What up!? I'm Courtney!



The truth I've come to know:
​
​Your body knows what is best for you and it's always been trying to tell you, to have this relationship with you, but you haven’t been taught to notice, listen or even ask. You’ve been told you are broken and flawed, only an educated professional can know what's best for you, so don’t ask questions, don’t explore - just go find an outside source (with credentials of course) and do what they say.

We haven’t been taught any other way.​ 

I'm here to help you find the support you need, starting from within yourself. My offerings include mindful movement, meditation and nutritional therapy. I also aid in bridge building between you and other healthcare providers. I support a round-table health model in which you invite practitioners around in the name of education and support for your healing journey. 

​

​



Typically, you can find me in comfy clothes, messy hair, sippin' water all day. I’m always laughing, dancing, and pondering life’s intricacies. I’ve been told my smile is contagious, that I give great hugs and I will challenge you to think differently about life, health and happiness.

I am all about self-care as self-compassion and getting to know yourself better so you can thrive at life! With a silly, down-to-earth, safe + accessible twist, of course.

​"Success," or a truly fulfilling life, comes from knowing yourself intimately. Slow down, shift your shit and start to form a real relationship with yourself. In this space magic happens, release occurs and true healing can unfold.

​This journey of 'getting to know yourself' is uncomfortable AF in today's fast paced world. I'm striving to create a safe space, so we can have the much needed hard conversations about who we are and how we show up in this world. ​

Ever since I was a little kid I made it my [unconscious] mission in life to find true happiness within myself, probably because I wasn't surrounded by any such thing. Through so many trials and tribulations, here I am, ready to help you learn:

No one has their shit together 100% of the time, not even Beyoncé, but find what works for you and no one can tear you down!

In the order they've been received

Associates (AOS) in Culinary Arts est. 2010

Where my passion for serving others came to light! I love cooking and educating on whole, nutrient dense, real food meals that are tasty AF! Most of my recipes are paleo and/or vegan and although I do not subscribe to either of these diets strictly, due to my own digestive issues, I am 100% gluten + dairy free.

​Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) est. 2012

Here, my deep curiosity for the human body and the way it functions truly began to unfold. My background is in functional movement and postural analysis through body weight training, olympic lifts, hard-style kettlebell movements, and barefoot running. I am a stickler for proper form for your unique body and injury prevention - partly because I have hyper-mobile joints that like to slip out of place and I've seen too many coaches force bodies into "proper form," also forcing injury.
Certified 200-hr Yoga Instructor (YT) est. 2015

​My yoga teacher training (YTT) came semi-unplanned at the end of 9-month excursion through Mexico and Central America. I was immersed in a nature reserve sanctuary in the jungle of Costa Rica for three straight weeks, exposed to a very open minded way of looking at life. Yoga has become an inseparable life practice for me and my goal as an instructor is to guide you out of your thoughts and back to your breath, so you may experience the calm that resides within all of us, and finally start feeling comfortable in your body. *September 2019 I attended a 20-hour trauma sensitive yoga training with the intent to be a more informed practitioner for those ready to heal.
​
​Certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) ​est. 2017

An NTP is a Functional Nutritionist. This is where I learned that we are each bio-individual creatures with no one-size-fits-all mold to fit for wellness. Light was cast upon my own self-destruction loops and I was given the tools to get out of them, once and for all. As an NTP I work with you to understand and communicate with your body's innate intelligence in order to determine nutritional deficiencies and get you back to functioning at full capacity, as nature intended. We'll discuss mindful eating habits and proper digestion while honoring self-compassion and support for stress cycles.
