Products
In 2020, Allison began All the Feels Company to teach children brain-based strategies to manage emotions. Using the same strategies she uses in her office, Allison created her first product, a set of feeling cards which includes 20 brain-based regulation strategies to calm the mind and body. Her next product, the feelings poster, helps children measure the intensity of emotions to determine which strategies will be most effective. She pairs her books with her products to create specific toolkits to help children overcome debilitating emotions. She struggled with anxiety as a child and wants kids to have what she didn't - effective strategies to help children handle anything that comes their way.
