ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm Alison

Alison Butler Bio Photo.png

I am:

  • an advocate for feeling like the best version of yourself.

  • a certified Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) facilitator/instructor.

  • a conference keynote speaker and workplace trainer in burnout prevention, mental wellbeing and stress management. 

  • a creator of online programs that support your mental wellbeing and burnout prevention.

  • a mom of 2.

The drive to continue conversations around mental health begins with my own personal experiences.  In 2017 I started experiencing physical health symptoms that I didn't understand and spent months visiting a variety of Doctors and medical professionals. Eventually I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety. I believe this stemmed from years of undiagnosed burnout. 

In my daily life, not much appeared to change on the outside.  I continued to work full-time, raise a family and run a business. However, taking a closer look at my own mental health has had a profound impact on my own life.  I believe that my mental health diagnosis is one of the best things to ever happened to me because it has led me here to share my own experiences with others.  More on my Mental Health story here

My goal is to talk about mental health and wellbeing in a way that everyone can understand. I want to break down barriers of what mental health "looks like" and share the message that we can all work together to change our own mindset about mental health and to support others.

I was born and raised in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada where I currently reside with my husband and 2 children. 

I love speaking and working with workplaces and encourage you to reach out and connect with me to talk more about how we can work together
