#21: Allison Smith - War On Autism
Allison Smith, originally from Belmont and currently residing in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, has led a remarkable journey of personal and professional growth. Her roots trace back to Belmont High School, where she graduated with honors, and Northeast Mississippi Community College, earning a Radiology Technology Degree. Furthering her education at the Cardiac and Vascular Institute of Ultrasound in Mobile, AL, Allison dedicated 8 years to the field of cardiac and vascular ultrasound.
Not only did Allison excel in her career, but she also embarked on an entrepreneurial path by founding Center Stage dance studio in Belmont. Her leadership impacted the lives of countless young girls, running the studio successfully for four years. Subsequently, Allison, alongside her sister Heather Edmondson, acquired the Belmont Medical Clinic. She navigated the business through the challenges of the COVID era, showcasing her resilience and adaptability.
In 2021, Allison transitioned to a new chapter as a stay-at-home mom for her son, Isaac. Despite finding joy in motherhood, her ambitious spirit sought additional avenues. At six months old, Isaac became the catalyst for Allison's journey into life coaching, a pursuit she considers her most valuable education. At 12 months, when Isaac displayed signs of autism, Allison delved into holistic approaches, tirelessly researching and implementing dietary and detox changes. Witnessing Isaac's significant improvements, Allison extended her knowledge to other parents facing similar challenges.
Out of her desire to help, War On Autism was born. As a one-on-one diet and detox coach, Allison provided invaluable support to parents seeking holistic solutions for their children. Recognizing the financial barriers some faced, she expanded her reach through free platforms like TikTok and her podcast, offering education and encouragement.
To deepen her expertise, Allison pursued certification in naturopathy, further empowering her to assist parents worldwide. Through War On Autism, Allison has positively impacted the lives of numerous children across the globe, from Australia and the UK to India, Africa, Afghanistan, and throughout North America. Her dedication to holistic healing and commitment to accessible support truly make her a beacon of hope for families navigating similar journeys.
