​
Courtney grew up in the small town of Fairview in northern Alberta before heading to Calgary for university. She completed the nationally accredited Athletic Therapy Program at Mount Royal University and received her Bachelor's Degree in Kinesiology with Distinction from the University of Calgary. Courtney has been a Certified Athletic Therapist since June 2013. Courtney lived in Calgary until 2024, when she relocated to Leduc to be closer to family and start her home-based therapy business in Woodbend.
​
Courtney’s passion is for weaving her many therapeutic skills together in an effort to uncover the puzzle pieces of health, injury, illness and pain for each individual client.
Courtney’s core therapy belief is that no two people are the same and even when pains or injuries seem similar, they can have a multitude of different contributing factors. If we can discover those factors, or “puzzle pieces”, we can make changes and utilize tools and therapies that lead us towards improved health outcomes and less pain.
The core parts of her practice include:
-
CranioSacral Therapy & gentle fascial work
-
Athletic Therapy, injury assessment, manual treatments and rehabilitation
-
Myofascial release & joint mobilizations
-
Utilizing movement, mobility and exercise for injury care and wellness
-
Incorporating somatic facilitation and nervous system regulation
-
Usui Reiki woven with other energetic practices
Courtney has found immense benefit to incorporating CranioSacral Therapy and myofascial work with traditional injury rehabilitation and chronic pain care. She started her CranioSacral journey after finding that it helped her own struggles with post-concussion syndrome, neck pain and migraines. Since then, she has also become an Upledger Teaching Assistant for the techniques classes!
When asked what her specialties are, she would say:
-
Neck pain, headaches, migraines and post-concussion care
-
Fascial rebalancing, chronic tension and pain relief
-
Mid back, low back, SI joint and hip pain
-
Weaving energetics in with relaxing bodywork
Prior to starting CVB Wellness Services in 2020, Courtney worked in the health and fitness industry for 8 years. During her time at the gym, she also found her passion for powerlifting, at-home-yoga and teaching! Courtney became an integral part of the continuing education faculty within the gym scene, writing and teaching three courses for the personal training staff:
-
Movement Assessment
-
Intro to Special Populations and Medical Exercise
-
And a three-day intensive Post Rehabilitation course
Outside of work, Courtney loves walking, reading and learning. She enjoys both fiction and non-fiction books and learning as much as she possibly can with podcasts and audiobooks. Whether she takes professional courses, self-educates, or works with a mentor, expanding her knowledge and adding to her broad skillset is the ultimate goal. Weaving all of these teachings together is Courtney’s calling.
