Courtney partners with Yoga Untamed to bring her love of creating nourishing and nutrient dense foods to the great outdoors.  Originally from North Dakota, she moved to Wyoming with her husband to run dog sled tours in 2012.  She continued to run dog sled tours in addition to cooking remotely on a glacier in Alaska for groups of dog mushers where her passion for food and sustainable farming practices began.  Living in Alaska provides its own unique food advantages and challenges.  In 2018, Courtney and Michael began their small farm in Palmer, Alaska in order to teach their four children about the importance food has on our environment and on our bodies, bringing their food sources close to home.  They currently raise dairy goats, chickens, ducks and rabbits alongside their very loved and spoiled retired sled dogs. She is passionate about educating the next generation about gardening, wild foraging, food preservation, fishing, hunting, and grinding grains to keep ourselves, children and planet healthy.   When she isn’t doing farm chores, homeschooling kids, coaching cross country ski team, and baking sourdough bread, she works as a pediatric occupational therapist and lactation consultant helping infants meet developmental and feeding goals.
