Hi, I’m Courtney, a spiritual psychologist and guide through our inner life.
I founded Awakening Heart Awareness in 2008— a private practice dedicated to the deeper awareness that allows real change to emerge.
About Awakening Heart Awareness
For nearly twenty years, Awakening Heart Awareness has been dedicated to bringing the patterns shaping our circumstances, situations, relationships, finances, health, and careers into clear view through which change can naturally occur.
It’s an interdisciplinary approach that recognizes people aren’t fundamentally broken. The challenges individuals experience often arise from patterns of thought, emotion, and perception that have developed over time—not from any deficiency in the person themselves.
When these patterns are understood within awareness, they can begin to loosen and reorganize.Through this approach, we recognize it’s not about fixing or improving a person, but about recognizing the inherent wholeness already present and allowing clearer awareness to reveal new possibilities for living.
Over time, a greater sense of freedom, peace, and authentic expression begins to emerge—as a deeper intelligence within begins reorganizing our system.
Welcome.
Driven by transparency
Many thoughtful, capable people find Awakening Heart Awareness when they sense the patterns shaping and influencing their lives no longer reflect who they are.
They’ve often explored therapy, coaching, workshops, and books, yet feel something’s missing. In this work, change isn’t the result of a technique, force, or shift in mind-set, but the unfolding that occurs through the presence and awareness of two people engaged in sincere inquiry.
Gently going under the surface of what’s presenting as our circumstances, situations, communication styles, and experiences, we discover the deeper patterns influencing our feelings, thoughts, and futures.
From this place of shared attention, people often begin to discover new ways of relating to themselves, to others, to the life their living, their future, and their meaningful contribution.
Clients over the years have included New York Times bestselling authors, academics, scientists, creative artists, entrepreneurs, psychologists, healers, medical practitioners, parents, students, and more.
If you’re sensing something’s ready to shift in your life, I invite you to begin a conversation.
You can also continue exploring the website—and learn more about why patterns continue to repeat, the interdisciplinary approach of Awakening Heart Awareness, and the process that allows meaningful change.
The Patterns Shaping Our Lives
Why do patterns repeat themselves no matter how much we try to change them?
An Interdisciplinary Approach
Through a multi-disciplinary context we discover our whole, unified self. Discovering more of who we really are allows us to transform the patterns creating our circumstances and situations, and lift into something new.
8 Guiding Principles
People aren’t broken, patterns aren’t fixed, and no needs to improve. Why this approach can make all the difference.
If you’re sensing your patterns are no longer aligned with who you are, a consultation can help you determine if Awakening Heart Awareness is the right fit for you.
