HOW DOES THIS WORK?
What
Coaching often waits for answers to come from the client, but I strongly believe movement can happen from following a set of tools, testing their outcomes and quickly experiencing motivation from seeing what actually works for your specific mind, body, and lifestyle. This is what we will do.
I provide a warm, focused and thoughtful roadmap, personally and professionally, for those who want to communicate successfully, problem-solve efficiently and experience the fulfillment of accomplishment and personal balance.
How
While being your sounding board, we will drill down to the data that makes up any problem, assess, game-plan, test and engage them. I’ll then be your advocate, offering specific tools and lifestyle adjustments to use along the way. Using specific systems and positive psychology, I’ll guide you through how to begin any venture or goal, help open up your creativity, create a sense of peace and inner accomplishment, and get it done.
““I’m not sure I’ve met someone more open, kind and sincere. She set me at ease instantly and got right to work. She’s insightful and knows how to turn that into steps that are simple to take. I’d recommend her as a coach in a heartbeat. ””
Welcome! I’m Allison.
My coaching blends psychology, emotional resilience training, and practical performance strategy to help people operate at a higher level — both internally and in the roles that matter most.
I work with maritime professionals navigating long rotations, operational pressure, leadership responsibility, and life offshore. Together, we strengthen emotional regulation, decision-making under stress, sustainable performance, and the ability to transition home without carrying tension into family life.
I also work with adults facing transition, anxiety, social or career pressure, and major life transitions. We build confidence, improve follow-through, strengthen time management, and create clarity around choices — so they move forward with steadiness instead of overwhelm.
Across both specialties, the work centers on resilience, structured growth, and sustainable progress. Whether someone is leading or supporting a crew at sea or preparing for big life changes, the skills are similar: regulate stress, communicate clearly, make aligned decisions, and follow through consistently.
I know what it means to do important inner work while balancing responsibility, ambition, family, and leadership. The tools I teach are not abstract — they are practical skills that can be learned, strengthened, and mastered over time.

CLIENT REVIEWS
"You occupy a “Goldilocks zone” of specific knowledge about my work. By this I mean that you already understand the most impactful aspects of my career, while not being so completely knowledgeable that you bring preconceived notions or biases to our discussions. You maintain a sense of curiosity and willingness to listen."
Tanker CAPTAIN
“Your familiarity and ’skin in the game’ has facilitated a quick and easy rapport. Good coaching is dependent on the ability to quickly establish trust between parties. I believe that we have done so.
Captain
We brought Larkspur Wellness in to coach our marine operations team, and I've been working with Allison myself. I love it. Allison knows this industry. I never have to stop and explain the lingo or walk her through the politics. She just gets it.
