Meet Courtney

WAANDS™ was created in 2020 as an expansion of The Empowered Woman, Courtney's first venture, shop, & educational platform devoted to awakening embodied feminine power.

Rooted in a vision of refined intimacy, WAANDS™ offers an elevated collection of crystal pleasure products - each one thoughtfully crafted to inspire eroticism, deepen self-connection, and celebrate the art of pleasure.

At its heart, WAANDS™ is more than a product line - it is a sensual philosophy. A luxurious evolution of Courtney's mission to guide women into unapologetic pleasure, erotic awakening, and personal empowerment.

From a young age, I had a longing to experience the full expression & enjoyment of my sexuality. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to celebrations of sexuality, especially through dance!

Sex has always felt innately spiritual & meaningful to me. This feeling led me to pursue my own sexual empowerment & awakening as early as my teenage years.

I first explored this through promiscuity, pursuing my pleasure without remorse, & being “that friend” who proudly bought all my girlfriends their first vibrator.

I went on to explore the fields of sacred sexuality, personal development, nervous system healing, holistic health, and spirituality - meanwhile completing a Psychology Degree and a Masters Degree in Coaching.

My formal education was followed by years of travel and study, which led to a 6-year period of intensive tantric mentorship with one of my teachers from 2018-2024.

My studies ultimately awakened me to the immense incoherence within the mainstream sexual empowerment movements, which in many cases, only amplify the disconnection between women and their innate bodily intelligence.

My teachings and product lines are a response to that incoherence.

I first began sharing my journey & insights by hosting Women’s Circles, blogging, and coaching at the start of 2015.

I emphasized the self-actualizing power of slow self-pleasure, especially with the Crystal Pleasure Products that we offer in the shop today.

In early 2018, I launched my first course, the original Viva La Vagina™, which provides women with the foundational tools to connect to their pussy.

Since then, I have been privileged to influence thousands through my writing, teachings, & products - while continuing to dive deeper into the work myself.

Crystal Pleasure Wands to me, have always symbolized erotic celebration.

They've been a doorway and permission slip to inhabit my true sexual nature.

And they've supported me to listen and commune with my body's wisdom at a level that has catalyzed by greatest spiritual awakenings.

I am excited & honored to share WAANDS™ with you.

Crystal Wands and Yoni Eggs have been ongoing allies in my explorations of truth and sex - and I hope that our products offer you the same profound pleasure & transformation that they've provided me.

Love,

Courtney
