Little about me
Hi there! I'm Kourtney, your go-to gal for all things self-development. I'm on a mission to empower women to become the best versions of themselves—mind, body, and soul.
My journey into self-development began over a decade ago, at 22, with a program that completely transformed my understanding of myself and my life's trajectory. It was an awakening, peeling back layers of my upbringing and experiences that shaped me, which led me down an unexpected path.
Initially, I was set on a career in law enforcement, eager to serve and protect. Yet, a pivotal moment redirected me towards a different kind of service that wasn't confined by a badge. This redirection wasn't just a career change but a life change, which allowed me to explore the profound depths of coaching and healing.
As I delved deeper, I gathered certifications and skills, all with the mission to facilitate profound connections between individuals and their inner selves. This journey was not just about aiding others...it was also about confronting and mending generational traumas—starting with my own. Each day is a step towards healing, and with every step, my awareness expands.
In my practice, I approach trauma with care and understanding, fostering a safe space for healing without fear. It's about embracing our entire being—flaws, shame, and all—and transforming pain into power.
I'm driven by the profound transformations that coaching and healing can inspire. My personal evolution from a past filled with traumas and self-imposed limitations to a place of empowerment is the foundation of my practice. I've lived the journey I now guide others through. Each morning, I wake up motivated by the possibility of igniting that same transformative spark in the women I work with.
In my personal life, I'm just as dynamic and passionate as I am in my professional world. You'll often find me immersed in activities with family and friends or diving into lively discussions about self-development. This isn't just my profession - it's a lifelong passion that continually drives me to learn and grow.
I call Newport Beach, California, my home, sharing my life with my amazing man Jake and our four delightful cats. Becoming a cat mom to not one but three fur babies was unexpected but has been an absolute joy... fellow cat lovers unite!
Jake and I have a shared love for exploration and coffee. Our adventures often involve discovering new coffee shops and rating our experiences. Who knows, this quirky hobby might even turn into a coffee table book someday! 😉

My role is that of a compassionate guide, offering my hand to hold as you embark on the courageous work of self-discovery and healing. My passion lies in facilitating a deep and authentic connection within—whether through the grounding practice of breathwork, the soulful touch of reiki, or the transformative power of subconscious work.
I infuse my coaching with a unique blend of somatic and mindset techniques tailored to reveal your fullest potential. My approach is a tapestry woven from various transformative practices:

Feminine & Masculine Energy Balancing - to harmonize the dual aspects within you and enhance your relationships
Meditation - for a serene mind-body alignment
Shadow Work - to bravely face and integrate all parts of yourself

It's about striking the perfect balance - making sure you feel safe and supported yet continuously motivated to grow and evolve. In my coaching, I create a space where you can safely confront your limitations and courageously step into your power.

Breathwork Sessions & Workshops
The Somatic Breath Activation technique is a controlled sympathetic nervous system activation coupled with vagus nerve stimulation. When we are in a safe, loving space when we activate our sympathetic nervous system, we experience long-term improvements in wellbeing, inner trust and resilience, as well as a decrease in overall anxiety and stress. These sessions allow us to subconsciously and consciously release old stories and conditioning, allowing us to let go of what doesn’t truly align with our highest self and purpose.
Energy can sometimes get stuck in the body when we have to contract to survive. The SBA invites us into the body (somatic) to process old energy, whether or not there is a conscious experience.
The possibilities for every session are directed by your own intention.
During an SBA session, the body opens its channels to move energy throughout the body and to open yourself to divine wisdom from external and internal sources. You're invited to drop out of your head and allow your somatic vessel to move energy and wisdom organicly through the body.
Each session you receive exactly what you need, and it may not be what you expect.
The feels? Tapping into emotions, release, breakthroughs, revelation, exploration, inner wisdom, ancestral access, divine guidance, spirit guide visits, opening to the unknown.
In-person & Virtual Distance Reiki
Okay, spill the beans—what's the deal with Reiki?" That's a question that comes my way a lot as a Reiki Practitioner, and trust me, I get it. Before my first session, I was in the same boat. So, let's dive into Reiki—no fancy history lessons, just the good vibes and healing stuff.
So, What's Reiki All About?
Reiki, aka "Universal Life Force Energy," isn't some complex theory. It's all about healing, and it's like a warm hug for your soul. Imagine this energy flowing through a practitioner—me, for example—straight into you. It's not just about fixing physical stuff; it's a whole experience that brings balance, lifts your spirits, and triggers your body's natural healing magic.
How Does the Healing Energy Work?
Think of yourself as an energetic being, not confined to the boundaries of your physical body but radiating a distinct energy field, an aura extending into the space around you. This energy, like a constant flow, can sometimes be disrupted—blocked or out of sync—leading to a sense of imbalance. That's where Reiki steps in as a supportive guide. Imagine it as a skilled navigator, gently realigning and restoring your energy to its innate, harmonious state. Reiki serves as a comforting force that brings you back to the authentic rhythm of your being, like a serene return to your natural state of joy and balance.
What's Reiki Good For?
Reiki is a versatile support system, addressing stress, emotional challenges, anxiety, and more. It guides personal growth, fosters mental clarity, and offers inner peace. Whether you're navigating physical symptoms, trauma, or seeking comfort during pregnancy, Reiki is a reliable ally. It boosts energy, motivation, and purpose, aligning you with your authentic self. Ready for a transformative experience? Reiki's high vibrational chakra alignment invites ease into living and manifestation. In essence, Reiki is your holistic pathway to well-being.
So, What Goes Down in a Reiki Session?
Let's set the scene for a Reiki session: Imagine yourself in a state of pure relaxation, eyes closed, sinking into a cozy space. I'm right there, hands gently hovering or lightly touching various parts of your body, ushering in that gentle wave of healing energy. It's more than just a physical touch; it's a complete exchange of energy. And here's the magic—whether we're in the same room or miles apart, Reiki bridges the gap effortlessly. It's that versatile and that powerful.
What Happens During a Session?
Every session is like a journey. You might laugh, cry, or feel a whole range of emotions. Your body might tingle with warmth or cool down. You could see colors, feel waves of relaxation, or just zone out into a nap. It's your time, and whatever you feel is totally cool.
What to Expect After a Session?
After a session, you might feel extra tuned in, sensitive to your surroundings. Maybe a bit tired, maybe bursting with energy—it's different for everyone. Emotionally, you could be riding high on happiness and peace. Just take it easy on yourself, hydrate, and maybe treat yourself to something yummy.
So, Reiki? It's not a mystery; it's a vibe, a feeling, and a journey to healing that's all about you.

Somatic Coaching
Somatic comes from the Greek word “soma” which means “body” and describes coaching or other modalities that focus on the human being as an intelligent whole and not purely the mind. When we work somatically, we are accessing the data in ALL parts of our human system and also able to elicit change via ALL parts of our system.
Energy Healing
Energy Healing is a gentle yet potent therapy that taps into your body's energy flow, aiming to restore balance and well-being.

Through various techniques, practitioners encourage the natural healing abilities of your body, fostering a renewed sense of vitality and harmony.

Group teaching at a retreat brings women together to learn, share, and connect. It's a space where women can openly exchange their knowledge and experiences, fostering a sense of community and empowerment.

What Clients Have Say
From Lisa
As someone who came in a little skeptical to what Breathwork even was I was surprised by the depth of my experience. Kourtney was calm and reassuring and made the space feel safe and relaxing. I joked that I must have been transported to another dimension because it almost felt like an out of body experience.
From Bri
I am lighter and notice my emotions aren’t getting in the way of my everyday life like it was before the session. Little things aren’t bothersome as much. I’m finding joy in more things and that’s just a few experiences. Releasing the emotions I had bottled up inside has really helped me be more authentically me!
-Bri
From Kaila
Under the expert guidance of Kourtney, I was able to dive deep into my inner child and inner teenager, unlocking a treasure trove of memories and emotions that had been stored within me. Through these profound flashbacks, I was able to release old traumas and find a renewed sense of healing and liberation.
