Who exactly is this woman? That would be me, Allison Stuart Kaplan. I am the founder of Askinyourface.com. My intention for the website is to expand the network I have helped to create amongst my clients, students, and friends. My goal for this website is to further promote a forum where ALL women have the opportunity to be informed and be inspired about their total health and ultimately become more empowered!

Every woman has a story, myself included. At times, I had a very difficult childhood. I struggled with an eating disorder, I dealt with a crippling and painful autoimmune disease, I survived my fathers’ suicide and my first husband’s indiscretions shortly thereafter, while also caring for my two young children. But, in spite of all this trauma, my life is beautiful.

For over twenty five years I have professionally worked in the health and fitness industry in the Detroit Metropolitan area. Traditionally, I would be considered a “personal trainer/group fitness instructor,” and while I am definitely both, I have evolved into my own unique brand of a life coach. I love my work. I am honored to work with so many different types of amazing women. I am passionate about helping women be strong and stay strong. I believe that when women strengthen their bodies they automatically strengthen their minds and their spirit. They are able to stand tall and look straight ahead into their future, a healthier future. I have always said, “ask me, and I will find you the answer.” Here it is, the Bitch Alley! Ask us anything… (but as my beloved father said, or was it my mother, “if you are not prepared to hear the answer…don’t ask the question)”. So, click on the Bitch Alley blog and ask away!!!
