hello, I'm Courtney.

I write stories and hope you find yourself in them.

​​

I'm a writer, storyteller, somatic practitioner, textbook marketer, and professor that's passionate about creating inclusive spaces and bringing you into the here and now. Through stories, connecting with nature, tuning into your body, and supportive community, I aim to help you feel more alive and awe-struck by your one precious life. Let's find magic in the mundane, together. 

​​

My obsession with the written word has been a guiding light throughout my life. 

I write mainly creative nonfiction essays and memoir to channel my passion for sharing stories, connecting the personal with the universal, and framing experiences in ways that shed light on the human condition.

I have found the accountability of a writing group to be instrumental in my growth and progress as a writer. I am grateful for the women in the Quill & Cup community. If you're looking for a group of supportive writers, consider joining us! To chat more about this, please contact me.
