Today we’d like to introduce you to Martine Kalbhenn.
Hi Martine, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I opened The Pilates Studio Kennebunk in April 2022. I started taking Pilates at the age of 12 when k was diagnosed with scoliosis. After graduating college a semester early with a BA in Dance I began my Pilates certification at Long Beach Dance Conditing under Marie José Blom. In June 2007 my mom and I opened our own studio in our hometown of San Mateo, Ca. For 13 years we worked side by side until we decided to move our family to Maine. We closed a few kk the early in March 2020 due to Covid. I worked briefly at another studio in Kennebunk in 2021 before they closed and the opportunity to open my own studio fell into my lap. In July 2023 my then 5 year old son was diagnosed with a rare bone cancer- Ewing Sarcoma- and I had to step away from teaching for 9 months while he underwent aggressive treatment. I’ve been back in the studio teaching since May 2024. I enjoy working with clients of all ages and abilities- from the young child diagnosed with scoliosis to the professional athlete cross training and the every day person wanting to maintain movement and strength. I enjoy that every person has a different story in their body and meet them where they are at in the studio.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Personal life struggles, needing more teachers and more reformers for summer tourist season.
