Her global work for child rights and human security through culturally sensitive lenses while serving for 15yrs overseas with orphans, vulnerable children, severely impoverished, internally displaced persons, and foreign armed forces, has affirmed her belief and passion that healing must recognize the ‘whole’ person. Courtney uses a holistic approach across all domains that are created through collaboration and unique for each person, family, group, and community in need. She assists others by walking with them on their path of learning and healing. Courtney’s goal is to help people learn and understand how various traumas have impacted their lives; their heart, brain, body, mind, and soul, and how it has been vicariously carried forward impacting every moment of life. She aspires to help people gain self-leadership and choice over their path forward into healing and rehabilitation. Courtney sees the pain in people, but also recognises their possibilities. Courtney seeks to ignite the resiliency that is already living inside one each of us.
