the kōena family

Courtney Williams is a dedicated Family Nurse Practitioner, holding a Master’s degree from the University of Phoenix. She has an extensive healthcare background, with 13 years as a Cardiac ICU Nurse. Later, she transitioned into her role as an FNP, specializing in Men’s and Women’s Health as well as Hormone Optimization. Courtney’s mission today centers around empowering her patients to become their best selves (and to feel healthy and vibrant) one symptom at a time.

Courtney is committed to fostering a collaborative environment at the clinic, where the shared goal is to support patients on their journey towards renewed happiness, health, and strength. Her expertise lies in optimizing healthcare, and she takes pride in being a part of the transformative impact that holistic care has on so many who are suffering. Courtney has been the perfect addition to the team, as her commitment to excellence inspires the entire practice.

Courtney, holding prescriptive authority in Colorado and Arizona, reviews each unique case that comes through Kōena and gives recommendations and approval before any medication is prescribed. 

In her free time, Courtney tends to her flock of 40 chickens and embraces the outdoors. Summers find her fishing and paddleboarding on the lake, while evenings are reserved for sunsets with her husband from the comfort of their back porch.

Natasia holds a Bachelor of Science in Human Development and Family Studies with a minor in Prevention and Intervention Sciences, and has spent more than 13 years in nonprofit and community-focused leadership — building her career around advocacy, education, and supporting families.

 

As a single mother with deep family roots in Longmont, Natasia's connection to this community runs far deeper than professional. Her family's history here — and the lasting impact it left on Longmont — shapes who she is every day and fuels her passion for compassion, advocacy, and meaningful connection throughout Boulder County.

 

At Kōena, Natasia oversees clinic operations, patient experience, team coordination, and organizational growth. She is passionate about building systems where patients and staff alike feel welcomed, supported, and genuinely cared for — while keeping the clinic grounded in the values and community roots that make Kōena different.

 

For Natasia, being part of Kōena isn't just a job. It's one of the most meaningful ways she can give back to the hometown she loves.

 

When she's not at the clinic, she's a proud mom to her daughter and their dog — and never too far from the Longmont family that means everything to her.

Abbie is an integrative medicine receptionist who believes healing begins with presence, compassion, and a peaceful first impression. She brings kindness, warmth, and a calm sense of humor to the front desk, helping patients feel supported, grounded, and truly welcome as they begin their healing journey at Koena.

Outside of the clinic, Abbie also works as a barista at Starbucks, where she has developed a strong sense of connection, attentiveness, and hospitality. These skills translate seamlessly into her role at Koena, where patient experience and thoughtful care are always a priority. She is also beginning to contribute to Koena’s social media, helping share the heart, culture, and day-to-day moments that reflect the clinic’s healing environment.

In her free time, Abbie enjoys crafting, doing nails, spending time outdoors, and relaxing with her cat, Chichi.

Lyndsey Cordova is a licensed and board certified Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine, functional medicine practitioner and the founder of Kōena. She was born and raised in Longmont, CO.

 

Lyndsey comes to eastern medicine from the Western biomedical field. Having been a surgical assistant for 16 years, she specialized in facial plastic surgery, ophthalmology and ENT/reconstructive surgery. She has thorough training in the anatomy and nerve pathways of the face and was fortunate enough to go through advanced training with a board certified ENT/ plastic surgeon. Her skills in the OR included advanced surgical skills like suturing, tissue dissection, incision making and injections.

 

While working in the OR, in 2016, Lyndsey became very sick, very fast. After 4 months and 6 MD visits, she still had no diagnosis. While going through that process, she turned to traditional Chinese medicine and functional medicine, desperate for relief. After her first acupuncture treatment, she slept through the night for the first time in weeks. A functional medicine practitioner accurately diagnosed her and her symptoms began to improve. 

 

Lyndsey has always had a passion and deep understanding of the mind, body and soul connection. Combining the best of her biomedical training with her knowledge of TCM, she will provide an integrative, personal experience for all of her patients.

 

"My goal is to help people feel better. That's it. I want them to leave the clinic feeling refreshed and grounded, with their symptoms under control -- ready to take on their busy lives."

 

She earned her Master's degree in Acupuncture from Southwest Acupuncture College in Boulder, CO and her Doctorate from Pacific College of Health and Sciences in San Diego, CA. She is currently finishing her functional medicine certification at The School of Applied Functional Medicine. 

​

Lyndsey is a very proud mom to humans and doggos. She loves Colorado, her community and her family. 

Aliyah is a Colorado native currently studying business. She began at Kōena managing social media, where her humor, honesty, and ability to explain what we do in a relatable way quickly made her a familiar face to our community.

As Kōena has grown, so has Aliyah’s role. She now serves as our Assistant Practice Manager, supporting daily clinic operations, team organization, and the overall patient experience. She brings a calm, reliable presence to the clinic and helps keep everything moving behind the scenes.

Outside of work and school, Aliyah enjoys Colorado sports, time in the mountains, live music, and being with her family and pups.

Caroline is a dedicated acupuncturist committed to providing thoughtful and patient centered care. She firmly believes in the inherent capacity of the human body to heal itself when in balance and strives to create a comfortable and supportive environment for each individual. She has a special interest in treating cases centered around women’s health issues, mental-emotional balance, digestion support, and facial rejuvenation techniques.

Her interest in natural and holistic medicine began after a lengthy battle with her own health issues. She was frustrated with the limitations of Western Medicine and wanted to seek alternative solutions. Discovering the transformative power of acupuncture and herbal medicine sparked a profound change in her life. Motivated by this personal journey of healing and transformation, she made the decision to return to school to study acupuncture. It wasn't just a career choice; it was a calling born out of a deep-seated desire to share the gift of healing with others and make a meaningful difference in their lives.

She graduated from Colorado Chinese Medicine University with a Master of Acupuncture Degree. Since graduation, Caroline has pursued certifications in microneedling and injection therapy to provide patients with even greater support on their journey to optimal health and wellness.

In practice, Caroline takes a personalized approach to each patient, taking the time to understand their unique needs and concerns. When she’s not practicing, you can find her exploring the beautiful state of Colorado, and spending time with her beloved dog and cat.

Lauren Brooks is one of those rare people who lights up a room the moment she walks in — and her patients feel it immediately. As a Licensed Massage Therapist and Esthetician, Lauren brings a dual expertise that is genuinely hard to find, but it's her heart and her commitment to exceptional care that make her truly unforgettable.

 

Lauren specializes in deep tissue massage and comprehensive skincare, and her approach is simple: help people feel better. Whether you're coming in tight, stressed, and sore, or looking to restore and refresh your skin, Lauren meets you exactly where you are. Her customer service is second to none — she remembers the details, she checks in, and she genuinely cares about how you leave feeling compared to how you arrived.

 

"I love what I do because I get to help people feel better in their bodies and their skin. That feeling never gets old."

 

Lauren is one of the few providers in Longmont who can care for both your body and your skin under one roof — making her an incredible asset to the Kōena team and a provider patients return to again and again.

 

When she's not at the clinic, Lauren is cheering on her 13-year-old son Liam, spending time with family, or heading into the Colorado mountains for skiing, camping, or hiking — because she absolutely practices what she preaches when it comes to taking care of yourself.
