Allison is a knowledgeable and experienced teacher. Had a fun yoga session!

Excels at attuning to client’s concerns and honing in on trouble spots. Able to apply tremendous pressure or keep it light. Soothing atmosphere and calm demeanor. I leave feeling at ease and grounded. I recommend the massage she does with her feet!

I am so grateful for Allison! She helped me so much while I was pregnant during lockdown, she created a completely individualized yoga routine just for me! Then I was able to get a massage she delivered the perfect pressure and details with Ashiatsu! Thank you!!

Alli is everything you would want in a massage therapist; a very calming demeanor, friendly, and completely dedicated to her craft. I know she teaches classes in massage techniques and is a constant learner. I have recommended people to her and will continue to because I know they will be well taken care of in her hands.

Alli’s studio has the perfect ambiance, including dim lighting, soothing scents, and music; all of these elements always make me feel very relaxed. Alli is very nice and caring which always puts me at ease. If you require a deeper or lighter touch, Alli will change pressure smoothly, according to what you tell her regarding the needs of the different areas. Those are just some of the many reasons I am a repeat client!!!

My massage experience with Allison was legendary Truly, from the moment I walked in I entered a vortex of love and care and healing energy. I loved how she integrated cards, smoke clearing, aromatherapy and intention setting into the session. She was very attentive with my healing injuries and sensitive areas. I’d never had ashiatsu before. It was epic. Deep in such a grounding way. After breaking my wrist in a car accident a few months ago and experiencing significant trauma over the past few years, this massage did wonders for the intense stiffness I’d been feeling. I relaxed into a sleepy meditative state as everything melted away. It seemed longer than 90 minutes but was right on time. Divine. Soothing. Healing. I felt relaxed and amazing afterwards for the rest of the day. I would highly recommend Allison healing services!

Being a massage therapist myself, I’m very picky with my massage. I’ve had a lot of bodywork done and I must say that Allison is hands down one of the best massage therapists that I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. Everything she does before, during, and after the treatments are done with pure intention and care. This was the first time I have ever received ashiatsu and I never thought I would love someone’s feet rubbed all over my body so much but I think that is now one of my favorite modalities after receiving from Allison. If you’re thinking about booking an appointment with her, you won’t regret it

Allison is skilled and gifted. I particularly appreciate the inborn sensitivity she brings to her practice, a quality that’s super important and sort of hard to find. Ashiatsu was intense but in a great way, will definitely be back.

Allison is simply remarkable. A unique combination of good-humored, highly skilled, and entirely professional, with a highly sensitive touch and a profound commitment to her clients and her craft. In the several years I've worked with her, now, I have *never* been less that entirely satisfied, and immediately looking forward to the next appointment. I'm a big fan.

Allison is a wonderful practitioner! The treatment she provided me was extremely beneficial for both my physical and mental health, and she made me feel so comfortable and relaxed throughout our time together. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a positive experience with someone who is both personable and professional!

Allison is truly skilled and attentive. She took the time to understand my preferences and any specific areas that needed extra attention. Allison applies the right amount of pressure with both her hands & feet. I could feel the stress melting away, and couldn’t help, but drift into a state of pure bliss. She will leave you feeling rejuvenated, relaxed, and pampered. I’m looking forward to my next appointment!

Allison is a gifted practitioner who radiates a friendly, welcoming, and calming energy. I booked several massage treatments with her to alleviate discomfort in my hip and shoulder, and I now have full range of motion again in both places. And the hot stone massage is wonderful! Allison communicates well to ensure that I am always comfortable with the pressure and the style of the treatment. I have also taken her yoga classes and they are the right amount of dynamic and grounding. I highly recommend Shakti in the Desert's offerings.
