History

Established in 2002.

Maurine thw owner of MidCoast Pilates was introduced to the Pilates Method in 2000 in Portland Maine, by Hope Matthews, a 2^nd generation Romana trained instructor. She was hooked after her first lesson. After a few months of consistent Pilates training, Maurine happily dropped the gym membership and started training to become a Pilates instructor. In the fall of 2001, shortly after beginning her training to become a Pilates Instructor, Maurine was in a serious auto accident. Although she suffered a fractured pelvis, many broken ribs, a punctured lung and internal bleeding and lacerations, she never required surgery and left the hospital a week after the accident! Just after 3 months of rest and recuperation, she was back in the Pilates studio to restart her training with more determination than ever. She attributes her speedy recovery to her consistent Pilates training prior to the accident. «It was just one more reason to share this form of body conditioning.»
