More than just a coach.
I'm Dr. Alison Harris Welcher.
I'm a life and leadership coach, educator, non-profit executive, wife, and mom of two helping high-achieving Black and Brown women thrive in womanhood, motherhood, and career without the burnout. I created THRIVE Life Coaching because I know what it's like to have all the credentials and still feel like you're barely holding it together. If you're here, you're in the right place.
"Working with Alison was truly transformative. She asked me hard questions that pushed me to reflect more deeply on my choices, values, and direction."
– Leah R., Project Manager
"The space she created was safe, supportive, and free of judgment; exactly what I needed to gain clarity and momentum."
– Melanie W., Executive Assistant
"Dr. Harris Welcher recognizes that people are whole, not compartmentalized. I've felt empowered by her active listening and thoughtful responses."
– Sonya C., Management Consultant
You've got the ambition, the drive, and the dreams.
You're excelling at work and showing up for everyone around you.
What you don't have? Time to take care of yourself. Space to breathe. A moment to figure out who you are beyond "mom," "employee," and "the one who holds everything together."
That’s where I come in.
I'm the kind of coach who sees the invisible load you're carrying, and helps you untangle it. I don't offer generic advice or one-size-fits-all solutions. I meet you exactly where you are and help you create a life that actually fits who you're becoming.
I believe you can thrive without burning out.
You don't have to sacrifice yourself to be successful. You don't have to push through exhaustion to prove your worth. And you definitely don't have to figure it all out alone.
I started THRIVE to help women like us stop surviving and start actually living—with clarity, purpose, and joy. Your dreams deserve to be pursued. Your well-being deserves to be protected. And you deserve support that was built for your lived experience.
