About Allison
Allison Boyle is a backpacking coach and the founder of She Dreams of Alpine, an outdoor adventure platform dedicated to helping women become confident, self-sufficient adventurers. Originally from Houston, Texas, with an engineering background, Allison discovered the transformative power of the outdoors after a post-divorce downward spiral in her early twenties — and it changed everything for her.
She now channels that experience into coaching women who want to stop waiting for someone to invite them on adventures and start leading those adventures themselves. Her signature Backpacking Badass Program is a comprehensive digital course covering everything from navigation to gear, while her Adventurous Reinvention Experience brings a small group of women together over four months for both inner transformation and an in-person backpacking expedition.
Allison's approach is rooted in the belief that the fears holding women back outdoors often mirror the fears holding them back in life. She's candid about her own struggles — the paralysis by analysis, the fear of the unknown — and uses that honesty to build trust with the women she works with. Her community has grown to over 700 program alumni.

What Clients Say
★★★★★
"My number one goal is to be self-sufficient and to be fully reliant on myself...which was the main reason I jumped all in on this course."
Melani
★★★★★
"I decided I wanted to do more and I was tired of watching everyone else have the adventures and being too scared to do them myself."
Heather
★★★★★
"It has been so great to learn everything in one place instead of figuring out what classes I needed to take and where, and I could do it in my spare time, and I have kids, and I have zero extra time. But I could do this class whenever I wanted."

"My real motivation to join the group was to learn more and learn how to do things by myself and not having to depend on anyone else and I achieved what I planned to do!"
Gleici
