Hero byline: Rooted in Faith
A Vision That Became a Home
OUR BEGINNING
The Woman Behind the Vision
Kimberley Courtney, B.Sc. Psych., B.A. Soc., C.C.P. (Certified Coach Practitioner), is the founder and Executive Director of Narrow Road Home. Throughout her career, she has worked with and supported many women, men, children and families affected by addiction, domestic violence, self-harm, suicidal crisis, mental illness and other significant life challenges.
Kim’s personal and professional journey toward healing and transformation showed her that women needed more than a clinical recovery experience. They needed a safe place to be vulnerable without judgement, time to understand what lay beneath the crisis and a community grounded in faith, honesty, trust and love.
Her vision was not simply to create another recovery home. It was to build a place where women could heal, restore important relationships and rediscover their God-given worth and purpose. In 2014, that vision became Narrow Road Home.
In 2017, Kim received the Soroptimist International of Calgary Making a Difference for Women Award, recognizing her extraordinary contribution to the lives of women and girls.
A Vision Finds a Home
In 2014, Kim’s vision found its first home in a distinctive 2.5-storey Queen Anne heritage house built in 1909, in the heart of High River, Alberta.
Its warmth and character helped shape the experience Kim wanted to create—a genuine home where women could step away from crisis, feel safe enough to be vulnerable and take the time needed to heal.
As the need for support continued to grow, a second, larger home joined the Narrow Road Home community in June 2017. Together, these homes created more space for women to experience healing, connection and the steady transition toward a healthier life.
