Courtney no longer offers 1:1 nutrition counseling. She is focusing on her website & design studio, Declet Designs, while still providing online nutrition courses, an array of free resources, and is available for media requests.
You deserve so much more
Your life is meant for so much more than counting calories
Hi, friend
I’m Courtney
Dietitian, Intuitive Eating Counselor, Food Therapist, Body Image Coach
That’s basically a lot of words to say that I help you heal your relationship with food and your body image ❤️
I want you to imagine what it would be like to never track calories ever again.
What it would be like to go eat pizza with friends and have *fun* without feeling guilty or like you need to exercise to ‘make up’ for it later.
Or even go to the pool in your bathing suit and relax instead of worrying about how your body looks.
These are just some of the examples of what diet culture and eating disorders have stolen from us.
But, the good news is that we can get it back!
Hi friend
I believe that providing our bodies with nourishment, respect & self compassion are the keys to true overall health & wellbeing
My Values
Empathy
Empathy is a core value for me as I create educational content and resources.
I always strive to make sure that everyone feels understood. For me, it’s all about getting people to feel good in their own skin by giving them a sense of self-worth as well as skills for dealing with challenges, so they can flourish on their own terms.
Compassion
I am passionate about the power of human connection.
Life is full of diverse experiences and challenges. Through my online courses and resources, I aim to provide guidance and support for your nutrition-related needs. Whether you’re navigating difficult moments or celebrating successes, my goal is to inspire and empower you.
Inclusion
I believe that everyone deserves to feel like they belong.
This means that I will do my best to create a space that is safe for all. I want everyone to feel welcome and accepted, regardless of their background or identity. I may not always do this perfectly, but I committed to learning and listening.
Integrity
Integrity is at the heart of everything I do.
I believe in being true and honest in all aspects of life, including my professional endeavors. This commitment to integrity shapes my content and courses, ensuring they reflect not just my professional standards, but also my personal philosophy.
My Mission
My mission at Vickery Wellness is to offer a weight-inclusive and anti-diet perspective on nutrition through our comprehensive online courses and resources. I aim to create a safe, diverse, and non-judgmental virtual environment.
In line with this mission, we continue to support Diversify Dietetics, contributing monthly to their efforts to increase racial and ethnic diversity in the nutrition field and to empower nutrition leaders of color.

Did we just become best friends?!
I am from a small, rural town in Georgia (when I say small, I mean population of 2,700 people small). And I have been married to my high school sweetheart for over 12 years (yep, these exist!).
We have 2 awesome kids who are always making me laugh – well, when they aren’t making me pull out my hair. We also have 1 sweet dog and 2 cute kitties; they are all rescues who were abandoned by their previous owners and are living the life of luxury now!
If you love Harry Potter, Jurassic Park and other science fiction books & movies, then I’m your person.
The best explanation of my personality would be ‘outgoing introvert.’ That means I have no problem speaking in front of a crowd and will talk your ear off when it’s just us. But, then I will need lots of time to myself to recharge!
