How Courtney's health battle inspired her career

According to her website, Courtney's journey into the wellness industry began after a life-altering battle with chronic pain in 2012. After undergoing multiple surgeries and years of physical rehabilitation, she was eventually diagnosed with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, which affects blood vessels near the ribs.

"Simply put, it felt like the muscles in my sides, chest, and throat were tearing me apart." — Courtney Salviolo, via The Uncommon Balance

Following "years of surgeries and rehabilitation," Courtney felt inspired by her own healing journey and became a Certified Holistic Nutritionist at The Energetic Health Institute before obtaining a Personal Training Certification.

Her other professional work

She also has some experience working as a wardrobe stylist, and as co-owner and account manager of Quixotic Design, a female-owned design agency based in California.

Brandon's public comments about Courtney

Brandon has been consistently protective of their relationship. In a 2024 Instagram comment, Sklenar offered insight into why he keeps things with Salviolo low-key:

"I'm a private person and very protective over my home life outside of this world. It's a vulnerable moment knowing the person I love is about to be under the same microscope I am. Especially when their career is very far from this industry."

During an August 2024 interview with Forbes, the It Ends with Us star briefly opened up about Salviolo, noting that despite his busy schedule as an actor, he's a "homebody" and loves to spend time with his partner and dog.
