ALISON FRASER, RMT

Alison Fraser is a clinical educator, author and award-winning researcher focused on post-trauma care. With a background in craniosacral and massage therapy, her work centers on three essentials: touch, presence, and time. Her practice is grounded in an understanding of how trauma, pain and chronic conditions impact the nervous system.

Alison’s journey in healthcare began in 2009 with the founding of Flourishing Family Doula Care, where she supported at-risk families through the transition to parenthood. Her career later took her to frontline hospital work, where she began to understand that "healing" often involves far more than what’s covered in clinical texts. She saw firsthand how compassionate, supportive presence profoundly impacts a patient's recovery, whether they're healing from an accident that happened that morning or something they experienced years ago.

Driven by the belief that trauma-informed practices are essential for comprehensive healing, Alison authored Touch After Trauma: A Practical Guide for Manual Therapists, to support her colleagues and offer hope to trauma survivors.

Beyond her clinical practice, Alison is a passionate educator and advocate for trauma-informed care. She actively engages in research to advance the understanding of trauma recovery, aiming to empower therapists and improve patient outcomes. Alison currently teaches and practices in Victoria, BC.
