Martine Dedek
SPRE Education Co-Founder, SPRE Practitioner Trainer

Currently Martine co-teaches the SPRE® Practitioner Training program and offers private coaching for boutique fitness businesses. She no longer has a private SPRE ® Practice.
Martine finds that a long-term SPRE® sessions offers limitless opportunities and potential for change. She finds the non-verbal and energetic attunment of SPRE® to be soothing, and allowed her to stay connected and grounded within herself as the Practitioner. She finds that being with clients requires an honesty, an actual “being with” her client and all the life they’ve brought in to their session, that she values.
A traditional Western educational background and a search for something that truly resonated with her led to the development of SPRE® and a growing practice of studying and including other modalities and ways of working. She draws on the wisdom of many traditions in her practice, as well as the wisdom inherent in her client’s bodies. She strives to create a multi-dimensional way of working with her clients.
Along her journey, Martine founded Studio Evolve | Pilates, Gyrotonic & SPRE Bodywork and partnered with Jill Ableson for the development of the SPRE® Practitioner Training Program. Together they have brought the work to its current evolution as a licensed Somatic Education Training Program and approved WA State Vocational Training Program.
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.
