. I take them as a signal from my nervous system that I’ve been neglecting myself and not really tuned into my needs and emotions. And I know the exact pathway back to leisurely floating on the water rather than effortfully treading it.
As a licensed psychotherapist and certified yoga and mindfulness teacher, I've distilled my years of personal and professional experience into my offerings for Root Collective.
Through this journey, you'll discover that you can still care deeply about others, fully show up in your relationships and in your career, and still safeguard your inner peace and keep your nervous system balanced.
You can fully show up in your relationships and in your career while still protecting your inner peace and keeping your nervous system balanced.
