CURIOUS TEAM

Founder and Owner of 2TTS, Inc.,

Courtney Edman, MS, PT, CEIS

Your Ally in Compassionate Curiosity, Transformation and Thriving

Courtney has the professional training, skills, experience and know-how to guide you and your child to a place of calm and connection while also providing each of you with the tools that will lead to understanding, acceptance, awareness, growth, action, and success. Her years of education and professional experience as a pediatric early intervention physical therapist and the executive director of a private home-based pulmonary physical therapy practice combined with her over 22 years of parenting 3 young adult children have fully prepared her to help parents and their neurodivergent children in significant and meaningful ways.

Courtney earned her Bachelor’s degree from Washington and Lee University in 1993 and spent a semester abroad in Freiburg, Germany during her undergraduate years. After spending 6 months in Munich, Germany as a corporate intern and playing in several Bavarian Oom-Pah bands, she went on to complete a Master’s of Science in Physical Therapy at Virginia Commonwealth University in 1997. She received her license as a physical therapist shortly after graduation at VCU and went on to specialize in birth to three year-olds where she coached and empowered parents while supporting the skill development of infants and toddlers with developmental delays and/or disabilities. During that time as a PT in Early Intervention, she became a Certified Early Intervention Specialist (CEIS). Since 2000, she has also provided chest physical therapy to patients with chronic, life-shortening pulmonary disease and from February 2017 until April 2021 she served as the executive director of Chest Physical Therapy Services.

In 2020 she chose to bring her skills, knowledge, experience, and expertise gleaned from over 20 years as a parent, physical therapist, executive director, and lifelong learner to a new career, coaching people with complex learning profiles and their parents. Her struggle to find help for her son at home and in school is what inspired her to become a coach. Not until he was 17 did she learn the term twice-exceptional, which opened the doors for understanding the challenging journey that she and her son had been on and led her to understand the approach needed to support him. Since becoming aware of that term, Courtney has been on a mission to bring awareness and know-how to the world about neurodiversity and the skills, affirmation, and strategies that neurodivergent people need to thrive in the world. In 2022 Courtney decided to pursue this mission by launching her own company, 2tametheshamE, Inc. to provide coaching, education, and advocacy for neurodivergent individuals and their parents.

In addition to 2tametheshamE, Inc. Courtney has also launched the See Me Podcast with host and former journalist, Patty Lubold, that is available on Spotify and Apple. She also serves as a board member for several organizations: the Chris Walsh Center for Families and Educators at Framingham State University and with the Inattentive ADHD Coalition. She is a collaborator with the Office of Learning and Community Engagement at the MA Rehab Commission and was formerly a parent member of the MA DESE Special Education Advisory Council . She is a trained SENG Community Group (SCG) Facilitator , a graduate of the PCTI of MA FCSN , and has been a guest lecturer on the topics of giftedness and twice-exceptionality for undergraduate and graduate student teachers at Framingham State University. Additionally, she has offered webinars and trainings for various community organizations and is a member of SENG, MAGE, CHADD, and NAGC.

Courtney lives in Framingham, MA and has enjoyed the parenting and life adventure with her husband, three kids, and her faithful four-legged walking companion, Baxter. She is conversational in French and German, and when not coaching, she can be found competing on the tennis court, enjoying travel, reading by the ocean, or spending time with family and friends, near and far.

Wendy brings a wealth of knowledge, experience, creativity, and energy to her coaching.

For the past 10 years, she has been coaching parents, children, teens, and adults to better understand their own neurodiversity and utilize their strengths while building new skills to feel successful in various aspects of life.

In addition to her background in special education, Wendy also brings knowledge about sensory processing to her coaching. Like all 2tametheshamE coaches, Wendy prioritizes the relationship with her clients, and brings empathy, encouragement, and accountability to support her clients in the process of transformation and achieving their goals.
