Building sustainable businesses and embodied yoga practices...
without the burnout.
Alison Réaume works at the intersection of two worlds most people think don't belong together: strategic business operations and nervous system-aware yoga.
After nearly two decades of supporting CEOs, entrepreneurs, and yoga teachers, Alison recognized a pattern: talented, passionate people were burning out not because they lacked skills or dedication, but because they were operating beyond their actual capacity in both business and their bodies.
Her own wake-up call came at 28, when what was supposed to be a routine surgery to remove a tumor turned into a life-threatening emergency. Recovery forced her to confront how much she'd been overriding her body's signals, pushing past limits, and treating capacity as limitless. That experience didn't just change her yoga practice; it fundamentally shifted how she understood sustainable success in business.
Today, Alison works as a fractional COO for wellness entrepreneurs and a systems strategist for wellness entrepreneurs who are ready to stop over-functioning. She helps service-based founders build businesses that support their nervous systems, not deplete them.
And she teaches somatic yoga for entrepreneurs that prioritizes regulation and embodiment over performance and perfection.

Structure and strategy must be grounded in reality, what's actually possible for you right now, not what you think you "should" be capable of.
Attentiveness
Meeting each person exactly where they are, holding space for both vision and capacity, whether on the mat or in the business.
Compassion
Honouring your time, energy, individuality, and the human behind the work because sustainable growth happens at a pace that's not rushed.

What people say about Alison’s methods
Alison was integral in developing, executing and monitoring marketing and customer facing initiatives. Her dedication, emotional intelligence and drive were an inspiration.
—WENDY
She truly understood my vision. What I love most is that she doesn't just offer advice—she helps me execute it in a way that amazes me every time.
—LAURA
On and off the mat—
"Alison respected my way of doing things, while bringing in her own fantastic ideas, feedback and skills to the table."
"Alison was integral."
Alison is innovative, efficient, reliable, and a pleasure to work with! More importantly, if she saw something that looked off, or suggestions, she brought them forward (always nice to be working with someone who has your back).
—ZAHRA
"Someone who has your back."
Remembering when I followed my dream [of becoming a yoga teacher]. You changed my life, love you always.
—MEL
"You changed my life."
She taught me instead to “explore my edge” & really feel the benefits of slowing down which brought a totally new dimension to my practice. To “take what works & leave what doesn’t” is something that guides me everyday & every practice.
—REBECCA
"Before Alison, I was all about 'push, push, push'."
