In her work she looks at ‘The Full 360’ approach to our health and wellbeing, encouraging people to look at all areas of their lives and not just one or two.

  • Eating well and what that means
  • Gratitude
  • Daily happiness habits
  • Joining the dots with your health and wellness

Alison Canavan

Health and Wellness Expert

Alison was catapulted onto the international stage at the tender age of 15 when she represented Ireland in the Supermodel of the World competition in Las Vegas and had the privilege of presenting ‘Entertainment TV’ for the event. This has spawned a near 22 year career in the fashion industry, which has taken her to the main fashion capitals of London, Paris, Milan and New York and as far around the world as South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and Asia. After spending 7 years in London she moved to New York where she was based for 8 years working all over the US. Her career diversified into TV, Film, and voice-over work and most recently into writing. There, she worked with renowned voice and dialect coach to the stars, Sam Chwat as well as many other great teachers.

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.”
