About Alison

My career has spanned labour economics, diamonds, telecommunications and now complementary medicine. Having reached my goal to be a senior executive in the corporate world (lastly as a General Manager with Telstra), I came to the distressing realisation that I was missing something in my life. I was accountable for a mutli-bilIion dollar revenue, had a large staff and a large salary, yet I lacked a feeling of fulfilment. I was aware that my colleagues and I were working ridiculous hours, experiencing high stress levels, ill health and were completely lacking balance in our lives. This not only affected us as individuals, but also those close to us. I felt that there had to be something more to life than what, by then, had appeared to me to be a continuous, fruitless “rat-race”. I had remained there for my ego and  my “need” for money and a sense of security, but I somehow knew that despite my fears, I had to make a change to my life.
