At only 15 years of age, Alison started her fashion modeling career and traveled the world to showcase top designer brands. For 20 years, she walked the runway experiencing heights of success but also depression, addiction, and anxiety. In overcoming her personal challenges with meditation, mindset tools, studying, and training, she recognized her passion for health and wellness.
After decades of imparting these vital principles to thousands of private clients and top corporations, she’s created effective ways for individuals to overcome incidents of anxiety and depression. Some of her most promising techniques include meditation and journaling. In fact, she created a series for Ireland’s Aer Lingus airline, which focused on implementing these tools to help stakeholders overcome flying fears, jetlag, and anxiety.
As a frequent guest on podcasts and radio shows, Alison leverages her platform to passionately advocate for wellness through mind-body techniques. Featured in numerous newspapers and magazines, she continues to raise awareness about the techniques, which help individuals to take control of physical and mental health.
Educated at the Semel Institute of Neuroscience and Human Behavior at UCLA, Alison continues to align her workshops with a focus on health. As a raw food enthusiast and NLP Practitioner, she transforms lives by sharing her in-depth expertise in the wellness space.
See keynotes with Alison CanavanWe are in a period of transition where the possibilities are limitless, and the future of leadership invites a paradigm shift. This requires leaders who understand the power of self-awareness, authenticity, and compassion. “Leading from Within” is a visionary approach to leadership that fosters personal growth, inspires teams, and catalyzes positive change in society through the mastery of one’s own energy.
People think they need better time management, but they actually need better energy management. In a world where people feel like they are always playing catch up with a never ending to do list, it can be helpful to understand energy management. Understanding energy helps us to become more present, focused, efficient, less stressed, sleep better and have better quality relationships.
In this keynote, Alison encourages participants to look at energy as a currency, asking questions like; How do you spend your energy each day? Do you save your energy for when you need it? What habits deplete your energy and what habits are life giving?
Audiences will follow Alison through practical exercises in order to experience a shift in their own energy in real time. Energy is contagious and through the lens of understanding coherence, participants have the opportunity to understand the energy of stress and anxiety and how to transform that to an energy of presence, patience and calm.
Through heart centered consciousness and learning to master your own energy, the three C’s – connection, community, and coherence – become the pillars and foundation upon which a strong life and, in turn, a strong business is built.
Key takeaways include:
For some people the joy has literally been sucked out of life like a vacuum. The busyness epidemic has created a paradigm of surviving rather than thriving. This has caused increased individual stress as well as strained cultures in the workplace.
In this thought-provoking keynote, Alison looks at life like a game where we all have the choice to take part and become a key player in our own lives.
Are you a conscious or unconscious player? Are you a victim or a victor in your own life?
Alison offers various practical thinking tools to help you become not only an active and conscious player of life, but a thriving and joyful one too.
Key takeaways include:
Helping individuals transition from surviving to thriving and find joy and fulfillment in their lives by:

Key takeaways include:
Overall, the audience will walk away from Alison’s keynotes with a renewed sense of purpose, a commitment to personal growth, and a deep appreciation for the joy and possibilities life has to offer.
I first met Alison on the ‘Walk In My Shoes’ fund raising and awareness project. Ali was a rock of good sense and committed to sharing her story with anyone who needed help or could help. She has an intuitive personality and a need to open things up for discussion until she understands all aspects of the issues. Ali is a doer and I am grateful that she has given so much of herself to raise awareness for mental health issues in Ireland.

Alison Canavan was an uplifting, insightful speaker. We were lucky to have her keynote at our event; Refuel. She had our audience engaged, present, and even had people up and dancing. What I found most valuable was her takeaways for our team to lead a more meaningful impactful journey with their life.

We hired Alison at City National Bank to lead her HEART series program for the Women’s Network nationwide. This was especially helpful keeping colleagues grounded, focusing on self-care and motivated to achieve at the same time. Many had never experienced this kind of programming before and now practice what they have learned regularly.

Alison’s session was at once practical in terms of steps we can take to balance home life and work life, but in truth it delivered much more…introspection, self-reflection, emotion and motivation. It was real, tapped into our investment in our people in a genuine way and allowed us to look at our development as people rather than employees. It hit exactly the right note and at the right time. I would highly recommend Alison if you are open to honesty, sincerity and looking after your team beyond what the ‘job’ provides them.
I want to thank Alison so so much! It was simply wonderful – so much powerful information. Her energy and enthusiasm was infectious. Please thank her for us, we are incredibly grateful.
Alison has been a fantastic addition to the Allianz Active & Aware programme. Her enthusiasm and passion for Health and Wellbeing was palpable from the moment she arrived. Her honesty about her journey was refreshing and ensured that her presentation was incredibly interesting and most importantly enabled her to connect with the groups she was addressing. Her presentation style is effortlessly engaging, exuberant and infectious, and most importantly inspirational as she demonstrates how everyone has the ability to take control of our wellbeing destiny.
From the moment Alison walked on stage to keynote our annual convention, to the moment she walked off, the audience was absolutely captivated. Our event was themed “Transformation” and her insights, vulnerability, and energy aligned with the theme and inspired everyone present. As I looked across the room I saw people emotionally engage with her stories and grounding techniques. (Our executive team continues to use them to manage our stress to this day.) Even those uninitiated in mindfulness practices found her teachings practical for use in daily life. Our audience loved her message and we will be working more with her in the future.
YPO St. Louis recently hosted Aly Canavan for an evening of Mindfulness. Her rating was a perfect 10, along with comments from YPO members stating how much they enjoyed the resource. Personally, I’ve hosted hundreds of events over the course of my 17 year career with YPO. I think Aly is one of the best resources we’ve ever had. I would highly recommend her to other YPO chapters.
