A brief story from Courtney about her life:
I have not always been so joy-filled and optimistic. My early years of life were mostly in the suburbs of Seattle, moving around with a mother that struggled to be stable in mind, body and spirit. By age seven, my dad's parents took custody of me and I transitioned my life north, to a small farm town called Skagit Valley, where I currently reside.
Between unstable parents trying their best (and coming up short) and being raised as an only child by my grandparents (three times my own generation), I faced a lot of unique circumstances and quarrels in my upbringing. I recall always sensing the world as a set up for depression and a slippery slope toward psychological warfare, often feeling alone and misunderstood.
Questions began to plague me from a young age, like:
Is it possible to actually know and trust yourself?
Is it even possible to be truly happy in life?
And if so, what does that even mean...and how do I get there?
I had no conceivable notion of the path such questions would take me on.
I've been led to see how living a fulfilled and meaningful existence comes through learning how to support yourself, embracing your fears and facing discomfort. That it is possible to transmute your pain, trauma and grief - but more importantly - life is not about always being happy or feeling good. Learning how to navigate these normal and expected terrains of life, unleashes your inherent resilient nature. As a human being, you are designed for this. I'm here to help you tap in and navigate your life from a more grounded place. This results in less stress and more stability, connection and joy.
