with self-conscious feelings
opt for a mirror-less
appointment, and Courteney
is happy to cater for whatever
issues people struggle with.
But as Courteney says, it isn’t
just people with mental health
issues who might need a
softer touch.
“I find that since COVID
there’s been a shift in the way
the world works. Even those
people who don’t have mental
health issues want to embrace
a slower pace and enjoy a oneon-one
experience with lights
that can be dimmed.”
As for Courteney herself,
she’s never been better.
Psychology, regular gym visits
and her new business have all
helped.
“I’m definitely in a good
space. The healthiest and
most stable I’ve ever been.”
“There were times I didn’t
think I’d make it to my 30s.
But If I hadn’t had those
struggles I wouldn’t have
Coco Cherie and wouldn’t be
touching so many beautiful
women’s lives.”
Lives such as Meagan’s.
“I love Courteney’s
philosophy that everyone,
regardless of anything,
deserves to feel beautiful,”
says Meagan. “She is a proud
neurodivergent woman who
understands the different
needs of everyone she
encounters and that is
something to encourage and
admire.” – Rob Pegley
