  • I was fortunate to attend one of Courtney Schulnick’s speaking engagements before a large room full of lawyers. I found the program to be easy to use and to provide an exceedingly useful tool to combat everyday stress. I have already used the techniques I learned that day in my practice. I know from others that attended that day that they have enjoyed the same responses. I highly recommend attending her classes.

    Christopher P. Block, Esquire

  • Courtney introduced me to mindfulness with a 6-week program at Marshall Dennehey. Her calm demeanor and soothing approach helped me to incorporate mindfulness into my daily life. Almost 4 years later I continue to attend a group practice that she leads on a weekly basis. She is always including new practices into her routine, which keeps it fresh and interesting. I would recommend her as a teacher of this discipline to anyone who is interested in improving their mental well being.

    Steve Ahern, Esquire

  • Courtney put together a mindfulness meditation training for over 100 paralegals that I managed at a large law firm. Her training received hands-down the most positive reviews. A number of the paralegals followed up with her for additional meditation sessions and have reported to me that due to Courtney's training and guidance, they have their own daily meditation routine. Courtney has a solid approach to introducing mindfulness meditation to busy adults in occupations where stress is a common factor. She is able to provide strategies and a roadmap for an effective meditation practice to those that think they may be "too busy" or "stressed out."

    Linda Barron, Esquire

  • Courtney is a star. Making the techniques Courtney shares and teaches part of a daily routine provides moments of comfort in an otherwise manic schedule, allows us to reset our priorities, and supplies a renewed focus to address the personal and professional items on the "to do" list. And when unexpected issues arise, Courtney's guidance allows a better way of putting things in a proper perspective and to then work through the challenges and opportunities. I can attest to Courtney's exceptional experience and the ways in which she has enriched a room filled with over 200 lawyers and corporate executives. I use her techniques daily and recommend her without qualification.

    Bernie Heinze - Litigation and Insurance Consultant, Attorney & Association Management Executive

  • Courtney is an expert in building resilience skills for students, faculty, and practicing legal practitioners. After just one session I knew meditation and mindfulness was right for me. Since then, I have practiced regularly, and have sought to share its benefits with family, friends, and other practitioners.

    Nicholas Gangemi, Esquire

  • I thought that I was a good listener, both in life and in business, before I took Courtney’s course. After participating in the mindful conversation exercises I realized that I wasn’t necessarily listening when people talked to me, but was instead waiting until I could talk. Practicing mindful listening has helped me tremendously as I am now able to digest what is being said to me and respond to what is being said and not just talk. I encourage people to try this program, as it helps in all aspects of life and encourages one to be present.

    Niki T. Ingram, Esquire, President, Philadelphia Bar Foundation

  • I had the pleasure of attending a presentation by Courtney Schulnick to 750 attorneys. The content was sorely needed by an audience of stressed-out litigators and her delivery led even the cynics in the audience to appreciate the benefits of mindfulness. She effectively led the entire group in a short meditation. It was a great session.

    Barbara A. O’Connell, Esquire

  • Courtney was a panelist at our annual CLE, where the focus was on the importance of emotional intelligence in the legal profession. Courtney was an amazing panelist and led a mindfulness practice at the end of the discussion. We received positive feedback that the session was one of the best CLE presentation. I would definitely recommend Courtney going forward.

    Nicole Stokes, Esquire, MBA - City of Philadelphia

  • What sets Courtney apart is her profound journey toward achieving balance and well-being in both her professional and personal life. Her mindfulness teachings enable individuals to show up more fully for the moments in their lives, enhancing their overall well-being. Her work fosters deeper self-care, increased productivity, and enhanced enjoyment of life. I wholeheartedly recommend her to any individual or organization looking to benefit from the transformative power of mindfulness.

    Gary Miles, Esquire, Success Coach - The Free Lawyer

  • Courtney exhibits the rare combination of the analytical mind of a lawyer and the heart intelligence of a mindfulness practitioner. Whether a client of Courtney’s legal practice or of her mindfulness offerings, one will be extremely fortunate to have her as an advocate, guide, and friend!

    Maria Bries, Esquire - Fox Swibel Levin & Carroll LLP Energy Law and Real Estate Groups

  • I had the pleasure of speaking on a panel with Courtney Schulnick about emotional intelligence for lawyers and thought she was the star of the show. Courtney spoke about the importance of taking moments to rest and connect with ourselves and shared the benefits of doing so. Her expertise shone through as did her passion, as she applied experiential learning by guiding us through a mindfulness practice. The impact on the audience was evident. I highly recommend Courtney as a speaker and would welcome the opportunity to share the mic with her again.

    Dena Lefkowitz, Esquire, Lawyer Coach

  • I was lucky enough to attend one of Courtney's session while a Co-Chair of The Women in the Profession for the Philadelphia Bar Association. It was an informative and beneficial program for all the attendees, as well as a reminder of the positive impact mindfulness can have both personally and professionally. I recommend Courtney as a speaker.

    Michele Punturi, Esquire - Marshall Dennehey

  • Courtney offers her unique meditation talents to empower each participant to realize his or her optimal emotional growth and physical well-being. She consistently has a bright, optimistic, energizing attitude that is never judgmental or rigid. Courtney is the best and I highly recommend her for your wellness needs!

    Carole B. Sheffield, Esquire - Anderson Kill, P.C.

  • “Such a wonderful course that reminds us to accept ourselves and be kind!” “Courtney is an intelligent, knowledgeable, and compassionate person.” “Courtney was exceptional.” These comments, directed at Courtney’s recent webcast on Mindful Aging, represent the kind of feedback that all program managers dream about receiving after a project. Courtney attracted over 130 attendees for this program and kept them fully engaged with her recommendations on mindfulness exercises and strategies for dealing with stress and living a judgement-free life.

    Stacey Thomas, Program Manager - Pennsylvania Bar Institute

    Grace Pirolli, Navy Yard Operations Manager - URBN, Urban Outfitters, Inc.

  • The Bucks County Bar Association had the pleasure of hosting a mindfulness program by Courtney. Courtney's presentation gave excellent insight into how attorneys can live more fully in the present moment and achieve greater balance, vitality and health. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and post-program feedback from our membership was excellent. I highly recommend Courtney as a mindfulness teacher; those who have the opportunity to work with and learn from Courtney won't be disappointed!

    Emily McGee, Director of Development & Marketing - Bucks County Bar Association & Foundation

    Annie Calvert, MBA, CPC, Executive Life Coach

  • Courtney came to share the lessons of mindfulness with students in my externship class. Courtney's teaching allows you to slow down in this rushed world. You can tell that her teaching is grounded in her own practice. I also had the privilege of collaborating with her on a CLE program. She is a fantastic and creative and always brings fresh ideas and her heart to the work she does.

    Alison Lintal, Esquire

    Scott Aaron, Expert Authority Mastermind

  • Courtney's two-decades of experience as a litigator gives her an authentic understanding of the challenges professionals face in high-pressure environments. What truly sets Courtney apart as a mindfulness teacher is her ability to make mindfulness practices accessible and relevant for busy professionals. For any organization seeking to enhance their team's resilience, reduce stress, and cultivate a more mindful workplace culture, Courtney would be an invaluable resource.
