MEET ALISON
Hi my name is Alison Adair and my mission on the planet is to know myself more, be a conscious connector, a bridge between health and holistic education.
My passions revolve around the youth, nutrition, food, cooking and collaborations; all which foster positivity.
Since I was a teenager, I've always been involved with children. Whether it was childcare for families, substitute teaching or coaching little league, empowering children has played a major role in my life.
I've resided in 7 states and 3 countries, completing my MS in Clinical Nutrition, my AO in Culinary Arts, a cooking school for children and 8 years of teaching kids in Taiwan and Thailand. I was blessed to continue my travel all over Southeast Asia and many other worlds over the past 20 plus years.
In 2014, I followed my heart to Washington where I worked as a personal and private chef, caterer, cooking class teacher, nanny and nutrition educator. Creative cooking for clients with multiple food sensitivities and chronic health conditions became my specialty along with a wealth of experience in U.S.A. classrooms.
Little did I know years later, I would follow suit with chronic physical pain and debilitating disease which has provided me the ability to expand and grow. My journey over the last 5 years led me to a variety of healing modalities which have been transformational… one of them being the power of manifestation.
Through this process, a magical bus and multifaceted humanitarian project was birthed. Her name is Persistence, aka Percy, helping others, specifically children through sensory exploration and heart connection.
Persistence and I have helped children foster independence as well as interdependence across Washington, California and Oregon and the dream is continue on through: cooking, art, sound healing, movement and elemental wellness workshops; which help create conscious awareness and teach relatable real world skills to help navigate through life.
My overall dream is to continue traveling and creating more community and unity through a variety of workshops.
Alison and Persistence are available for bookings at private homes,
organizations, festivals, community gatherings and events of all varieties.
