Linda Delman

Allison Porter was an asset to our small business and as it grew she expanded her expertise as well. She was well loved by every client that called. She was always willing to go the extra step and brought skill and patience to our busy days. I highly recommend Allison Porter, Linda Delman for The Embodied Life

Jeff Strasburg

I've known Allison since middle school, and have been thrilled to reconnect with her as an adult, and see how she's grown into a creative professional. She's an independent spirit who chooses her own path, but also recognizes the value of relationships and responsibility to those around her. She's the perfect person to go to for a fresh, innovative perspective.
