Hello friend, welcome!

my story

“Every meaningful journey begins with a question.”

— Dr. Zach Bush

What would happen if instead of asking “what's normal?” we asked “what's true?”

I asked myself this question when I was 19 & it prompted me to drop out of college, ditch the societal blueprint, embrace my entrepreneurial nature and explore what it really meant to live.

I've never had a desire to chase money, status or be “impressive”. I've had a deep desire to be free. To live a soulful, aligned, meaningful, creative life. To disrupt the norm and live life on my terms.

i’m endlessly curious

I've spent 20+ years studying: movement, energy, nutrition, bodywork, wellness, yoga, patterns, the art of relationships, the power of our mind, spirituality, entrepreneurship, the stars, creativity, happiness, living fully.

Not because I wanted to become an expert, because I'm endlessly curious & have a relentless desire to learn and grow.

i believe:

health is our greatest wealth

i create beauty as a way of loving people

I'm a multi-passionate solopreneur with many titles: yoga teacher, massage & bodywork therapist, Airbnb Superhost, international retreat leader, lifestyle design coach, podcast host, Human Design reader, health & wellness coach, writer & dancer to name a few.

But if I strip back all the titles, at my core, I'm a:

seeker. creator. artist. writer.

i love...

sunshine, deep conversations, books, slow mornings, handwritten letters, courageous honesty, lifting heavy weights, spacious days, cooking, living by the ocean, dancing, morning pages, praise music.

freedom + creativity + curiosity + joy

Freedom is my mission.
Curiosity is my compass.
Creativity is my method.
Joy is my fuel.

“The truth will set you free,

but first it will piss you off.”

— Joe Klaas

These days my work looks like:

• writing on Substack: Diary of a Disruptor

• leading Sun Drenched Freedom Private Retreats in Charleston, SC

• working with professional athletes

• airbnb Superhost

expansion + aliveness

My goal with everything I create is to expand you, spark joy, ask questions, fuel your curiosity, share BTS of my life & empower you to live your happiest, healthiest, most FREE life.

“Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”

— Howard Thurman

join the disruption

you landed here on purpose

There are no coincidences.

If you're anything like me: endlessly curious, spiritually hungry, labeled "too much", not a fan of following societal rules or being put in a box... I think you'll like it here.

Let's be disruptive co-creators & stay connected.

 “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."
