Courtney D Townsend

Hello there! I'm Courtney, a big-time lover, a believer in the power of food, a soul stirrer, a good mama, a full belly giggler, and an eternal adventurer. I live to help souls discover their radiant value so they can live the fullest life ever. I am an Oakland, California girl born to Nebraskan parents. You'll find me quirkily positioned somewhere between high vibration, freedom for all, and love for the simple things that have the highest shine. In terms of my papers, I'm a graduate of Spelman College, Clark Atlanta University, Le Cordon Bleu Paris (cuisine & pastry) and of two natural labors (yes, that was hard work so I included it). Emotional flexibility, daily education, and phoenixing (rising and recreating oneself) are my life tenants. They have fueled me throughout my career as a Culinary Arts Professor and an entrepreneur. My creative and professional ventures include; a multi-course catering company, commercial acting, real estate restoration, curation of a cultural & education festivals and culinary stage production. I believe, no matter how varied your talents, all transformation is possible if you start from the place of "I love myself."
