Approach

Courtney provides focused, evidence-informed acupuncture that support supporting people at any phase in their life. She has gained a lot of experience in muscular musculoskeletal, regulating the nervous system and hormone balance. Her treatments integrate acupuncture with cupping, moxibustion, and targeted lifestyle guidance to improve mobility, regulate the nervous system, and restore balance.

She works with both acute and chronic injuries, helping patients recover efficiently while building long-term resilience. Alongside this, she offers skilled support through fertility, pregnancy, labour preparation, and postpartum recovery.

Her approach is both precise and holistic—addressing the root cause while supporting immediate symptoms—and she works collaboratively with midwives, OBs, and other healthcare providers to ensure safe, coordinated care.

About

Courtney's clinical work is grounded in both Traditional Chinese Medicine and modern integrative care. Over the past two decades, her practice has evolved to reflect a dual focus: supporting active individuals through injury and recovery, and guiding women through key transitions including fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum.

She is known for creating a calm, supportive treatment environment while delivering results-driven care.


Why she became an Acupuncturist

Courtney was drawn to acupuncture through a deep interest in the body's ability to heal when supported in the right way. Early in her career,
she saw how effective this medicine could be for both physical pain and more complex, systemic conditions.

Her path became more focused after experiencing pregnancy and birth herself, which shaped her passion for supporting women through these
transformative stages with safe, integrative care.
