MY BIO

I'm Alison Lessard -

Founder of Lessard Luxury Wellness

THIS IS MY STORY

I'm a Meditation Guide, Intuitive Mentor, Spiritual Teacher, Artist & Creative Visionary based in Providence, RI with over a decade of experience in the healing arts, spending years devoted to supporting others with the art of conscious relating & cultivating deeper intimacy. In addition, I host the TBD podcast & facilitate workshops to bridge the worlds of creativity & spirituality through artistic expression. My spare time is spent making curated playlists & mood boards, drinking copious amounts of espresso, going on hot girl walks in the city & listening to dharma talks.

After graduating college with a degree in Communications & Fine Arts as a painter, my corporate career started in New York City in my early 20s. I worked for a luxury art gallery in SoHo, NYC & on both the sales/marketing team and opening Executive Team for five-star hotels such as The Ritz-Carlton & other newly-built upscale Manhattan properties.

I've had extensive training in intuitive development as a healing arts practitioner & spiritual entrepreneur, serving hundreds of people 1:1 & thousands of others via my social media platforms. I went to my first Hatha yoga & meditation class in 1999. After 20+ years involved in this industry, including a 200 hour YTT & mentorship to be a Meditation Teacher in the Gelugpa school of Tibetan Buddhism, I'm devoted to making ancient spiritual & mindfulness practices relatable to apply to our modern life.

In fall of 2023, my signature 12-week immersion is returning, Artistic Alchemy (using a combination of meditation practices & The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron as the framework).
