Welcome! I’m Courtney Finstad, the founder of Align Coaching, where I support individuals on their journey to self-discovery, healing, and personal growth. My coaching style integrates mindfulness, somatics, and neuroscience-based strategies to help you reconnect with your true potential and create lasting transformation.

My "Why"

My path to becoming a life coach was shaped by a deeply transformative personal experience. While navigating corporate burnout and caring for my chronically ill father, I worked with a holistic life coach whose support inspired me to pursue this path. I realized the profound impact that personalized coaching could have on an individual’s well-being, and I made it my mission to help others navigate life’s challenges with clarity, purpose, and balance.

I believe that we all have the capacity to thrive when we are supported in ways that honor our mind, body, and spirit. It’s an honor for me to guide clients through their own healing processes and empower them to lead more fulfilling lives.

My approach blends yoga principles with life coaching, helping clients reconnect with their bodies, regulate their nervous systems, and cultivate deeper self-awareness for lasting transformation.

Why Choose Align Coaching?

I help people break through the patterns that keep them stuck—whether it’s burnout, stress, or feeling disconnected from their true selves. Together, we dive deep to uncover the root causes, process through them in a supportive and judgment-free space, and move toward a life that actually feels aligned.

What makes working with me different? I don’t believe in surface-level solutions. My approach weaves together mindfulness, somatics, and neuroscience-backed strategies to help you not just understand why you feel the way you do, but actually shift. Through breathwork, movement, and deep conversation, I help you reconnect with your body’s wisdom, find clarity, and create sustainable change.

My ideal client is someone who knows there’s more to life than just going through the motions. You’re ready to stop settling for exhaustion, disconnection, or feeling like you’re constantly treading water. You want to feel at home in yourself again—grounded, intentional, and truly alive.

If this sounds like you, let’s work together to create the life you are meant to live—because you only get one.
