Hello friend, welcome!
I’m so honored you landed here
Hi, I’m Cortney!
I was born a distruptor. I’ve never been interested in living a “normal” life or following the traditional path.
At 19, I made the bold decision to leave college & follow my intuition - which led me across the country to sunny California.
I didn’t have a plan, but I had a vision & I trusted it. I knew I was made for more & I was determined to live life on my own terms even if I couldn’t see the whole path yet.
That was a big turning point in my life. I took a giant leap of faith & it worked out better than I could have imagined.
Everything I am & everything I’ve created in my career - started with that leap of faith.
One thing I know to be true is that God doesn’t respond to our plans - He responds to our faith.
We might not see a clear path ahead - but we must have the faith & courage to take one aligned step at a time - trusting in a divine plan & timeline greater than our own understanding.
California expanded me. I discovered bodywork, immersed myself in health & wellness, surrounded myself with fascinating people & found my path in life.
From there, I continued to have faith that I have specific gifts, joys, dreams & interests for a reason…so I followed them.
It led me to:
+ Massage therapy school
+ Traveling to Bali to study yoga
+ Becoming a lifestyle design + wellness coach
+ Working & apprenticing with the most amazing mentors, teachers & coaches around the world
+ & so much more
I didn’t get a 4 year degree - I got some-thing better: Freedom. An abundant & aligned life & career. A life that I love. A life that allows me to be a forever student.
There have been many evolutions in my life & career as a multi-passionate solopreneur - but this one is my absolute favorite. It encompasses the duality of my brand & personality.
There’s a part of me that’s a high-performing force of nature. She’s logical, strategic & building an empire. She wants to do.
AND there’s a softer side of me. She’s a playful visionary, a creative, always trusting the vibes & following her heart. She just wants to be.
I’m a Gemini after all & duality is our thing.
And that’s what this new evolution of my work & my brand is rooted in. The dance between:
sthira + sukha
structure + flow
doing + being
physical + energetic
mind + heart
discipline + play
strong body + soft life
That’s the magic.
You landed here on purpose.
There are no coincidences.
If you’re digging the strong body + soft life vibes & philosophy - let’s stay connected. feel free to email me at:

“Everybody should have a mentor. Yoga mentor, life mentor, whatever it is in particular for you. We don’t have to do life alone, let others guide you & lift you. I chose Cortney as my mentor because she has things I want….dedication, ambition, peaceful yet playful energy, & healthy, honest lifestyle. Find someone who has something you want in life & learn from them. It’s contagious."
