Kourtnie is a retired/disabled Deputy Sheriff diagnosed with Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy. Currently spending most of her time as a Professional Pet Training Instructor and co-tender to Sacred Space Spiritual Center in Volusia County Florida. She has spent time in her recent life as a surgical Pet Nurse for a local animal hospital and previously as the Program Coordinator for a multi-county disaster relief organization located in Volusia, Flagler and Putnam Counties.

She enjoys spending all of her time with her furry family, which includes her two Dobies Krähe and Koenig, her Dalmatian Lili, and her two Wolfdogs Cheyenne and Kiba. Her dogs mean the world to her and she would give up everything to save just one. They are her passion, her heart and her soul. She states she doesn't have family and some friends and lovers have come and gone but her dogs are always there for her! She is currently a member of several animal rescue and animal rights organizations along with a few Eco-Activist groups, Civil Rights organizations, and a die hard vegan (unless, she says, you count the honey).

She also enjoys photographing, documenting, and preserving historic cemeteries. Along with a fellow Taphophile, she co-founded the International Association of Cemetery Preservationists, Inc (according to her, "one dark and stormy night in Savannah, just kidding but it was during a trip to Savannah").

She is ordained Clergy, a Florida Notary, and a Reiki Master/Teacher "specializing" in the needs of the Pagan Community. She is also the former Senior Fellowship Coordinator for the Sunshine Grove CUUPS. Also, she is a member of the ADF, Order of the Mithril Star, the OBOD, and a life time member of WSI, just to name a few.
