Find your strength. Feel your balance. Shine from within.

Hi, I’m Courtney, and Pilates has been a life-changing part of my journey. After facing breast cancer, movement became my healing — physically, mentally, and
emotionally. Pilates helped me rebuild strength, find balance, and reconnect with myself in a way that truly transformed my outlook on life. 

 

That transformation inspired me to dive deep into training, study the method, and earn my certification so I could share its benefits with others. I've worked with people of all ages and abilities - helping them move better, feel stronger, and discover the confidence that comes from mindful movement.

 

Those experiences inspired me to create Align & Shine Pilates Studio — a space where movement feels empowering, supportive, and joyful. My goal is to help others feel strong and confident in their own bodies, no matter where they are in their wellness journey. I believe in genuine connection, and creating a community that uplifts one
another.

 

I’m married to my best friend, Dave, and we share our home with two sweet
rescue dogs who keep life full of love and laughter. When I'm not teaching, you’ll sometimes find me volunteering with Ellijay Paws in Need, helping to support rescue animals and promote adoption efforts.

 

Align & Shine isn’t just a studio — it’s a reflection of gratitude, resilience, and the belief that we all shine a little brighter when we move with purpose.
