Meet Courtney
I’m a social worker, parent coach, and certified yoga instructor with over 15 years of experience supporting individuals, families, and communities through real-life challenges.
My work is rooted in one core belief:
growth doesn’t happen through pressure—it happens through awareness, structure, and intentional change.
Over the years, I’ve worked with individuals navigating behavioral challenges, emotional regulation, family conflict, and life transitions. Through that experience, I recognized that many people don’t lack desire to change—they lack the tools, structure, and support to do it consistently.
That realization led me to create The Art of Ascending.
What I Do
Through The Art of Ascending, I provide coaching, yoga, and structured programs that help individuals move from reactive patterns to intentional ways of living.
​
My work focuses on:
-
Emotional regulation
-
Self-respect and accountability
-
Communication and connection
-
Personal and family growth
​
Whether I’m working with a parent, a young person, or a professional team, the goal is the same:
to help people become more aware, more grounded, and more aligned in how they show up in their lives.
The Ascension Method
At the center of my work is The Ascension Method, a practical framework designed to support lasting change.
​
This method is built on the BCARE principles:
-
Boundaries
-
Connection
-
Awareness
-
Respect
-
Emotional Regulation
-
​
These are not just concepts—they are tools that can be applied in everyday situations at home, at work, and in relationships.
The Ascension Method is used in coaching, parent programs, and professional development settings to create structure, clarity, and measurable growth.
Who I Serve
I work with:
-
Parents who want to move from reactive parenting to intentional leadership
-
Individuals seeking clarity, structure, and personal growth
-
Professionals and organizations looking to strengthen communication and emotional awareness
-
Youth and families in need of practical, real-life tools
My Approach
My approach is direct, supportive, and grounded in real-life application.
This is not about perfection or surface-level change.
It’s about doing the work to understand yourself, shift your patterns, and make choices that align with who you are becoming.
​
I create spaces where people can:
​
-
be honest
-
be challenged
-
and be supported through growth
