Meet Emilia, our newest Pilates teacher!

We’re thrilled to introduce Studio Evolve’s newest Pilates teacher, Emilia Trentham!

Emilia comes to her teaching practice with a foundation in Massage Therapy. Through her training and work as a massage therapist, she has developed a deep understanding of the body and its intricate connections, which she uses to support her Pilates students in building strength and mobility and relieving pain in the bodies.

She especially loves working with folks who are just returning to a movement practice after an injury, illness, or another change in their body or their life.

So many folks in this situation return to exercise with fears about re-injuring themselves, worries about not being able to practice in the same way they used to, or uncertainty about whether they’ll be able to progress.

Emilia has a strong and intuitive ability to guide her students through the process of reconnecting with movement, and helping them feel safe as they build strength and confidence.


There are two ways to work with Emilia:


1. Join her for an Intermediate Reformer Class Tuesday evenings at 5:00 PM - click here to view the schedule and book!

OWNER; SPRE® EDUCATIONAL FOUNDER, PRACTITIONER TRAINER & PRACTITIONER, SHE/HER

Martine enjoys the diverse learning opportunities studio ownership has allowed her. She began her career in the field of movement and bodies as a Pilates Instructor in 1999. Soon after her original Pilates certification, Martine pursued numerous other certifications and sought to bring her client offerings and business acumen to one place in the founding of Studio Evolve, Pilates, Gyrotonic & SPRe® Bodywork.

Along her journey, Martine partnered with Jill Ableson for the development of the SPRe® Practitioner Training Program. Together they have brought the SPRe® Training Curriculum to its current evolution as a licensed Somatic Education Training Program and WA State Vocational Training School.

Working with Martine is both grounding and expansive. She enjoys the practice of energetically, verbally and somatically attuning with and guiding clients. Her use of SPRe® Bodywork, as well as her curiosity and engagement leads to delightful moments of clarity and greater physical comfort for her clients.

Martine feels an essential component to building a strong partnership with her client is a foundation of trust, openness and curiosity. This allows for the safe and supportive exploration of whatever difficult, confusing or conflicting emotional and somatic experiences arise in the journey they take together. Ready to take the first step? Martine is currently seeing SPRe® clients online and in person and looks forward to hearing from you.
