Allison’s academic journey began at Northeastern University in Boston, where she graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in Biology. She went on to gain valuable clinical experience as a Pediatric Medical Assistant at Faulkner Hospital in Jamaica Plain, MA.

During this time, Allison developed a deep appreciation for Chinese Medicine, drawn to its holistic approach and its focus on supporting the body’s natural ability to heal—both in times of illness and as preventative care. This passion led her to pursue a four-year Master’s program at Southwest Acupuncture College in Santa Fe, NM, where she graduated summa cum laude with a Master of Science in Acupuncture.

Her first professional role as an acupuncturist was aboard cruise ships, where she provided care to people from all over the world while gaining invaluable clinical experience. The unique schedule of seeing patients every 1–2 days over the course of two weeks allowed her to clearly observe which treatment styles were most effective and refine her approach accordingly.

In 2016, Allison returned to New Hampshire to be closer to family and founded Basic Balance, where she is committed to providing thoughtful, effective care to her community. A lifelong learner, she continues to refine her skills and expand her knowledge. She has a particular interest in treating conditions that affect the head and face, with a focus on relieving headaches, migraines, and facial pain. Above all, Allison is dedicated to helping her patients feel empowered in their healing journey through compassionate, holistic care.
