Meet Courtney Brisson, Founder of Sol Sown Wellness—
Courtney is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Reiki Practitioner and Yoga Instructor whose Life’s work is rooted in over a decade of passionately exploring the connections between mind, body, and spirit. Her journey began in 2009 with an awakening to energy work through Reconnective Healing, which ultimately led her to explore Nichiren Buddhism, breath work, meditation and more. This sparked a deep commitment to honoring her own autonomy, believing that well-being is our own responsibility to achieve and maintain and that our bodies are sacred vessels offering wisdom we can access by listening inward.
Initially studying Psychology in college, in 2013 Courtney left the four walls behind, choosing the World as her classroom instead. From trekking & exploring the Great Out West, backpacking Southeast Asia and living in Australia, she immersed herself in Wellness via yoga, living on farms, tending animals, collaborating on art and community projects and pushing herself beyond what she’d known. Her travels took her to Ecuador, where she began living and working in Retreat Centers, and later to India, where she lived and studied in Shakti Ashram, deepening her yoga practice, becoming a Reiki practitioner, and earning certification in Therapeutic Massage. Called back to the States in 2020, she embarked on a coast to coast motorcycle journey, connecting, studying and living with intentional communities along the way. From there she returned to Ecuador to pursue advanced yoga training, achieving 300-hour YTT certification and ultimately made her home in Skagway, Alaska. Her path has since culminated in Costa Rica, where she completed a 700-hour massage therapy program, becoming a licensed therapist skilled in therapeutic massage, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, craniosacral work, Thai, and Shiatsu.
From these rich, global experiences, Courtney founded Sol Sown Wellness, a client-centered practice dedicated to nurturing mind-body connection and inner wisdom through therapeutic touch, Reiki, and yoga-inspired guidance. Her approach empowers individuals to take charge of their healing journeys, honoring their autonomy and the unique messages their bodies share. In Courtney’s care, clients find a sanctuary of trust and authenticity, where every session is a step toward self-awareness, joy, and holistic wellness, guided by the truth that nobody knows you better than yourself.
