Meet Alison Rothman, Founder of Embody Life.
Alison is a Body-Centered Holistic Coach, Transformational Group Facilitator, Mentor, Teacher, Emotional Doula, Guide, and Advocate with nearly 30 years of study and experiences in somatic healing arts and therapy, yoga and meditation, authentic embodiment, and holistic healing.
Through her extensive studies, practices, and experiences, Alison provides clients and students with the ability to access their innate inner resource and release debilitating life patterns in order to access their truth, power, and reclaim their body, mind, heart, and soul connection.
Alison is passionate about supporting and empowering women to unwind and regulate their nervous systems, let go of stories and messages that are outdated, make peace with their bodies, and remember who they truly are. She has survived several highly traumatizing life events, including a near death experience and a house fire, and also has navigated common struggles like divorce and single parenthood where she personally utilizes these practices during times of stress and challenge.
Through various embodiment practices, deep self-inquiry, and the exploration of an array of natural health and wellness modalities, Alison has also healed herself of a debilitating eating disorder and has been in active recovery for 25 years providing her with the depth and experience of a sustainable and effective addiction recovery.
Alison has a gift for her empathic presence and an unwavering compassionate acceptance to support others. She is a transformational retreat leader known for her authenticity, depth, and trusted capacity to hold space for women to soften and release debilitating tensions, connect to their bodies, honor their true voices, stand tall in who they are, and remember their intrinsic power.
She is committed to supporting women on their path towards wholeness.
Alison carries with her an embodied understanding of the wisdom and intelligence of the body and brings to her sessions a deep intimacy with herself, her own process of life experiences, and a passion for the magic of everyday, real life living as medicine for growth and healing.
Alison is a tremendous believer in the potential that each of us holds in our own capacity for wellness and that often what is needed is that person to remind us of our innate goodness. Her depth of practice and devotion to healing from the inside out have shaped her in her ability to create a safe and welcoming space for clients and students to unfold, remember, and embrace who they truly are.
She leads women’s wellness retreats and groups, works one-on-one with clients, blogs, offers women’s retreats and events, women’s circles (both virtual and in person), is an author of a book coming out in 2025, and passionately shares her stories and wisdom to empower the collective.
She lives in beautiful Boulder, Colorado with her teenage son and partner.You can often find her meandering around in the mountains, on her yoga mat, dancing to live music, or cooking amazing food.
