Alison is a lifelong builder of meaningful projects rooted in connection, purpose, and joy. After selling her real estate brokerage in 2024, she turned her attention to Happy People Hike and a growing collection of retreats, publications, and workshops that explore the intersection of nature, wellness, and soul work.

Happy People Hike is an outdoor lifestyle brand committed to preserving both people and the planet. Through events, gear, and community outreach, the brand shares the healing power of nature while making the outdoors more accessible and proving that caring for the planet can be fun. Locally, the brand is known for its Keep the Mitten Clean initiative—trash cleanups at parks and beaches that feel more like a celebration than a chore.

Alison’s work invites others to slow down, reconnect with themselves and the Earth, and find joy in the simple, meaningful moments that make life extraordinary.
