— The Founder—
Hi, I’m Courtney.
This isn’t just a business - it’s personal.
I started Lotus Wellness Travel, a boutique physician-founded travel advisory because I believe safety, dignity, and beautiful experiences can exist in the same itinerary.
As a cancer survivor and physician, I understand the “what ifs” of travel both professionally and personally. I’ve traveled after brain surgery and navigated unexpected health scares far from home - hospitalized in Thailand, stranded in another state, navigated rabies exposure after a close call with a very cute dog in Nepal. Yes, I always pet the stray dogs…No, I do not medically recommend this!
My experiences shape how I plan trips for others.
I love to plan trips- to make itineraries, meticulously research costs, read endless hotel reviews, and curate experiences to make people smile. I want to do this for others too!

Physician, Cancer Survivor, Travel Advisor
A Physician-Founded Travel Advisor for Thoughtful Travelers
Lotus Wellness Travel combines expert planning, thoughtful accessibility, and wellness-inspired travel for anyone who values comfort, ease, and peace of mind. With a unique perspective as both physician and patient, I bring an added layer of insight into travel logistics, medical care away from home, accessibility, and making room for rest—so you can focus on enjoying the journey.

—The Advisor Advantage—
You pay the same. You travel with MORE.
Using a travel advisor doesn’t cost more—often, it gets you more.
Through preferred partnerships with 5,000+ hotels worldwide—from boutique stays to luxury wellness retreats—I advocate for you at no additional cost.
Hotels pay advisors a direct commission, just as they would to any large booking platform. With advisors, this commission is smaller, saving hotels money they can pass along to you as perks. For more extensive travel planning, a planning fee applies, but you pay the same room rate (or less).
Travel with more care and benefits, less worry.
— What I Can Often Secure for You:
Complimentary, daily breakfast
Room upgrade priority
$100+ resort, spa, and dining credits
Early check in and late check out
Personalized services arranged in advance
Accessibility requests or medical concerns - contingency plans in place before your trip
Specialized reservation and concierge service
