Join host David Hess on this episode of Rising Above Podcast as he sits down with Courtney Wargo, owner of a health and wellness studio in Bath, MI, where the motto is simple: Self-care is a necessity, not a luxury.

Courtney shares her path into holistic healing, the inspiration behind her wide range of services—from massage, Reiki, and Ashiatsu barefoot massage to reflexology, cupping, gua sha, and couples sessions—and her mission to help clients feel their best inside and out.

The conversation takes a fun turn when Courtney reveals the surprising, life-changing injury she suffered during what was supposed to be a lighthearted VR gaming session. Her story blends humor, resilience, and a powerful reminder that self-care matters more than we think.

Whether you’re curious about alternative therapies or just love hearing inspiring stories with a twist, this episode will leave you motivated to invest in your health—mind, body, and spirit.
