Allura Adelson

Your audience will be inspired, entertained, and will walk away with a valuable understanding about how to rise above (or, go under, around, or through!) obstacles in her path. Warm and engaging, Allura speaks to each member of your audience, giving her  a feeling of personal attention. 

Each of you in the audience has her own specific obstacles, in some cases unique. Allura will narrate her own experiences, tell others' stories, and share her own insights. She will highlight ways to help you be:

• Bigger than your challenges
• Stronger than you thought you could be
• More aware of your own abilities and how to use them

Allura has been an entrepreneur a writer, a seeker, a meditation teacher, a wife, and mother of two sons. Set on a course for "happily ever after," her life took a sharp turn further complicated by road bumps and detours when "growing pains" doctors had diagnosed in her oldest son's right leg turned out to be much more than that. The course of her journey took her on a path unasked for, unwanted, and, at times, overwhelming. Her deepest beliefs were rocked as she was called upon to take on situations she had never thought she should, to give more than she ever thought she could, and to grow in ways that she never thought she would.

Faced with enormous obstacles, Allura found she had a choice: She could become bitter and bowed down by life, or she could re-embrace the principles she had held for decades, living the truth of them to rebuild a life she could love. Weathering the worst took time, letting go, and a conscious decision to focus on a better future.

She also discovered that making that one-time decision was not enough. Life brings with it a series of obstacles, and with each one, new decisions need to be made; past decisions, need to be continually renewed. She was up for the challenge, and believes that 99.9% of the people can meet the challenge, too!You and your audience members can use what Allura has learned to help you every day of your lives.

Allura will engage and inspire your audiences with her story. From her vantage point she can help each listener face her own obstacles with greater ...

• power
• grace
• committment ...

... while maintaining her integrity as an individual. She will give you and your audience not only her story, but vital insights she learned that helped her, and will help you, as well.

Allura has given hundreds of presentations on meditation, and growing in wholeness, laughter and love, and is now focusing on helping others grow in amazing, unexpected ways as they face, and conquer, their own obstacles, with keynotes and workshops. She holds a Master's degree, a Bachelor's in Journalism, is a former feature reporter. and has earned her Advanced Communicator Gold Award in Toastmasters.  She believes we can all use our challenges as stepping stones to boost us to the happier, more fulfilling life we all deserve.
