Allison Hulett

Picture this: Designer suit. Corner office. “Success” by every external measure. And there I was, holding back tears while my son texted me from his lil watch, debating who loved who more.

On paper, I had it all. In reality? I was drowning. Running organizations from the brink to thriving, yet drowning in complaints. Leaving a marriage that imploded in betrayal, only to find myself in another where my voice didn’t matter.

But I had followed all the rules, right?!

✓ Avoid conflict to keep everyone comfortable
✓ Let disrespect slide to “keep the peace”
✓ Make myself smaller so others could feel bigger

Then in 2020, I did something radical: I jumped the moving train. Took a 60% pay cut. Created space to breathe. And in that space, I discovered something life-changing: trauma-informed somatic healing.

Today, I earn more than I ever did chasing approval. I have relationships that give back. I take up space—without apology. And I help others do the same.

Her extensive experience spans direct clinical work and executive leadership.
