Welcome to 2 Feathers Coaching and Empowerment
The number 2 can symbolize partnership and balance, while beautiful and unique feathers can symbolize life. The rachis, or spine of the feather shows an individual's life path and the vanes stemming from the center signify the many choices and decisions made throughout that journey.
At 2 Feathers Coaching and Empowerment I am committed to facilitating personal and professional self-discovery and growth with the intention of contributing to a world in which humans are compassionate, self-aware and striving to be their best selves.
Let's partner together on the journey...

About Me
Hi! I'm Allison Hamilton, BSW.
As a social worker for 28 years in government and non-profit organizations, I have learned first-hand the joys and struggles that come with working in a helping profession.
I began my career as a child welfare social worker in 1996 working directly with children, youth and families in my community. I had the privilege of working with many great teachers throughout my career and as a constant learner who embraces change, I had opportunities to learn and grow into a variety of leadership roles. It was in these leadership roles that I became passionate about finding ways to support the growth and development of resiliency and compassion in humans who help other humans. I've learned throughout my time as a social worker, a leader, a mother of two amazing teens, a wife, a daughter, sister, aunt and friend that the biggest difference we make in another life is not through tools or assessments or therapeutic modalities. The biggest difference we can make in another life is through the quality of the relationships we develop. This is true for all of us in our personal lives and the myriad of roles we all fill. It is also true for us in our professional lives, whether we are leaders, members of a team or independent contractors.
Helping others, supporting others, and developing others is hard work. It is so worthwhile and so rewarding. It is also stressful and can lead to unintended impacts if there is no attention paid to the self. Like the analogy of placing the oxygen mask on yourself first, being a healthy and vibrant human who is also someone dedicated to helping others requires mindfulness, reflection, humility, compassion and self-care.
Professional coaching is an invaluable tool for individuals seeking to improve their wellness and professional development. Through personalized guidance and support, coaching can unlock potential, foster growth, and inspire positive change.
Coaching encourages self-reflection and self-awareness, allowing individuals to gain a deeper understanding of their values, beliefs, and behaviors. Emotional intelligence, a key component of effective leadership and interpersonal relationships can also be enhanced through coaching by learning how to recognize and manage emotions, understand the emotions of others, and build strong, empathetic connections. This can lead to better communication, improved conflict resolution and stronger relationships in both personal and professional worlds.
Life's challenges can be overwhelming, but professional coaching can help you to identify strategies to build resilience and manage stress effectively.
Whether you are an individual seeking clarity and guidance for yourself, or an organization or leader seeking clarity, guidance and support for your staff, coaching can be a very effective and helpful process.
As a coach, I recognize that you are the expert in your own life, whether at work or home, and you have the answers for whatever issue or theme is in front of you. My role is to help you find clarity to develop your own actions and surface your own answers. I approach coaching as with all things, with my head and heart well-connected. I offer no judgement and seek only to hold space for you by asking a lot of questions to help you reflect and find your way forward.
