The Natural Fertility Pathway

The Holistic Collaborative was founded by Dr. Kourtney Sims as a cooperative group of healers, physicians, nurse practitioners, therapists and coaches for the purpose of expanding the holistic care paradigm. The Holistic Collaborative offers one on one coaching programs focused on women's functional health and wellness in addition to online self study programs for those who chose to work at their own pace. The goal of the Holistic Collaborative is to educate and empower women everywhere as to the power that each body harnesses to correct, balance itself and heal from disease.

This course was developed by Dr. Kourtney Sims M.D., N.C.M.P., F.A.C.O.G.

A Note From Our Founder Dr. Kourtney:

I have had education in multiple disciplines in addition to my traditional Ob/Gyn background that has opened my perspective on the difference between disease "maintenance" (which unfortunately is most often delivered in the traditional medical model) and true wellness. After opening my private practice over a decade ago I pursued my national certification as a menopause specialist which opened my eyes more about the range of hormonal dysfunction that can occur in women. From that understanding I described to pursue additional training in plant based nutrition through T. Colin Campbell. After that I dug deeper by receiving education in Ayurveda in the Integrative Ayurveda Health Professionals Program at the Maharishi Ayurveda Institute which broaden my herbal knowledge. I pursued this interest more in the Foundations of Herbal Medicine course from Dr Tieraona Low Dog M.D. After all of this education I had a very good grasp in integrative and holistic health and decide to develop further skills in discovering how to approach disease patterns from a root cause approach with training from The Institute of Functional Medicine. Currently I am a member of various organizations including the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, North American Menopause Society, Texas Medical Association, The American Herbalist Guild and the Institute of Functional Medicine. It is this background that allows me to fully embrace the perspective that true wellness naturally develops as a result of living a life that optimizes the best of ancient holistic traditions including those from the Ayurvedic, Eastern, and Herbal medical traditions as well as Western medical principles and knowledge. It is from this place that I believe that health is truly optimized. It is here that I have found that even some of the most challenging chronic disease states will respond. It is with the mission of fundamentally changing health that this course was developed to share this knowledge with you.
