Dr. Courtney Kirkland, PharmD, BCPS

I was diagnosed with Stage IV (severe) endometriosis at the age of 29 years old, and underwent the first of what would be several surgeries to try to manage the disease.  After several years of struggling with endometriosis and infertility, I was diagnosed in 2018 with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, gluten sensitivity and several food allergies after suffering a devastating miscarriage.  Traditional medicine had gotten me this far, but could not provide me a cure or lasting treatment for any of these conditions.

I began to research alternative options for managing inflammation, stress, and slowing the progression of my medical conditions.  Being a dyed-in-the-wool, evidence-based pharmacist, I looked for alternative methods that were backed by science.

I found Dr. Izabella Wentz, a fellow PharmD and Hashimoto's patient-turned-expert, and she opened the world of evidence-based, alternative holistic medicine to me.  For the first time I felt there was hope!  I made dietary changes, supplement changes, and "cleaned" my house of as many trigger chemicals and synthetics as possible.  I began to learn about essential oils and organics, and thus began my transition to a cleaner life.  If you or a loved one are struggling with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, I really encourage you to swing by Dr. Wentz's website here: https://thyroidpharmacist.com

I was also grateful to learn about Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) which is a validated program for decreasing stress and its myriad health problems.  MBSR was developed at The University of Massachusetts and has decades of high-quality research backing the methods.  If you are struggling with managing your stress, please check out the flagship program here: https://www.ummhealth.org/center-mindfulness

I know if I am struggling with these issues, that I am not alone!   If you are like me and seeking to live a greener life, I can help you with that goal!  I have unique knowledge and an interest in helping others to achieve their skincare goals in a more natural way.  I have researched every ingredient that I use in my formulas and I am confident in their clean safety.  Everything I make for others I also use on myself and provide to my family members.

In addition to my standard line of products, I offer one-on-one consultations and custom solutions.  During these consultations, I will assess your skincare concerns, your diagnosed conditions, allergies, sensitivities and preferences.  I will team with you to create a customized product that is tailored to your specific and unique needs.
