Alison Canavan

As a mindfulness teacher, Alison believes that awareness in all areas of our lives creates space for change. Until we fully accept who and where we are in this moment, we can’t take steps on the path to where we would like to be. Bringing mindfulness gently into all areas of your life helps to bring trained awareness to the forefront, empowering you to make better decisions, become less reactive, less stressed and more content.


For organizations, less stressed and more content individuals leads to a healthier company and greater growth.


Alison shares key tools and starting points for people focusing on her mantra that; ‘small changes done consistently bring about lasting differences in our lives’. This session includes mindful tips to gratitude, sleep and stress management.

After years of trying to find happiness through external means and devastating relationships with life and addictions, Alison turned her life around by connecting with her infinite internal resources.

In this talk, Alison lifts, shifts and ignites your spirit helping you to tap into your own infinite potential within. Alison explains that no matter where you are in life or what you are going through, we all have greatness within. However, we are often limited by our paradigms and limited thinking patterns. Once we learn to recognize these, we can all live a life beyond our wildest dreams.


Alison teaches accessible lifestyle tools like gratitude, mindfulness, and journaling in her own unique way and introduces life hacks like her ‘Stop, Catch, Change’ technique so you can begin to catch your thoughts, change them and live a life you truly deserve living.


This talk can be tailored for both individuals seeking personal growth and organizations seeking a stronger corporate culture and business growth.

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 talk, Alison looks at life like a game where we all have the choice to take part. We do this by becoming a conscious or an unconscious player. Are you a victim or a victor in your own life? Alison offers various different thinking tools to help you become not only an active and conscious player of life but a thriving and joyful one too.

When we avoid life, we become disconnected and suffer with a disease of body, mind, spirit--or all three. This disconnect stunts our personal and professional growth.


When we wake up to our true potential, freedom awaits. By connecting with our emotions, we can begin to heal different aspects of ourselves that we have suppressed over time.


The greatest prison in this life is the one our mind creates. In this talk, Alison looks at the importance of catching your thoughts to help free your mind to not believe everything you think.


Having suffered with chronic anxiety and depression for nearly 20 years, Alison not only talks from experience but has also studied and worked with hundreds of people in her private practice.


She also looks at how we can train our mind to think differently using various mindfulness and gratitude practices.
