About Me

My name is Courtney. I moved to Milwaukee in 2020 after 15 years in New York City (mostly Brooklyn). I teach yoga and meditation and am pursuing my doctorate in Chinese Medicine.

I grew up in New England which means I own a tri-cornered hat from watching Revolutionary War reenactments, and have been on multiple whale watches.

I was an actor from my teen years through my late twenties. I was cast as sprightly boys in Shakespeare plays, gals about to be murdered or accused of murder on television shows, and one time I even played a cow in an award-winning play.

I have also had careers working in copy writing (still do), at a chocolate factory, and as the mascot for a bank.

I am a concert-a-holic. I love to read, take moody long walks with my headphones, hike with my dad, laugh with my mom, bike and travel to cold countries with my husband, edit people’s writing, and have both deep and dumb conversations with my best pals.

Teaching yoga is the very best because I get to meet lots of people who soon become community. I cherish the feedback loop of teaching - I most certainly get back what I give. It is important to me to teach agency rather than obedience. And I love to see a student’s face light up when they do the thing they didn’t think they could do.
