Unlocking Your Body’s Infinite Possibilities: An Interview with Alison Cox

What if the limitations you perceive in your life are locked inside your body? What if your body isn’t a cage, but a key—a portal to a life beyond imagination? These are the questions that pulsed through my recent conversation with Alison Cox, a visionary massage therapist and embodiment guide whose work bridges the physical and energetic realms. Over Zoom, Alison’s warmth and wisdom transformed our interview into a journey of discovery—one that challenges everything we think we know about our bodies.

The Body as a Conscious Collaborator

Alison, founder of Alivio Massage Therapy, Inc in Denver, Colorado, is both a licensed massage therapist and an equine massage therapist. Her approach defies convention:

“I didn’t know my body was its own conscious being—like my own personal puppy. Now, I massage with myself and my body. It’s a partnership.”

She describes a pivotal moment early in her career: While working on a client’s hip, pain flared in her own elbow. When she moved her elbow, the pain vanished. Returning to the spot, it reappeared. Holding the position, Alison “dissipated” the stuck energy—a revelation that shifted her practice forever.

Acoustical Bodies: From Electricity to Song

Alison’s signature “Acoustical Body Sessions” reframe how we store trauma and limitation:

“Every time you think, I’m not enough or This pain will never leave, you lock electrical ‘1s and 0s’—binary judgments—into your body. What if your body could sing instead?”

She explains that our points of view solidify into physical tension, fascial adhesions, and lymphatic stagnation. Her work “turns judgment into acoustical waves,” freeing the body to express its innate vitality.

Where We Lock Limitation

Alison cites startling science to illustrate the mind-body connection:

Laughing Therapy & Cancer Remission: Documented cases where patients defied terminal diagnoses by releasing stress and choosing joy.

Multiple Personalities & Allergies: Famous studies show different personalities in one body can trigger or eliminate allergic reactions (e.g., hives from orange juice).

“The body follows the owner’s thoughts. So what are we asking of it? Disease, stiffness, aging—they’re often unconscious agreements.”

Embodiment: The Joy of Being

For Alison, embodiment is sensual, playful, and deeply relational:

“When I’m judging my body, I’m living in someone else’s reality. When I’m embodied, I marvel at a peach’s fuzz, a puppy’s tail, or a leaf’s veins. Everything becomes a conversation.”

She shared viral videos of trees bending to touch humans who ask—a metaphor for our untapped capacity to collaborate with life. Alison now communes daily with a riverside tree and even her cucumber plant:

“Their leaves reach for me. What else could we experience if we stopped outsourcing our reality to society’s rules?”

Reconnecting When You Feel Disconnected

For readers thinking, I can’t feel my body at all, Alison offers simple starters:

The Morning Body Scan:

Place hands on your chest and belly. Breathe.

Wiggle toes, then slowly move attention up: ankles, calves, knees, hips, organs, arms, jaw, skull.

Whisper: “Hello. Thank you. What do you need today?”

Muscle Testing:

Hold an object (e.g., food, clothing) and notice if your body leans forward (“yes”) or back (“no”).

Ask: “Body, is this a contribution?” See Alison’s video demo.

Try Unfamiliar Touch Therapies:

Access Consciousness Bars® (32 head points that release stored beliefs).

Lymphatic drainage or facial cupping (“the fountain of youth”).

Intra-oral massage for jaw tension.

“Honouring your body isn’t surrendering to its every whim—it’s including it. Ask: ‘Body, which of
these three shirts would you enjoy today?’”

Beyond Deep Tissue: Modalities as Portals

Alison demystifies bodywork options:

| Modality | Alison’s Insight

| Access Bars® | “Dissolves lifetimes of stuck decisions. It teaches your body to receive.”

| SOP (Symphony of Possibilities) | “Energetic sessions that restructure your being. Ease follows like a shadow.”

| Lymphatic Cupping | “Moves toxins, releases fascia. Even fades tattoos faster!”

| Energetic Facelift | “It’s not about vanity—it releases points of view that age you systemically.”

Choosing a Practitioner: Let Your Body Lead

Alison’s advice for finding the right therapist:

Ditch Price Prejudice: “Ask your body: Who can give you what you need? Not the cheapest or fanciest—the right one.”

Ambiance Matters: “Does the space feel expansive? Are there plants, soft light? Your body knows.”

Experiment Joyfully: “Try something new every two weeks—a foot massage, head massage, even rolling on a furry rug!”

The Invitation

Our conversation closed with Alison’s rallying cry:

“Your body isn’t a limit—it’s the key to freedoms you can’t yet fathom. What if you and your body became a cooperative team? What song would you sing together?”

As I dipped into my swimming pool after our call, I felt the water hold me like a session. My body hummed: This is just the beginning. Alison’s work reminds us that every sensation, every ache, every pulse is a conversation waiting to be heard—and the dialogue can start with a single question: “Body, what’s possible now?”
