As seen in
When it comes to mental health,
silence is not the answer.
I know first-hand what it feels like to have lost my voice, and I also know what it feels like to have found it.
I have dedicated my time and energy to strengthen the conversation around mental health so that others don’t have to suffer in silence the same way as I did.
I have learned that vulnerability equals strength. The more we share, put our walls down, and get real, the more we connect with others and most importantly ourselves.
Together, let’s create a safe, compassionate, and supportive environment that proactively addresses issues of mental wellness.
If you are looking to create a culture of care in your workplace, community, or school, I would love to hear from you.

Book Allan so you can…
Redefine MENtal health
In an effort to avoid being perceived as weak or vulnerable, men have a tendency to bury their emotions deep within. Drawing from his personal experiences, Allan redefines what it means to be ‘a man’, and proves that vulnerability equals strength.
Empower people to reach out for help in times of need
Fear, stigma, and judgement are all factors that can keep us silent. Allan motivates individuals to speak out in times of need and reminds us that voicing our challenges has the power to set us free while giving others the permission to do the same.
Establish a deeper connection with self and others
In this fast-paced world we often underestimate the importance of having a relationship with ourselves and the people around us. Allan intentionally creates a safe space where people slow down, take the time to self-reflect, connect to themselves, and then to others.
Tap into the power of listening
Many individuals find it awkward to approach someone in distress, so they often choose to do nothing about it. Allan offers a simplified approach that highlights the importance of being there for others through the act of listening.
Create a culture of care
When team members are honest and upfront about what they’re going through, they create an environment where others feel safe to share, too. Allan reinforces the importance of feeling accepted and valued to strengthen the workplace culture.
