About Us
We love that you are here to learn more about Our Story!
About Us
We didn’t start out in holistic and functional health. That path found us.
I’m Courtney Kirk, and my husband, Nathan, and I began 2023 like any other year. Then in March 2023, everything changed. Our son, Remington “Remy,” was diagnosed with DIPG, a terminal brain tumor. There were no warning signs. He’d simply fallen at church, we took him to the ER to rule out a concussion, and that scan uncovered the tumor. It was a complete shock.
If you knew Remy, you know why we’re doing this. He was pure joy. All boy. Loved Jesus. Loved his family. Loved every sport. He loved big.
Walking through that diagnosis with him, God kept directing us toward natural and holistic approaches—ways to support the body, reduce symptoms, and improve quality of life. Even though God called Remy home on November 4, 2023, He also showed us that functional and holistic care can make a real difference.
That’s the “why” behind The Root Health & Wellness.
We want to steward what God showed us, honor Remy’s legacy, and make this kind of care available to other families—proactively, not just in crisis.
We’re glad you’re here, and we’d be honored to help you on your wellness journey.
Meet the Practioners
Hi! We are Nathan and Courtney Kirk- husband and wife- and the owners of The Root Health and Wellness. We are the licensed practioners behind each therapy we have to offer. We were called to functional medicine during the journey of fighting for our son's life back in 2023. Although, Gods plan is so much bigger and greater than we can imagine, our boy is in the hands of Jesus now. We believe it is our purpose from God to spread the knowledge that He gave us to all of you, by bringing The Root Health and Wellness, and keeping our son, Remy's legacy alive in everything we do.
To our sweet boy
Remy Parker,
We miss you so much but know you are happy and healed in the arms of Jesus. Even though we want you here with us, we have peace knowing that Jesus is the one taking care of you now. We are SO proud of you, and the legacy you have left behind. You have brought many people to know Jesus to be a part of His Kingdom, and I know your story isn't over yet. Daddy and I promise to continue to share your story to bring more people to His Kingdom and share how incredible and perfect you are. Bubba, Lil, and ChaCha miss you so much too. We love to talk about what you would do if you were still with us. You have taught us so much baby boy, and we all will continue to be REMYSTRONG!
Forever Mommy's baby & Daddy's boy!
Our Mission
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
Proverbs 3:5-6
We believe God designed our bodies to heal if we put them in the right position and we are here to help you do that. Our mission is to get back to the basics, to where God intended us to be. We believe this is our purpose from Jesus Christ and we are excited to be here to do our ministry.
