Courageous the Real Me was created as a resource for people to heal and live their most authentic life. It takes a tremendous amount of courage to face the most difficult challenges in your life, but once you have you know that it’s completely worth it!
Here at Courageous the Real Me, we believe that childhood trauma is at the root of all dysfunction in life - including your fears, physical ailments, limiting beliefs, and overall nervous system dysregulation. When you heal your childhood trauma, you no longer move through life just being triggered by events around you; you live life on your own terms, making decisions and doing things in alignment with who you are and what you truly want for yourself.
Through a holistic Reiki approach, our practitioners guide you through an intuitive process that calms your nervous system while meeting younger versions of yourself at difficult moment that contributed to dysfunctional beliefs or behavior patterns you have today. Healing these moments from your younger ages allows you to move beyond any triggers that may be attached to them and start living the life YOU want rather than being held back by nervous system disregulation from trauma triggers.
We know that the only approach to health & wellness is holistic - acknowledging & caring for every aspect of your human self. In the pages of this website you’ll find resources that will help you at whatever point of life you are at. If you don’t find what you’re looking for, reach out - we’re happy to hear your feedback & improve our offerings to meet your needs.
Meet the founder
Yvonne Wintz
Yvonne founded Courageous the Real Me after seven years of navigating the greatest healing journey of her life. At the age of 26, she was bedridden and in so much pain she could barely move. The first doctor she met with told her nothing was wrong with her - she was “the perfect picture of health!” The second doctor gave her a diagnosis of chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia, and told her this is how she would live the rest of her life.
This diagnosis was devastating yet also so absurd - that an average, fairly healthy 26 year old woman would be bedridden for the rest of her life! She refused to accept this as her fate. She cultivated the belief that anyone could heal from illness and started asking more questions to figure out how to live a healthy, balanced life in the 21st century. She started a journey of rebuilding herself from the cellular level which led her to explore many, many healing modalities. She learned an incredible amount throughout that journey, and healed herself from every diagnosis doctors imposed upon her. She brings this knowledge to Courageous the Real Me to help others heal, and thrive!
