MY BIO
I'm Alison Lessard & this is my story...
I'm a Spiritual Mentor & Tibetan Buddhist Meditation Teacher, with over a decade of experience mentoring both women & men in the realm of intuitive development, conscious relationship, deep intimacy & shadow alchemy. I consider myself a potent Catalyst for Spiritual Growth.
Anchor Your Mission in Devotion, Bold Expression & Unshakable Leadership
I empower Devoted Visionaries & Heart-Centered Spiritual Entrepreneurs who want to embody deeper levels of bold & magnetic self-expression, erotic & personal power & spiritual self-mastery, offering ancient wisdom in a modern, practical & relatable way.
Another core focus of my women's intimacy work (group/1:1) is cultivating deep intimacy while merging the worlds of spirituality & sexuality through meditative & sensual embodiment practice & potent shadow integration.
In my group & 1:1 containers, I offer spiritual tools rooted in a direct ancient lineage of Tibetan Buddhism that have led to enlightenment for thousands of years - like specific meditation practices, yogic breathwork & Buddhist philosophy - as well as exploration of Sacred Intimacy & somatic Sensual Embodiment.
_____________
As of 2024, I've had over 10 years of extensive training in intuitive development as a healing arts practitioner, intimacy coach & spiritual entrepreneur, serving hundreds of people 1:1 & thousands of others via social media platforms like YouTube & Instagram.
I went to my first Hatha yoga & meditation class in 1999 & have been involved for 20+ years in this industry, including training in a 200 hour YTT, private mentorship as a Meditation Teacher in the Gelugpa school of Tibetan Buddhism & ongoing dharma studies with Three Jewels Enlightenment Studio, New York City. I've also studied Tantric Arts & the Magdalene Mysteries with some deeply embodied feminine mentors.
My spare time is spent making curated playlists & mood boards on Pinterest, telling dirty jokes, drinking copious amounts of espresso & speaking Italian, going on hot girl walks in my city, listening to dharma talks & being an eternal romantic.
