Courtney’s passion for dance began at the age of 3. Having studied jazz, tap, ballet and modern dance, she traveled the country as a competitive dancer and became an award-winning jazz soloist. She is Pilates-certified in Reformer and Mat through Balanced Body University.

After suffering a knee injury, Courtney attended her first Pilates Reformer class and was instantly hooked. “Before long I noticed my body becoming leaner,” she says, “and the movements felt natural to me, with no strain on my joints.” This strong belief in the health benefits of Pilates led Courtney to become a certified instructor and, along with Tina, to open Mindful Movement Pilates in Port Jefferson.

Courtney is a married mom of two beautiful boys and three really cute dogs. She holds a BA in Sociology from Quinnipiac University.
