The Parcours Method
Precision first. Strength follows.
Rooted in classical Pilates and refined through modern athletic training, the method focuses on building deep strength, balance, and control through precise, intentional movement.
Precision
Rooted in classical Pilates.
Every exercise has a shape, an order, and a reason. We work on control before we work on load - which is what makes the strength stick.
Strength
Refined through modern athletic training.
Low-impact doesn't mean low-effort. Sessions build real, usable strength that shows up in your other training and in ordinary days.
Longevity
Built around your history.
Old injuries, current limitations, and the things you want to still be doing in twenty years shape the programming from session one.

In their words
Client stories.
“She trained around my shoulder injury”
I originally started working with Courtney at Equinox and ended up following her to her own studio because honestly, I didn't want to work with anyone else. She's been a huge part of my fitness journey and every session feels really tailored to me, my goals, and compliments my other workouts perfectly. One thing I've appreciated a lot is how she's helped me work through a shoulder injury. She's been really thoughtful about building workouts around it in a way that challenged me while still helping me strengthen and recover it properly. She also has a great way of pushing you past your limits without making it feel forced or overwhelming. On top of that, she's just super easy to work with and somehow always finds a way to fit me into her schedule, even on short notice. I couldn't recommend her more.
“Stronger than a decade of weightlifting”
Courtney is a top-tier instructor with an incredible amount of energy, passion, and knowledge. She methodically helped me reach a whole new fitness level, constantly encouraging me to push my limits. The results have been absolutely incredible - I'm stronger, more balanced, and more toned now than I was after a decade of traditional weightlifting. I highly recommend her!
“She made me love Pilates”
Courtney is incredible if you want a truly custom-tailored Pilates workout. I was such a newbie and she has made me love Pilates and enjoy our time each week! She's a great teacher and overall sweet human. I would (and have) recommend!
