Courtney has 20+ years working with clients in therapeutic and healing spaces, primarily in New York City, New England and Arizona, and is now based in San Antonio, Texas. She has two B.A.’s in Psychology and Communications from Purdue University and an M.A. in Archeo-Mythology (emphasis on Religion & Spirituality from female/embodied perspective).

Beginning around a decade ago, through the deaths of both her parents and close loved ones she came to realize that denying the inevitable and avoiding planning for it (facing it, discussing it) only makes the situation more stressful and painful for yourself and those around you. During this process a desire to shift taboos around the death conversation became more evident. A lifelong eco-consciousness has also served as an impetus to research less toxic burial practices and home funerals.

Serendipitously she found the Going With Grace program led by the incredible Alua Arthur and became certified as an end-of-life doula through her program in 2021.

She is part of the faculty at Abode: Contemplative Care For The Dying in San Antonio where she lectures on end of life planning and the history of memento mori art, and has been lead facilitator for their award winning doula program. She also serves as an end-of-life navigator at there in addition to her volunteer work. Abode is a non-profit home that provides 24-hr care during the last three months of life at no charge to the guest. She recently graduated from Abode’s Yogi Doula program in 2025 to integrate her life-long path with yoga & meditation into end of life practices.

She gives memento mori workshops on art history and reflections around mortality. She organized a large group exhibit featuring contemporary memento mori entitled “Memento-morium,” in 2024 that was funded by the City of San Antonio grant.

Her focus has been on creating end-of-life workbooks based on laws in individual states so that people know their rights and also have their affairs in order before they are sick or in a crisis. These workbooks are practical guides to everything you need to consider around end of life planning, as well as the spiritual and psychological dimensions of death. They can serve as a flexible guide to you and your loved ones so they may focus on being present and not embroiled in guess work or minutia.
