I’m Courtney, a Hellenistic astrologer, community herbalist, meditation guide, writer, and eclectic Pagan based in the Great Smoky Mountains of Western North Carolina. I specialize in pet grief, life transitions, and the deeply sacred bond between humans and their animal companions.

Before founding The Cosmic Craft, I spent over a decade working in veterinary medicine, animal rescue, and animal advocacy. During that time, I sat with more than a hundred people as they said goodbye to beloved animals. I offered presence when guardians could not be there, held space during final moments, and supported families searching for meaning after a pet’s transition. Those experiences continue to shape my work and my devotion to tending grief that is often unseen, minimized, or misunderstood.

At The Cosmic Craft, an LGBTQIA+ owned small business, I offer astrology consultations, herbal support, and ritual care. I focus on whole body support during times of change. I work with people navigating transitions of all kinds, including identity shifts, love and relationship changes, major endings, and grief, with particular care for the layered and tender experience of losing an animal companion.

My approach weaves ancient astrological wisdom, folk herbalism, breathwork, and nervous system aware practices to help people stay connected to their bodies, emotions, and inner knowing while moving through loss and transformation. I’m known for translating complex spiritual concepts into grounded, compassionate tools that feel accessible during moments of vulnerability.

Maybe you’re seeking clarity through the stars. Maybe you’re curious about working with herbs and their intuitive wisdom. Or maybe you’re simply craving a little more magic in the mundane. Whatever brought you here, know that real connection is at the heart of everything I do. I believe in honesty over polish, presence over perfection, and sharing my path openly so you feel welcome as you explore your own.
