Courtney is a Certified BodyTalk Practitioner (2020) with a Bachelor of Science in Cellular Biology (2020), and is currently studying Osteopathic Manual Therapy, with graduation anticipated in fall 2028.

Her work centres on one question: where has movement stopped?

Life is movement. We are constantly adapting, growing and reorganizing; physically, mentally, emotionally and energetically. When movement or growth becomes restricted, the rest of the person adapts around it. Sometimes that compensation is subtle. Sometimes it becomes a recurring pattern, a persistent symptom, or simply the sense that something is no longer moving the way it should.

Courtney’s work is to get curious about where the momentum changed: what stopped moving, how the rest of the system compensated, and what might help set things back into motion.

She works collaboratively with patients through conversation, intuition, energetic techniques and increasingly hands-on manual therapy. Sometimes the work happens through the body itself; sometimes through awareness, reflection or changes carried into everyday life. Often, it involves connecting pieces that appear completely unrelated until suddenly they aren’t.

That is the part Courtney loves most. She is a deep listener, not only to what someone says, but to what sits underneath it. She listens through conversation, intuition, her hands, and the patterns a person’s body and life have been revealing.

Her gift is often in hearing what has not yet been said, noticing what others may have missed, and reflecting those connections in a way that helps someone hear themselves and their body differently.

At its core, Courtney’s work is about helping people discover what’s hidden through deep listening so they can better understand themselves more clearly, release restriction, and rediscover the liberty to move, adapt and become.
