Hi I'm Arrah, Founder & CEO of Higher State Consulting.  I'm also a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT).  

Thank you so much for checking out my site. 

I have spent many years in corporate America and was able to attain a great deal of success.  Unfortunately, early in my career I didn't have the tools to manage my mindset and physiological states.  I only knew one way to be, and that was wide open, all in.  Which is a burnout recipe. I've been there with mental tapes playing things like: "What am I doing here?  I can't go on like this for the rest of my life."

Then, I took a trip to India to further my yoga certifications and had a truly skilled teacher explain the art of meditation to me.  It was life altering for me.  When I reentered my corporate life after learning and using these skills on a daily basis, I was wildly more successful plus I was calm.  I was managing more work at a higher quality and able to quietly walk away at the end of the day.  I was more focused and productive with my time during the day and more plugged in after hours.  

When I work with clients, no matter the type of engagement or goals, I always include mindfulness as part of the conversation.  If you want to level up but you just can't seem to get it done, getting your mind right is step 1.  And learning to control the fluctuations of your mind is a skill that has to be taught.  I spent way to much time trying to force change into my life and failing, and then following up with the terrible self talk for said failure.  I can help you break out of that pattern and get focused on where you want to go. 

So, now everything has come full circle with Higher State Consulting.  If you want to be a better sales person, a better manager, a better spouse, a better parent and just a better human being, then you have to work on getting into a Higher State of mind.  Success is a natural result of improving your internal state. 

Hi, I’m Allison—a former social worker transformed into a yoga and meditation teacher.

After 15 years in social work, I found myself burnt out, suffering from years of grief, searching for peace and wanting change. 

Yoga became my lifeline. What began as a personal healing journey evolved into a path of deep transformation—and ultimately, a calling to help others reconnect with themselves.

I’m an ERYT-500 and YACEP through Yoga Alliance, with additional certifications in Yin, Restorative, and Prenatal Yoga. I teach Kundalini, Vinyasa, Yin, Restorative, Pranayama (breath work), and meditation—each with an emphasis on accessibility, safety, and nervous system support.

My classes are warm, grounded, and light-hearted. I aim to create a space where you can breathe deeply, feel fully, and show up just as you are. My approach is informed by personal healing and professional experience—offering practical tools and embodied practices that help you move through stress, trauma, and everyday life with greater ease.

Over the years, my own practice—especially meditation—has taught me how to recognize what I need and meet myself with compassion. I’ve learned how to work with old patterns and limiting beliefs. I know which practices help me come back into balance, and I want to help others find that same inner clarity.

I believe that healing isn’t about fixing ourselves—it’s about remembering our wholeness.

In my classes, I’ll support you in letting go of what no longer serves you, learning to trust yourself, and stepping fully into your potential.
