Located at a quiet boutique hotel overlooking the Pacific, within walking distance to local shops & crystal clear beaches.

Allison has been in private practice as a registered psychotherapist for 13 years. Her experience as a relationship expert informs her work with individuals, with couples, and in group therapy. Her passion for personal growth is contagious & she attracts like-minded souls who are equally as committed to their own self-actualization.

More recently, Allison has been called to support women along their healing journey. This led her to create Phoenix Rising 90-day transformation - a program that brings together women who are moving through courageous inner changes.

Allison hosts in-person events for Phoenix Collective - her wildly successful women’s community. She’s also hosted numerous weekend retreats in the countryside of Ontario, where she brings women together to dive into deeper layers of healing, connection, and rest. Allison hosted her Mariposa Mexico Retreat in February 2020 - an intimate & life-changing experience for all who attended.

“The ‘Radiant Reset Retreat’ will bring playfulness, adventure, and feminine connection to the women who feel called to carve out this sacred time for themselves.

I chose this location because of it’s proximity to beautiful beaches and the walkability to local shops. You will be exposed to the language and culture of the Mexican people, which brings even more depth to your learning and personal growth. I’m excited to introduce you to shops owned by my dear friends and other incredible artisans!

There is so much inspiration woven into our full week together. I want you to feel cared for, to not worry about any details, to feel a sense of lightness, and ultimately to come back to you, and to your essence. I want you to return home feeling radiant, restored, and clear on the values that lead your life.”

Big Love,

Allison

Puerto Escondido is located in Oaxaca, the second-most southern state of Mexico. Oaxaca is best known for its indigenous peoples and cultures, which is ever-present in it’s fine crafting of colourful textiles, handmade pottery, and mouth-watering food.

Oaxaca is also one of Mexico's most biologically diverse states, with cooler temperatures in the mountains, as well as a hot beach climate, fresh water lagoons, and surf culture along the coast.

Playa Carrizalillo is one of Oaxaca’s most coveted beaches - a pristine blue, beach cliff-side, cove beach…only a 15 minute walk from Casa Cascada.

Having spent so much time in Puerto, Allison is looking forward to sharing her intimate lens of the culture, people, and nature with you!

“Seven nights was the perfect amount of time for the retreat. Long enough to process... not too long that I was beginning to get restless. I came because I was feeling lost…going through relationship stuff, transition in my career, winter blues, and the typical life anxieties...all of the things!

Taking this time was worth it. I feel renewed, and able to bring back my 'best/higher'-self to my friends and family, and work.

I didn't know some of the women on the retreat before coming, but felt very bonded to them by a few days in, and a developed sisterhood by the end.

Allison is a skilled listener and space holder for women. It feels nurturing and safe to be in her presence & she attracts amazing people!”

~ Katrina

“Taking the time for this retreat was SO worth it! I love Allison’s respect, love, appreciation and compassion for other cultures.

As women we don´t experience time fully for ourselves often enough and this was such a welcoming and safe space.

In my Mexican culture we tend to be co-dependant and it’s hard to take time on our own, so it was great to disconnect from EVERYTHING.

This should be prioritized at least once a year!”

~ Esmerelda

I came on Allison’s retreat to have a healing experience & to escape the winter weather!

I loved the beach, the sound of the waves, the seclusion, the pool, the food, and most of all, the connection I felt with all of the women.

It was beyond what I was hoping for…I knew I would have fun and learn about myself, but wasn’t expecting to dive as deep as we did. It was exactly what I needed!

Thank you to Allison for opening my mind and my soul to an experience that will stay with me forever.

~ Lindsay

“I said YES to Allison’s Mexico Retreat because I knew putting myself first during this critical time of grief was so important for my growth & healing.

I needed to be somewhere that I could work through things at my own pace, without any external pressures or expectations, and without having to caretake others.

Allison was a beautiful and gentle guide during this transformational week of personal growth. She was like a lighthouse, during my dark and stormy seas, but also there when my world was calm and beautiful.

This experience not only met all my expectations but surpassed them and I left the retreat feeling loved, fulfilled, nourished, nurtured, protected, encouraged, seen.”
