Awakening Heart Awareness

A private advisory that works at the level where human experience is created—before thought, behavior, or strategy.

When something important is breaking down—or ready to break through.

Courtney is a spiritual psychologist twenty years of experience supporting high-functioning individuals through relationship crisis, family challenges, burnout, business strain, and major life transitions.

This is a space to be honest, to understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and to begin restoring clarity, direction, and momentum. The work leads to meaningful change across relationships, family, and professional life.

Welcome.

For those who know there’s more.

While most approaches focus on thoughts, behavior, circumstances, or strategy, Courtney works at the level that drives them—where patterns are formed and decisions are made.

From there, change isn’t temporary. Issues begin to resolve at their root, creating lasting shifts in how you experience your life, relationships, and work. With greater clarity and emotional freedom, you’re able to move forward with stronger decision-making and a renewed sense of direction.

As internal pressure, burnout, and overwhelm settle, what emerges is a more natural state of ease, confidence, and presence—allowing success, both personal and professional, to build in a way that is sustainable and aligned.

Often, when everything feels like it’s coming apart, something essential is ready to be restored. The consultation is a 60–90 minute session designed to give you a real experience of this work. You’ll leave with clarity you can immediately apply, and a sense of whether continuing together feels right.

Many clients arrive at a pivotal moment—when something is no longer working and a clear shift is needed.

Courtney’s work began in 2008, when high-functioning, capable, and self-aware individuals started seeking her out after therapy, coaching, workshops, and personal development efforts were no longer creating meaningful change.

Since then, her practice has grown through long-term client relationships and word-of-mouth referral—offering highly personalized support across relationship, family, career, and leadership.

Rather than focusing on strategy, behavior, or thought alone, Courtney works at the level that shapes them. When that level becomes clear, internal pressure begins to release, tension settles, and change occurs in a way that is natural and sustainable.

Over the years, her clients have included founders, executives, creative artists, New York Times bestselling authors, entrepreneurs, athletes, psychologists, practitioners, and parents.

This is a space for meaningful conversation, clarity, and real resolution—supporting forward movement, stability, and continued growth.

What Clients Experience

  • Clarity where there was confusion or overwhelm

  • Resolution of patterns that previously repeated

  • Greater steadiness in relationships, family, and decision-making

  • A reduction in internal pressure, stress, and reactivity

  • The ability to move forward with confidence and direction

As things begin to improve, many clients notice something unexpected—the challenge becomes staying in that clarity and ease.

Part of this work is building the capacity to remain steady as life becomes more aligned, so that peace, confidence, and well-being are not temporary states, but something you can sustain.

About Courtney.

Courtney Anne Pierce is the founder of Awakening Heart Awareness, a private advisory supporting individuals through meaningful change in their personal and professional lives.

Her work draws from over two decades in private practice, supported by a master’s degree in spiritual psychology, additional training in divinity, and an ecumenical ordination.

Many clients come to this work at pivotal moments—when something in life, relationship, or work is no longer sustainable.

Rather than relying on a fixed method or system, Courtney works directly with the underlying patterns shaping a person’s experience—often before they are fully articulated. This allows for a level of clarity and resolution that goes beyond insight alone and leads to real, lasting change.

Her practice has grown through long-term client relationships and word-of-mouth referral, often with individuals navigating high levels of responsibility, creativity, and complexity.

Awakening Heart Awareness is a space for direct, meaningful conversation—where clients can speak openly, see clearly, and move forward with greater ease and confidence.

If this resonates for you, you can schedule a 60–90 minute consultation to experience the work directly and gain clarity you can apply immediately.
