Cortney
Hi, I’m Cortney! I am a full-time trainer and comedian! I am passionate about education and making people laugh.

Ashley
Hi, I’m Ashley! I am Cortney’s sister-in-law, married to her twin brother Chris. I have two girls, Lucy and Stella, and we live in Kansas City, Missouri. Prior to becoming a stay-at-home-mom, I spent 12 years in the public relations industry, working for multiple PR agencies and the communications departments of The Omaha World-Herald and Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools. In my spare time, I enjoy exercising, making French macarons or binge-watching the latest drama on Netflix.
If you are looking to host a CPR/First Aid/AED class or in need of certification in the Kansas City area please feel free to reach me at: ashleymfranks@gmail.com or 763-218-9600.

Debbie
Hi, I’m Debbie! I am Cortney’s mother and her assistant. You can often find me helping out at her trainings; passing out papers, writing receipts, handing out candy, putting together and cleaning manakins, and pretty much anything else that comes up! I retired a couple years back from the Creighton Dental Clinic. Cortney and I are very close and I enjoy helping her out and meeting new faces at all the trainings. If you see me around at one of the trainings don’t hesitate to ask for help; I am a great listener and love to chat! See you soon!
