Behind the Scenes With Dr. Kurtovic

Dr. Kurtovic has a passion for wellness and believes in the power of merging elements of Eastern and Western medicine to optimize whole-body healing. As a Reiki Master, she understands the profound impact of energy work on the body’s ability to restore itself. She has also completed 120 hours of advanced training in Craniosacral Work with a Biodynamic Perspective, which has deepened her understanding of how subtle, hands-on techniques can release tension, enhance vitality, and support the body’s innate healing intelligence.

In her free time, Dr. Kurtovic loves spending time with her family and watching her daughter grow and discover joy in the simple things in life. She enjoys connecting with the stillness in nature and practices Iyengar yoga and mindfulness as much as possible.

I love supporting women throughout their healing journeys and feel honored to be a part of their transformations as they rediscover the beauty and light within their bodies after surgery.
