You're new-ish to private practice. Maybe a year or two in. Maybe less.

You've got a Squarespace site you built one weekend, or a Wix template, or a placeholder page that says "coming soon" and has said that for eight months.

You know it's not great. You also know you can't drop $9K on a full brand strategy intensive right now.

Not because you don't believe in the work. Because you don't have the answers or data yet.

You're still figuring out which clients you actually want.
Which sessions feel right.
Which corner of the field you fit into.
You haven't been in business long enough to know, and that's okay!

So every quote you see for branding and websites feels like it's asking you to commit to a version of your practice you haven't grown into yet.

Strategy work needs data.

Who's actually inquiring. Who's actually booking.

Which conversations make you light up and which ones drain you.

What people are actually paying for.
What your niche is, not what you thought it was.

You don't have that yet. And no amount of brand discovery work can manufacture it.

So a $9K strategy intensive in year one is expensive guessing.

The strategy gets built on assumptions instead of evidence, and a year from now, you're updating it anyway.

What you actually need

A professional FOUNDATION that looks good now, runs clean, and gets out of your way while you collect the real-world data that will eventually be worth strategizing around.

That's what the Starter Package is

What you're getting

A custom typography logo, a brand essentials kit (colors, fonts, basic guidelines), and a 4-5 page custom WordPress site that doesn't look like every other DIY template on the internet.

It's the professional foundation.

Not the five-year plan.
Not the strategy intensive.
Not "Signature lite."

This is a different service for a different season.


You'll know you've outgrown it when you start having opinions about who you don't want to work with, what kind of sessions you don't want to take, and what your site isn't quite saying.

That's the data signal. That's when Signature makes sense.

For now: a site you'll actually send people to.

client story

"What surprised me most is that working with her felt like having both a business coach AND a website designer."

She asked smart questions, clarified messaging, improved my funnel flow, and her copywriting is incredible.
Courtney is AMAZING to work with! She went above and beyond my expectations in every way. For years, I tried to DIY my website — and it definitely looked like it.

Courtney swept in like a tech angel and completely transformed my site and brand into something that finally matches the level of business I’m building.

She is obsessed (in the best way) with keeping site speed excellent, which is critical for a website like mine that gets thousands of visitors and runs ads for passive revenue.
 
She didn’t just redesign things to look pretty — she structured it for growth, SEO, speed, and long-term scalability.


I finally feel like my brand has a home that reflects the impact I want to make.

I couldn’t recommend Courtney more highly — if you want someone who truly cares about your business and brings both creativity and strategy, she’s your person.

DIETITIAN TURNED DESIGNER

Hi, I’m Courtney

As a weight-inclusive dietitian-turned-designer, I know firsthand how crucial it is to have a website that truly reflects you and your values.

After navigating my own business journey, I discovered my passion for helping others create impactful websites and brands. What started as helping friends quickly became my calling.

Now, I combine my design skills with my dietitian background to help weight-inclusive businesses like yours shine online—with stunning designs, powerful branding, and copy that attracts your dream clients.

Wondering if this what you need?

This is perfect for you if...

  • You understand strategy work needs business data you haven't collected yet
  • You're newer to private practice and still discovering your exact niche
  • You know you need something but your direction might still evolve
  • You understand this is your professional starting point, not your forever brand
  • You're ready to invest in looking legit while you figure things out

This isn't right if...

  • You've been in business 3+ years and you can name exactly who your ideal client is (you're ready for Signature)
  • You want a 50+ page strategy guide and an 8-10 page site (also Signature)
  • You want the absolute cheapest option available
  • You expect this to solve strategic positioning challenges
  • You promote intentional weight loss and do not practice from a weight-inclusive lens

Frequently Asked Questions

I work with weight-inclusive business owners. This could be anything from dietitians like myself, therapists, coaches, trainers, massage therapists, or other service providers like interior designers!

Freaking out about feedback? Don't. My revision system makes it ridiculously easy to point and click exactly what you want changed - no awkward emails trying to explain 'that thing in the upper right corner that's kind of bluish.'

I think the real question is, do you have time to do it yourself and time to potentially lose more ideal clients? I make this process as seamless and painless as possible! Once you do the pre-work, I handle the rest of the heavy lifting and you’re good to go.

Short answer: YES

Long answer: We have our 1-hour call on the first Monday of the timeline. In the second week, you really need to set aside a lot of time each day to review the revisions I have done so that you are 100% satisfied with the website by the second Thursday. I’m fast, but if I don’t have anything to revise… then it makes things seem rushed. Then on Friday you have your launch call!

You will have 2 options:

1) Complete my copywriting questionnaires for me to use as the copy on your site.

2) Add on copywriting services and let me handle it all for you!

Yes! Our typically payment setup is 50% deposit to save your spot, then 50% before your project start date.

For payment plans:

Starter Project - 4 monthly payments

Signature Project - 6 monthly payments

Local SEO Intensive - 3 monthly payments

Yes! I can help you get your website set up properly with SEO best practices. However, it really is up to your ongoing work with your website to help it rank higher on Google. This includes a strategy with blogging, quality backlinks, keeping your site up to date, and more. Otherwise, it’s just a fancy digital brochure! Sign up for our monthly SEO services if you are serious about ranking higher.

My main focus is WordPress and Squarespace.

When I build with WordPress, and my builder of choice is Breakdance, Bricks, or the default builder - Gutenberg - depending on your site's needs.

If you use another builder like Elementor, Divi or if you're on Wix, Squarespace, or Showit, please submit an inquiry because I do have experience with those.

I typically do not recommend Wix if you have any plans to blog or grow your site in the future.

I get it!

The first step is to review all of the information on my website - you'll find most of your answers here.

Next, you can schedule your free inquiry call and I'll discuss your options and send you a detailed proposal.

 

Still have questions? Let's schedule a Strategy Consultation!

 

A gentle note about my communication boundaries:

I'm more than happy to address any questions you have, but I also want to ensure fairness to my current clients by managing my time effectively. And to keep things efficient and respect everyone's time, I won't be able to engage in lengthy email back-and-forths or revisit topics already discussed or explained in a proposal. This is why I provide so much information on my website, in my inquiry calls and proposals, and Strategy Consults. 

Get a professional foundation that grows with your practice.

Not sure if this is the right fit?

No worries!

Submit an inquiry and you'll have options including booking a no-pressure chat where we'll talk it through together.
