About

Healthy Food

Hi, I'm Courtney, BSN, RN, NC-BC

​​Some people mistake me as a nutritionist, but that is simply because I know the power of food as medicine.

​As a nurse and health coach with over 20 years of experience in academic medical institutions, I’ve seen firsthand how the current healthcare system often overlooks the underlying causes of disease and dismisses symptoms as mere signs of aging. Too many women are told their struggles with energy, weight, and cravings are just "part of getting older," leaving them feeling unheard and unsupported. I’m here to change that narrative.  I'm here to shout from the rooftops, THERE IS A BETTER WAY TO LIVE!!!

After watching so many individuals become trapped in the cycle of fad diets and fleeting quick fixes, I knew there had to be a better way. That’s why I now focus on helping women leaders—who are exhausted, overwhelmed, and frustrated—find a path to lasting health and vitality both personally and professionally.​

Our health doesn't only impact how we look and feel.  It impacts every aspect of our lives.  Imagine feeling confident in your skin, full of energy and in control of your cravings.  How would this change the way you show up at home or at work?   What would you do today that you have been putting off for years?  What decisions would you make because you are feeling more confident about who you are?

​I believe the key to sustainable wellness lies within every individual.  Modern medicine doesn't believe in the power of the individual to change and heal, but I DO.  Many people second guess their ability to change there behavior, however I know that if I can hold belief for you for the first few weeks, then you will begin to believe in yourself once you start to see progress.  ​Through personalized coaching, your success is 100% my mission.  I help you reconnect with your body’s signals, empowering you to recover your confidence, trust your intuition, and work in harmony with your body to achieve your health and wellness goals.

You will become the Hero of your story.  You will find the potential that lies deep within the body system you inhabit.  The changes that we make together will be SUSTAINABLE.  This is the Functional Medicine Difference.  Functional Medicine believes in the healing potential of the human body.  It relies tremendously upon Food as Medicine.  Food is a simple yet powerful tool to either enhance or deteriorate health.
