Courtney’s passion for helping others shines through in her diverse healthcare expertise. After earning a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from Dalhousie University in 2017, along with certificates in Disability Management and inter-professional health education, she became deeply involved in the YMCA’s Abilities in Motion program. There, she supported individuals with prescribed physiotherapy and exercise, which fueled her dedication to working with seniors and those with disabilities for over five years as a personal support worker.

Driven to expand her skill set, Courtney went on to graduate with honors in Acupuncture from Georgian College in 2019. She’s committed to treating her patients holistically, with a focus on nervous system support, and emphasizes the vital connection between mental and physical health.
