What is Rewilded Roots?

Meet Ally

Where clinical knowledge meets nature's wisdom.

For more than 30 years, I've walked alongside both people and animals through illness, healing, recovery, and transformation. My journey began in veterinary medicine, where I developed a deep understanding of anatomy, physiology, behavior, rehabilitation, nutrition, and compassionate care.

Yet over time, I realized that healing rarely exists in isolation.

The body reflects the mind. Emotions influence physical health. Our relationship with nature, our environment, our animals, and ourselves all shape our wellbeing in ways that cannot always be measured—but can often be deeply felt.

That realization led me beyond conventional care and into years of study in Reiki, Traditional Chinese Medicine, animal massage and acupressure, forest therapy, herbalism, sound healing, women's wellness, meditation, and nature-based spiritual traditions.

Today, Rewilded Roots brings these worlds together.

My approach honors both evidence-informed practice and ancient wisdom, offering a compassionate space where healing is personalized, grounded, and deeply connected to the whole person—or animal.

I don't believe healing is about fixing what is broken.

I believe it's about creating the conditions where the body can regulate, the mind can soften, the spirit can reconnect, and each individual can remember their own innate capacity for healing.

Whether I'm supporting a woman through a life transition, helping an animal find greater comfort and balance, or teaching others to reconnect with nature's wisdom, my intention remains the same:

To help you come home to yourself.

Why Clients Choose Rewilded Roots

With more than 30 years of experience in veterinary medicine, rehabilitation, behavior, nutrition, and holistic wellness, I bring a unique perspective that bridges clinical understanding with nature-based healing.

My work is further enriched through years of study and practice in Reiki, shamanic healing, Traditional Chinese Medicine, herbalism, aromatics, sound healing, forest therapy, women's wellness, womb healing, shadow work, and spiritual life coaching.

Rather than focusing on a single technique or modality, I draw from each of these disciplines to create sessions that are thoughtful, personalized, and guided by your unique needs. Whether supporting a woman, an animal, or someone navigating a season of change, my approach honors the connection between body, mind, spirit, and the natural world.

Healing isn't about fitting into one philosophy—it's about finding the approach that allows you to feel whole again.

Not sure where to begin?

TESTIMONIALS

More than Massage

My dog received regular massage from Alyson for a year we lived in the area. There are a couple things I know to look for in an animal massage therapist, and Alyson was a perfect fit. She was excellent at reading my dog and knowing when to give him space and when to go back to a problem area. Her sessions involve range of motion stretches, which are important. Each visit was long enough for my dog to fully relax and usually snore. Her feedback was invaluable for my awareness of my dog’s health and things that may be contributing to persistent issues. Before I moved, she also did one session with my roommate’s dog, who was excited and not used to massage, but still showed immediate improvement in her limp. Alyson is intelligent, compassionate, thorough, and professional, and we were very grateful to have found her.

Emotional & Anxiety Sessions

I am amazed at the progress my English Bulldog has made while undergoing treatment by Alyson. When she first started working with him, his anxiety was through the roof. Anytime I had guests or family over, he would attack. Alyson has worked with him for several months and I am thrilled to say there is a HUGE difference. He is not anxious anymore and when I have family and friends over, they do nothing but comment on how much of a difference they see in him. He has episodes once in a blue moon as compared to SEVERAL TIMES DAILY! Thank you Alyson for helping Stewie release his anxiety and live a loving comfortable existence.

The Power of Reiki

Alyson’s gifts with Reiki and Acupressure have not only helped my horse, Dice, but she has helped the relationship I have with him. She has helped move us to a new wonderful level. After Dicey’s accident, she came to do his first Reiki session. My veterinarian wanted to know if I had done anything different in my on-going wound treatment because the amount of healing in the week since she had seen him last amazed her! I explained that he had a Reiki session done by Alyson. My Vet’s answer was, “keep doing it”! I believe the treatments got him out of stall rest much sooner than anticipated. He was more comfortable, and I was more comfortable. It is because of Alyson and the results I saw that I have gone on to become Reiki certified too. The acupressure sessions Dicey has had brought immediate visible results. Alyson takes the time to explain everything so you can understand what she is seeing and what my horse is saying. I learned a lot about my guy! She is amazing!

When Holistic Compliments Western

Last year my female Dalmatian had a spinal cord injury when she was 11 years old. After taking her to the vet for a diagnosis, I did some research and found out that acupuncture and hydrotherapy were the recommended modalities for this specific type of injury. Until I could get Nina to a specialist, Alyson made a house call and spent over an hour with her, administering Reiki and various massage techniques. Within two days, Nina was attempting to get up and walk around, something her legs were not quite capable of handling at that point. Alyson continued to send Reiki to Nina (which augmented the Reiki energy I was administering also) throughout the entire acupuncture treatment. Even before the acupuncture started, Nina was up and walking. A year later, unless you know what to look for, you’d never know the dog had sustained the debilitating injury she did. Alyson is always ready and willing to give me advice on the various ailments senior dogs face. My now-13-year-old male Dalmatian has developed fatty tumors and Alyson has given me advice on what to look for to ensure they are not cancerous. She even developed one of her healing sprays specifically for her. I cannot say enough about how knowledgeable Alyson is, and how calming a demeanor she has when faced with a hysterical dog-mom. She is truly the best.

The Omen Days Workshop

Ally has such a wonderful, natural way of storytelling. Her Omen Days Event was inspiring and informative, delivered with a sense of being held. She has a fiery spirit that shines through with the intention of connection, and her presence is grounding. It felt like we were sitting around a fire, listening to old stories from days past. I thoroughly enjoyed this event and will continue to attend Ally’s events when offered.
