Courtney Finstad
Courtney Finstad is the Founder of Align Coaching, a Certified Integral Coach®, and a dedicated yoga instructor who moves through the world with deep intention, integrity, and a profound commitment to helping others reconnect with themselves. She guides individuals through burnout, life transitions, and stress, helping them reclaim clarity, well-being, and purpose.
Rooted in the anti-hustle movement, Courtney’s coaching approach blends mindfulness, somatics, and neuroscience-backed strategies, fostering deeper mind-body awareness and alignment. She creates space for clients to slow down, listen inward, and cultivate lasting, sustainable change. With an intuitive and attuned presence, she sees beyond the surface, guiding clients with compassion and precision. Her work integrates breathwork, movement, and deep listening, helping individuals break free from stress patterns, heal emotional blocks, and reconnect with their innate wisdom, values and vitality.
Courtney’s path to coaching began with a lifelong curiosity about human behavior and interconnectedness, leading her to earn a degree in Sociology from the University of Oregon. Her professional journey—spanning leadership roles, entrepreneurial endeavors, and global travel—offered profound insights into individual growth, purpose, and resilience. A pivotal turning point came during her work facilitating Purpose Workshops with the Blue Zones (a global longevity project), where she witnessed firsthand the power of reconnecting people with their ‘why.’ This transformative experience inspired her to pursue life coaching as her vocation, now integrating her years of experience as a yoga instructor into her practice.
Beyond her work, Courtney embraces adventure—through travel, nature, and creative exploration—finding joy in both movement and stillness. She carries a deep reverence for the world’s interconnectedness and believes in the power of slowing down to experience life fully. Grounded yet expansive, she walks alongside others as both a guide and a seeker, helping them return to themselves with more ease, clarity, and a renewed sense of awe and wonder.
At Align Coaching, her mission is to empower individuals to rediscover vitality, shift perspective, and live authentically aligned lives. If you’re ready to step into a more whole version of yourself, she’d be honored to support you on this journey.
