COURTNEY FLETCHER
FOUNDER, LEAD FACILITATOR
E-RYT 500, YACEP, REIKI MASTER
Hi, I’m Courtney, an ex-gymnast, spinally fused, 18-year yogi, Ashtangi, trained in India, whose practice draws from hatha, kundalini and vinyasa. My heart-centered approach evokes an understanding of interconnectedness through a focus on self-love, nature and seva (service). The intention being for my students to discover the light within that ignites their path to inner peace, the connection which opens the heart to universal love.
After 10 years as a competitive gymnast, lower back surgery brought my athletic ability to a halt. Looking for a way to ease the pain and regain strength and flexibility, I discovered yoga and immediately fell in love with the practice, quickly learning its transformational power over the mind and path to freedom. Embarking on this journey meant a lifelong quest for self-knowledge, love, and humility. In 2010 I volunteered in India and earned my yoga teaching certification. My time in India inspired me to establish my own NGO, Kids’ Foundation for Uniting Nations which connects and inspires kids around the world to initiate positive change through service.

As a healer, he continues to educate himself in effective disciplines to ensure his patients receive the highest quality of care. By utilizing his vast knowledge and techniques, he designs a specific protocol for each individual patient’s needs to help them reach their optimum physical and mental well-being.
Dr. Kais embraces more of a Holistic style of chiropractic and bodywork, focusing on correcting the cause of dis-ease rather than treating symptoms alone. He offers gentle, low force adjusting techniques as well as traditional adjustments, therapeutic bodywork and Thai Yoga massage.
