Renowned for its inspiring and empowering health writing, Insights Care magazine is delighted to welcome Alison L. Theiss, Founder of The Passion Zone, one of the most prominent sexual health voices who advocate solutions that are targeted for people at all stages in life and experiences in life and who do so also with empathy for underrepresented or under-served groups—namely, women who experience life transitions such as menopause and postpartum. With sexual health information becoming more accessible, Alison has been at the forefront of providing women with a platform for reclaiming their desire and changing the manner in which they treat themselves and their partners. Founded on an empowerment model, The Passion Zone seeks to dispel myths of intimacy and aging, pointing out that sexual health is integral to overall health. With customized, integrated wellness programming, Theiss blends sexology principles with functional health practices to develop solutions based on whole well-being.
With The Passion Zone’s special combination of services, women are able to reconnect with themselves and regain the pleasure and contentment of intimacy.
Theiss’s entry into sexology is as motivating as it is redeeming.
A working Sexologist, Theiss grew up in rural Ohio by a traditional Catholic family where sex was rarely discussed frankly or with cultural permissions; Theiss traveled the long route to her calling. She started life as a spiritual life coach in Amish country, working with women who, like her, struggled with intimacy because of cultural barriers. Over time, Theiss came to understand that what she enjoyed most was assisting women in discovering their own sexuality, particularly in periods of their life that are typically characterized by unusual challenges and hardships. Currently a Ph.D. candidate in Mind-Body Medicine, she is dedicated to continuing her education and continuing to enhance the care that she provides in her practice, with the long-term goal of having a long-term positive influence on the sexual health of women.
