ABOUT ALLISON

Allison Distler

I used to struggle with feeling comfortable in my skin, of understanding how to be myself in relationships with others.  I had an ingrained habit of fighting – a war between body and mind, between what to do and how to be. Back then, I believed that if only I could do the right thing, be more acceptable, choose the right path in life I would be able to solve these feelings and somehow, fit-in.

Deep down, I had been convinced that I had a problem. And believed I was the only one feeling disconnected to my body – and to society.  I was unsure and lacked confidence that I would be able to live a meaningful life without physical and emotional pain.

My course of life changed when I had a near death experience (NDE).  I saw through the veil of my own struggles, and touched into a realm beyond the physical that felt like true love.  This kind of 'love' is my life calling.  While my NDE changed my spiritual configuration, I knew my physical and emotional body still needed tending.  I wanted to be able to integrate my mind, emotions, and body with the spiritual understanding I'd been gifted.

It wasn’t until I began the path of embodiment through The Hakomi Method of Mindfulness Based Self Discovery and Rolfing SI that I started to learn how to to integrate my physical and emotional bodies into a full self.   The path of somatics and embodiment has helped me live a vital physical existence integrated into a vital metaphysical knowing.  For me, the physical IS the root of the metaphysical.  As Dr. Ida Rolf was famous for saying "you can't have the meta-physical without the physical."

As I’ve come more fully into my physical form, it’s been a long awaited homecoming, and it’s been the greatest relief of my life.

Now, I'm on the path of my calling to connect with who are called towards an full embodied life; I aim to be of service to those who are seeking to feel more at home as an integrated human being. The reason I’m in business is to honor and steward the creative aspect underneath all physical form that is available to us all; to bring light to the conscious, co-creative capacity we have in the physical universe of our body, mind and actions.   To respect our interconnection with each other and the whole of a nature.

I offer my work to others who are forging their own mythic journey of embodiment and human potential with grace and tenderness. I’m here to spark dialogue within the quiet reservoirs of our intuition that we are it – we are the authors of ourselves, and we have the right, the agency, and capacity to shape our river of life.
