"Extremely nice people. They will be use you to do your best but understand that beginners will not go as hard or fast as experienced students. They only push you to do the best you can an improve. Highly recommended for anyone to at least give it a shot to see if it’s for you. The head teacher is great with the kids to from what I saw."

"My son has been going for 3 years now and he loves it. They have classes for adults, youth and tiny tots starting at 3. I've watched so many kids learn and grow. If you've thought about trying it out for you or your kid(s) you get 3 free classes."

"I love this place! The owner, Eric, and his team are compassionate people who really care about their students' goals and successes. And he really knows his stuff! I was just floored by Eric's willingness to take the time to answer all of my questions and to help me figure out a training plan. You will love this place and the people! It doesn't matter whether you're a man or woman, you just walk out of there feeling empowered!"

Root-cause healing that restores the body through nervous system regulation, detox pathways, and metabolism. Not symptom-chasing. Not another bandaid.
Hi, I'm Dr. Kourtney
Three pillars of real,
lasting results
Energy & Fatigue Recovery
Nervous system and detox support that addresses why your body is stuck in survival mode — not just masking exhaustion with caffeine and supplements.
01
Metabolism & Weight Loss Resistance
If you're eating right and exercising but nothing moves, there's a deeper reason. We find it — and fix it — using functional labs and a personalized protocol.
02
Hormone Balance
Hormone issues are signals of something deeper — drainage, nervous system dysregulation, or metabolic burden. I help you address the root, not just the numbers.
03
MY APPROACH
Why clients get results when
nothing else worked
I combine 20+ years as a pharmacist with a root-cause, whole-body approach — bridging conventional medicine with the deeper healing most practitioners never address.
01
Regulate before you detox
Nervous system and drainage are the non-negotiable foundation. Skip this step and nothing else sticks.
02
Healing is low and slow
Real detox doesn't happen overnight. Sustainable results come from doing it right — at the pace your body can actually handle.
03
Symptoms are signals, not diagnoses
Hormone imbalances, weight gain, fatigue — your body is communicating. We listen, then address what they're pointing to.
"I get it, because I've been there — and I know exactly where conventional medicine stops and real healing begins."
● Pharmacist-level fluency in your labs, medications, and diagnostics
● Functional medicine lens that asks why , not just what
● Whole-body protocols — nervous system, detox, and metabolism together
● 1:1 consultations using the Root Cause Method, not cookie-cutter plans
● Internationally accredited certification teaching practitioners the same method
