Courtney Lochner is one of the foremost voices in psychedelic medicine for treatment-resistant trauma, anxiety, depression, and trauma, and one of the most credentialed experts in holistic healing today. An Eric Hoffer Award-winning author, board-certified health coach, and founder of the Intuition Rehab Lab (IRL), she has built a global reputation for turning the most complete healing modalities into accessible, life-changing practice. A former professional dancer, she brings a rare, embodied understanding of the mind-body connection to everything she teaches.   Certified in nutrition design from Harvard Medical School and medicinal plants through Cornell, among other degrees, Lochner has deepened her expertise beyond the classroom, studying directly with tribes in the Amazon where she immersed herself in plant medicine traditions that inform her work to this day. She leads transformational retreats across the globe and is currently developing a documentary series exploring the frontier of psychedelic medicine. Her forthcoming book on the topic is poised to become a definitive resource for a field the world is only beginning to understand.   Her creative work carries the same fearlessness. Lochner's short story, Good Morning, Baby was adapted into a film produced by Moxie Pictures and Glamour Magazine, starring Pieper Perabo--proof that her gift for illuminating the human experience extends well beyond the healing room.   Whole-person healing, grounded in science, powered by nature, and told with unflinching honesty. That is the work of Courtney Lochner.
