Alison Brahe burst on the Australian modelling scene as a 16-year-old in the mid-80’s and her career journey has travelled through roles in education, charities, podcasting and writing.
Her first book, QUEEN MENOPAUSE – a friendly, frank, compassionate and comprehensive companion for any woman experiencing menopause – was published in 2022 by Allen & Unwin. She also Co-hosts with her husband of 30 years on their hit podcast “Separate Bathrooms”. Interviewing some of the most interesting couples in Australia, they take a look behind the closed doors of their relationships. Separate Bathrooms has had over 100,000 downloads in 2021.
With her gorgeous smile and all-Australian beach body, she lit up the covers of Australia’s top fashion and pop magazines. Cleo, Dolly and Cosmopolitan, kept her face front and centre with fashion spreads and stories. It was rare that she was not on the cover every month of one of these publications, well into the 90’s. Cleo and Dolly readers often voted her as one their women of the century, such was the impact Alison was having.
Advertisers knew this and clambered to have Alison Brahe be their face – Portmans, Cover Girl makeup, Nivea, Blackmores, Brian Rochford and JaquieE were major clients.
Television soon followed with Channel Nine giving Alison her the daily afternoon children’s show GUESS WHAT, which enjoyed great success and she was a popular guest host of the iconic, HERE’S HUMPHREY which cemented a place in the hearts of many Australian families.
In 1991 Alison married Cameron Daddo and the pair emigrated to the USA.
Alison studied acting and was cast in, amongst other roles, in the pilot remake of Valley of the Dolls but teaching and caring for children was her true passion.
Following more study, Alison headed up classes at Bodyfulmind assisting parents with labour and post-partum support.
In 2013, she achieved her teaching degree from UCLA and began teaching at Under The Oaks, Malibu and continued studying and training in Rudolph Steiner Education at Highland Hall Waldorf School.
Alison has always been active in charity work from World Vision to the Gulu Walk and when returning from the USA, she became a patron of RizeUp Australia, a charity that assists families of domestic abuse settle in a new home.
Alison continues to write articles on parenting, relationships and the joys of being a woman. Her articles have been published in Kidspot, Powderoom Graffiti and Mamamia.
