This is coaching for people who are creating, changing, recovering, and recommitting—often all at once.
Together we’ll clarify what matters, strengthen your capacity, and build rhythms that help you move forward with more ease.
Creating a Space Together
I’m Alison Avigayil, a certified Health & Wellness Coach.
In our work together, you can expect:
Creating clarity on what your vision is, what matters most now and what is the way forward.
Supportive, flexible structure where joy and play is a part of the process
Culturally relevant rituals and science-backed tools for helping you learn, grow and transform.
Trauma informed care — Nervous system support, pacing, clear boundaries
Gentle accountability that respects your humanity
Integration that is helps you create lasting change
Coaching can be fully secular, lightly reflective, or spiritually integrated by request.
Who you are
You’ll likely feel at home here if you are:
Going through a major transition and need structure or support
Are ready to make a change, but feel stuck of unsure how to begin
Having difficulties making decisions, prioritizing or following through
Wanting to develop sustainable habits, workflows or systems
Navigating burnout, overwhelm or high stress
Carrying grief, heartbreak, moral pain, or disillusionment
Living across cultures or come from a multicultural or interfaith background
Creative and/or artistic or feel a longing to return to creativity
Sensitive, intuitive and/or neurodivergent
Needing a trauma informed, consent- based approach
Curious about spirituality or rebuilding your relationship to it
From burnout to balance, my journey taught me that thriving is possible — even in times of chaos and collapse.
I’m here to support you on yours.
Here’s some of what I bring
I’m Alison Avigayil—a wellness coach shaped by both social science and spirituality, and by two decades working in high-pressure worlds of social change and creative work. I’ve lived across multiple continents, speak several languages, and carry a multi-cultural identity that’s always in conversation with place.
My lineage is multi-faith and I was raised in a home that included Jews, Christians, and Buddhists. I’m highly intuitive, sensitive, and neurodivergent—an orientation that can be a profound strength, and one that benefits from real care and skillful support.
For 20 years, I worked as a writer, human rights advocate, and social entrepreneur alongside individuals and organizations of many kinds—NGOs, UN agencies, media, tech companies, and startups, including Oxfam, Meta, and Jewish Voice for Peace.
I know firsthand how stress, grief, and trauma can shape our lives—and how easy it is to override the body’s signals until we’re depleted. After burning out more than once, I began taking wellbeing seriously—first as a personal change process, then as study and now as a practice I share with others.
Today I’m a certified Health & Wellness Coach through Headspace’s Training Institute, which provides a comprehensive year long program designed and overseen by a team of psychologists, psychiatrists, therapists, and nationally certified coaches. The program is approved by the National Board for Health and Wellness Coaching (NBHWC).
I’m also developing and practicing my own interfaith work, as the co-founder of the Social Change Sanctuary, a community that provides grief and gratitude practices to the public. If you’d like more of my background, you can read my full story on my personal website.
