About Cortney
Hi, I'm Cortney!
I help high-achieving women who look strong on the outside but feel overwhelmed, reactive, shut down, or stuck on the inside.
If you’ve done the therapy, read the books, listened to the podcasts, and still find yourself snapping faster than you want to, overthinking everything, struggling to rest, or feeling like your body is always bracing for something… you’re not broken. Your nervous system is carrying more than your mind has been able to resolve.
Because that was me, too.
When I first started my healing journey, I didn’t realize that my anxiety, insomnia, and constant overreacting weren’t just personality traits — they were the result of how unsafe my body felt.
I began to understand why I felt the way I did.
I could explain my patterns.
But in the moments that mattered most… my body would still take over.
And no one was talking about the body.
It wasn’t until I began working with my nervous system — not just my thoughts — that things started to shift.
I stopped living in a constant state of bracing.
I could actually rest without guilt.
I could respond instead of react.
I started to feel safe in my own life.
That’s why my work is different.
We don’t just talk about your patterns — we work with the place those patterns live: your body.
Through somatic healing, attachment repair, and parts work, I help women move out of survival mode and into a life that feels more grounded, connected, soft, and safe.
This work is especially for the woman who is tired of holding it all together.
The woman who wants to stop overreacting and then feeling ashamed.
The woman who wants to be present with her kids, feel safe in love, trust herself again, and finally understand why healing hasn’t clicked yet.
Because when your body no longer has to live like the threat is still happening… everything begins to change.
You are safe here.
When you feel safe, you will begin to heal.
Training & Education
Experiencing trauma alone is not enough to help other people navigate and heal from theirs. Rest assured, Cortney had extensive training in all of her approaches.
She is listed in the directory of Somatic Experiencing Practitioners (SEP) at traumahealing.org and she not only has her Somatic Experiencing Practitioner Certificate that requires an extensive 3 years of training, but is also a Somatic Experiencing Assistant to Trainings at the Institute.
Cortney is actively under the training and education of the Somatic Experiencing Institute at traumahealing.org. She also all has extensive training in other trauma informed modalities such as Somatic Attachment, Internal Family Systems and Polyvagal Theory.
Cortney is trained, educated, and credible in her approach… but what makes her even more credible, in our opinion, is that she has endured significant complex trauma and overcome it. So yes, she has lived experience of the pain, but more importantly the healing and training required to be well equipped to help you navigate yours safely and effectively. Her coaching practice has also been open since 2019 helping 100s of women (and men) to heal and have testimonies as evidence of that.
