Hi, I'm Courtney! I'm the owner of Positive Waves and have over 15 years of experience working with children. I have a strong background in behavioral intervention and love helping kids build confidence while learning through play.

Some of my favorite therapy sessions happened in the water. Over the years, I've incorporated swimming into behavioral sessions to help children overcome fears, build confidence, improve water safety, and work toward their individual goals. Watching a child realize they can do something they never thought possible is one of the best parts of my job.

I'm pretty laid back and believe kids learn best when they're having fun. I love being goofy, getting silly, and following a child's interests to create meaningful learning opportunities. I use naturalistic teaching techniques to make lessons feel less like work and more like play, while still building important swimming and water safety skills.

Whether your child is just getting comfortable in the water, needs a little extra encouragement, or simply learns best with an individualized approach, my goal is to help them feel safe, successful, and excited to come back each week.

I hold a Master's in Education and a Master's in Applied Behavior Analysis, and my background continues to shape the individualized, supportive approach I bring to every lesson.

I can't wait to help your child make positive waves!
