BE PART OF THE MOVEMENT
🌟 SHINE: We Were Born to Light the Way
SHINE exists to awaken what the world forgot.
We stand for the ones who are ready to rise.
We teach people how to thrive.
Our vision reminds people that healing is possible, empowerment is teachable, and light is contagious.
​
​
💫 What We Stand For
We stand for authentic living—powered by clarity, intention, and inner truth.
We believe that when you feel good, you do good.
We believe mindset shapes reality.
And that deliberate, consistent practice transforms lives.
We believe education should elevate.
Healing should feel sacred.
And community should see you.
​
​
🔥 What Sets Us Apart
While the world teaches hustle, we teach energetics.
While most stay on the surface, we go to the root.
We deliver experiences that activate your power and rewire your being.
We don’t just teach techniques—we transform destinies.
We walk the talk.
We execute with the heart of healers and the focus of athletes.
And we create spaces where people remember who they are.
We are not just employees or instructors—we are lighthouses.
​
​
🌱 What We're Letting Go Of
We’re here to rise beyond:
+Survival thinking
+Outdated systems
+Misinformed leadership
+Fear-based beliefs that dim your light
​
We’re not here to play small.
We believe the worst energy you carry is often the belief that you can’t change.
We're here to show you otherwise.
​
​
🌈 A Future We Believe In
We’re not just healing the past—we are building a luminous future.
One where communities are rooted in heart-centered collaboration.
Where education feels like empowerment.
Where self-care is sacred and leadership is embodied.
Where your light isn’t just welcomed—it’s needed.
We’re here to help people remember:
✨ You are powerful.
✨ You are capable.
✨ You are allowed to shine.
​
This is more than a business.
It’s a movement.
A revolution in how we live, lead, love, and learn.
Join us.
Be seen. Be heard. Be activated.
SHINE.
"I am so thankful to have met Cortney, as she’s helped bring so much peace into my life! Aside from being a gifted practitioner and thoughtful teacher, Cortney is one of - if not the most - positive, inspiring, and uplifting people that I’ve had the good fortune to know."
Our Location
Our main campus is located at 5190 Cline Rd, Kent Ohio just minutes away from KSU and Dix Stadium.
There are two entrances into this property, if you find yourself at a security gate, you are at the wrong entrance. The correct entrance has a sign that says “Welcome to SHINE” with a bright colorful mural on the front of the building.
We hold events at both our 1,800 square foot Education + Retreat Center (aka the Light House) and our quaint and cozy second studio (aka the Nest). If your class or event is in the Nest, you will park in the same parking lot - in front of the main building - and then cross the bridge to the left of the main building and follow the signs to the second studio (a one-minute walk among the trees).
​
If you are attending a certification at our location, we encourage you to arrive at least 5-10 minutes early to settle before the start of class. To be respectful of everyone's schedule, we like to start right on time. We know that a lot of our students are driving from further distances, so we open the door typically 15 minutes before the class start time.
​
We encourage attendees to dress in layers; the education center has tall ceilings and often the heat rises and can sometimes become a little chilly.
