Allison is a scholar, advisor, teacher, and musician with 25 years experience in Vedic (ancient India) wisdom systems. She's dedicated half of her life to exploring practices that prove to be easy technologies for calming the mind and living with more grace. A true Indofile, Allison loves to help people explore the possibility of living life authentically and from the heart. Life itself is the greatest work of art, and we each have so much agency despite whatever our external circumstances look or feel like.

The Intersection of Vedic Astrology and Indian Music

Her innovative program "Nāda Nakṣatra Upāsana" teaches a practice she's been learning as an oral tradition for the past decade that links Vedic Astrology with South Indian rāga music learned from her primary mentor K. Sridhar This program begins each January. It is essentially ancient sound healing that works with specific tones placed in the body based on your birth chart. Follow this link to learn more.

Allison has served as a Vedic Astrology Teaching Assistant for her Jyotișa teacher Steven Highburger since 2021. A serious student of Astrology since 2014, Allison has a growing private practice where she counsels people who are seeking guidance. She also tutors Vedic Astrology students who are learning to read charts themselves. Most of her work is on Zoom, and she is grateful to be able to work with people all overthe world. She also has an office in Uptown Kingston, NY where she offers in person counseling sessions.

Songs & Stars: Nāda Nakṣatra Upāsana

South Indian Healing Sound Practice

This Nāda Yoga (Yoga of Sound)  program can help you work through unprocessed emotions and complicated feelings by way of listening and resonating with rāga music, Classical Indian music. 

All music can affect the emotions, but there are particular rāgas that may be of immediate and profound benefit to your manas, your emotional and instinctual mind. We use the rāga, a scale, that is associated with the position of the moon when you were born. 


Includes:

  • 4 one hour private sessions 
  • 7 live group classes 
  • pre-recorded materials from previous cohorts
  • WhatsApp audio and video support as you integrate the practices  


Repeat Students are welcome to join. We can work with a new rāga based on other astrological configurations in your birth chart, or we can go deeper with the rāga you've already been given.

Allison's long-time interest in the spiritual philosophies that underpin the physical and mental exercises associated with yoga has served her well in grasping how sound/ tone can be a spiritual tool.

Support Allison's Book project

Allison's music guru K. Sridhar has asked her to write a book on the intersection of Indian Classical Music and Vedic Astrology. K. Sridhar has taught her in the oral tradition for the past 10 years and there are no books currently available on this subject. This unique vidya has tremendous potential to calm the mind, even the highly overactive mind that has a hard time settling down.


Writing a book is a huge undertaking energetically and financially. Your contributions towards a 2026 completion and subsequent publication are greatly appreciated.
