Speaking, Coaching & Workshops

Working together

I offer a Healing Honestly Small Group Coaching Program for CSA survivors who have struggled with questions around memory. To learn more you can book a free 30-minute coaching call with me here. In addition to coaching, I travel around the country giving talks, hosting workshops and engaging on panels on the topics of healing from sexual trauma and supporting survivors. I am available to create custom work in partnership with academic and medical institutions, nonprofits, and corporations. Just fill out the contact form and we can talk about working together.

Healing Honestly Small Group Coaching Program

Are you a childhood sexual abuse survivor who has struggled with questions around memory looking for guidance and support for the voices of self-doubt and invalidation that live in our minds? These voices say things like, "I'm not a real survivor because _____" and "I can't heal unless I remember exactly what happened", and ,"I can't explain how I was okay for so long until I wasn't." My live coaching program teaches survivors how we can learn to turn down the volume of those untrue stories that can dominate our minds in order to hear our own inner wisdom more clearly. This program is great for people who are:

CSA survivors who have struggled with questions around memory and feelings of invalidation
Actively in therapy and have spent time exploring their healing
Ready to make a financial investment in their healing

Space is super limited and you can learn more by signing up for a free 30 minute coaching call here.

Caring for Ourselves While Working in Sexual Trauma Workshop participant

Alisa brought a welcoming and loving energy to our campus that was unmatched to any event I have ever attended. Her wit, empathy, and ability to connect with the audience created an environment filled with love, acceptance, and healing. The conversation that Alisa started on The University of Michgan's campus was vital and I hope to continue to have this conversation in the future.
