About the Owners

 

Chris Devers - Managing Partner

 

      "My goal in creating CORE Mind & Body is to provide a community oriented environment that will maximize the health and wellness of its members. Our environment is unique. We have created a modern, open facility that is equipped to meet the needs of our diversified clientele."

      As an active individual, Pilates has become a natural fit for my life-style. Pilates has helped me increase my overall athletic performance by strengthening my core, increasing my range of motion and developing a focused mind/body connection. I feel fortunate to be able to bring this practice to you.

      Chris has completed course work at Pilates Academy International, in N.Y. City in "Anatomy and Biomechanics" and "All Populations Mat","All Populations Reformer" and "All Populations Cadillac."

 

Michelle Gaudette - Director

 

      Michelle's career began working as an entertainer for Jean Ann Ryan Productions on various cruise ships touring the world. During her time abroad she had the chance to perform at Tokyo Disneyland, "Legends in Concert" in Berlin, Germany, several shows in Las Vegas, the national tour of "Will Rogers Follies" and for Queen Elizabeth II. Miss Gaudette was a 9 year member of the Radio City Rockettes in NYC, including being one of the teaching artists for the nationally acclaimed "Rockette Experience." You can also see Michelle working as a choreographer for Walnut Street Theatre in Philadelphia. She was nominated for a Barrymore Award for Best Choreographer for the show "Carousel."

      During her time with the Rockettes she was introduced to STOTT PILATES®. Michelle enjoyed how Pilates helped to keep her body strong and healthy for her performing career that she decided to become a fully certified instructor for STOTT PILATES®. Once she became certified and started working with different clients Michelle found that she was able to help other people connect with their bodies and work through injuries which have now become a passion of hers. In the past year Michelle has added to her certifications with becoming a Certified Pre/Post Natal Exercise Specialist, Certified Post-Rehabilitative Breast Cancer Exercise Specialist, a Certified CARDIOLATES® Instructor and completed the Functional Anatomy for Movement and Injuries Workshop at Mt. Sinai Medical Center in NYC. Bringing a healthy open Pilates and Fitness atmosphere to the community has been a dream of Michelle's and she is looking forward to sharing her knowledge with you.
