About We Rock the Spectrum Bradenton
Allison Pounds
Franchise Owner | Psychology Graduate | Advocate for Neurodiverse Families
With over a decade of experience as a licensed cosmetologist and a strong foundation in psychology, I bring a unique blend of creativity, empathy, and leadership to every role I take on. Today, I am the proud owner of a We Rock the Spectrum franchise—an inclusive play space dedicated to supporting children of all abilities, especially those on the autism spectrum and with developmental differences.
My journey has always been people-centered, from enhancing confidence in the salon chair to empowering families through community engagement and support. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and have worked extensively with children on the spectrum, driven by both professional dedication and personal passion.
When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me outside exploring nature, learning something new, or spending quality time with my son, Aksel. I’m committed to building a more inclusive world—one family, one child, one connection at a time.
