Meet Courtney

For more than 20 years, I have dedicated my life to studying skin, treating skin & helping women feel confident in their own skin. But this work has always been about more than skincare. It is a calling, a ministry of healing & a vision God placed on my heart when I founded Alpenglow Skin Spa nearly two decades ago.

Everything I have built is because of His faithfulness. Jesus rescued me during one of the darkest seasons of my life. After experiencing homelessness in my 20’s & carrying the pain of a difficult childhood, I spent years struggling with grief after losing my mother at just 13 years old in a tragic accident caused by a drunk driver. For a long time, I blamed God for my pain. Then I encountered Jesus in a way that changed everything. He met me in my brokenness and brought healing to places in my heart I never thought could be restored. Every good thing in my life today is because of Him.

As a solo esthetician, I brought my advanced aesthetics training from California to Colorado Springs in 2008. At the time, professional skincare options were limited & I saw an opportunity to introduce results-driven treatments, exceptional skincare products, and a higher standard of care.

Over the years, I discovered that many women arrive carrying much more than skin concerns. They bring stress, exhaustion, hormonal changes, burnout, grief, transition, joy & every emotion in between. It has always been an honor to create a space where women feel safe enough to set those burdens down, or share them with me. I love listening & giving encouragement, or just letting you experience a silent session.

Recently, I welcomed my first child at 50 years old. My miracle daughter, Baylor, has transformed my life in ways I never imagined possible. Becoming a mother later in life has also changed the way I view beauty, wellness & aging. Today, I appreciate the simple rituals of self-care more than ever. During nap time, you will often find me working out in my home gym, enjoying Celluma red light therapy, dermaplaning, or doing a gentle peel. Caring for myself allows me to show up fully for my family & for my clients.

While I still love beautiful results and healthy, glowing skin, I am far more interested in helping women look radiant, rested, healthy, and authentically themselves than pursuing perfection.

My approach combines advanced skincare expertise with a calming, restorative experience focused on healthy aging, facial massage, lymphatic drainage, barrier repair, hydration & long-term skin wellness. I am also a firm believer that great home care is one of the most powerful investments you can make in your skin. The products you use every day carry the results of your treatments long after you leave the treatment room.

At Alpenglow Skin Spa, you will never be treated like a number. Every treatment is customized, every skincare plan is personalized, and every concern is listened to with care, honesty, and attention. My goal is simple: to help you leave feeling lighter, refreshed, deeply cared for & truly seen with a glow that radiates from the inside out.

Because I work from a private home studio, I accept clients by referral only. This allows me to maintain an intimate, peaceful environment where meaningful relationships can flourish. Many of my clients have been with me for nearly two decades and feel more like family than clients.

When I am not in the treatment room, you will usually find me spending time with my wonderful husband and our sweet daughter, hiking with our two dogs (a Husky and a Doodle), singing worship music, playing guitar, writing songs & poetry, reading Christian fiction, thrifting vintage treasures, cooking comfort food, or enjoying a spa day of my own.

Thank you for being here. Whether you are seeking healthier skin, a place to relax, or simply a moment to be cared for, I look forward to welcoming you.

With love & gratitude,

Courtney
