Our Story
At Plumb Line University, we have identified and discovered NEW teaching methods that are neuroplasticity-based. I know, I know, that sounds like a really big word (Thats why we use it, because it makes us sound really smart.) but in reality these teaching techniques are so simple its hard to believe no one has thought of it until now. In the past, unless you were a personal client, you couldn't learn these techniques. Now it can be taught to the masses via Webinars or on-line lessons, and thats our mission.
Plumb Line University's Step 1-3 approach for teaching proper mechanics for ALL human movement is a game changer for the Health, Wellness, Fitness and Sports industry.

“I’ve felt like we had been doing a disservice in golf instruction for years now, and the proof was overall handicaps haven’t improved for the last 80 years. It was time to take a hard look at how we instruct up-and-coming golfers.” “I am so excited to be part of Plumb Line University, working as the CEO and mentoring under Alison’s tutelage. Whether young or old, more athletes are going to find the gains they’ve been dreaming about for years. This is the secret sauce that few are born with, while others spend countless years in search of. For most, it’s has been elusive. But it is apparent that and Alison has cracked the code.”
