SOULCORE LEADER – COURTNEY

I am a licensed counselor, residing in Lake Charles, LA, where I am the owner of Saint Raphael’s Refuge Counseling Center. I am also employed with the Diocese of Lake Charles as a counselor on the Rachel’s Vineyard team. I have been married to my husband, Sterling for 5 years. My devotion to the Blessed Mother deepened after the loss of my mother and Sterling’s conversion to Catholicism. Because of my devotion to Mary and my strong desire to provide a lovely form of meditation to my clients, I fell in love with SoulCore. I can’t wait to share it with others.
