Allison discovered Pilates in 2007 after experiencing chronic lower back pain due to many years as a tap dancer. She endured numerous (frustrating!) trips to doctors and physical therapists, which ultimately led her to more holistic treatment options. Since then not only has her back pain disappeared, but her experience led her to an entirely new career helping guide others on their own paths to pain-free movement. She completed her Pilates training in 2010 and is certified through the NCPT. From 2014 – 2019 she completed a 500-hour certification in Clinical Qigong, Movement Qigong, and Chinese Neuro-Energetic Therapeutics through the Institute of Chinese Energy Healing, ICEH. In 2015 Allison founded LightSpace Pilates & Wellness with fellow instructor and friend Annie Murray.

Allison has the unique ability to see and understand pain, and she intuitively knows how to motivate and guide clients to discover healthier, happier movement and a balanced nervous system. Using a West meets East approach, she combines Pilates exercises, Clinical Qigong healing and movement, and creative tools from past experience in the art/dance world, into a treatment method that helps clients connect to their bodies on a deeper level encompassing the physical, energetic, and spiritual bodies.

Allison has many years experience in dance performance and athletics, starting from an early age. Her first job was dance demonstrator/class assistant for Diane Gudat at The Dance Company of Indianapolis. Allison moved to Chicago in 2007 after earning her M.A. in Arts Administration from Indiana University, and worked for several years in that field. However, guiding people toward the path of health and wellness is where she really belongs.
