Today we introduce Debby the final member of our team.

Debby joined Ocean Blue as a member almost two years ago and has now been teaching yoga for us for just over a year. Prior to moving to Maine in 2020, Debby lived in Connecticut and worked as a Neuroscientist at Southern Connecticut State University.

Debby has been involved in teaching yoga for years. Her unique interest has been bringing yoga to a wider range of individuals, including children and adults, who are neuro-diverse. Her skills play well with our members who, for the most part, are a bit older and learning yoga for the first time.

Our members would tell you that Debby has turned them from the yoga reluctant to the yoga enthusiastic. She makes yoga approachable for all kinds of bodies and minds. Her classes are thoughtful and well organized. You leave them feeling better both inside and out.

Debby is married and has two grown daughters that she enjoys spending time with. She has jumped
into volunteering and immersed herself in this community. An avid sea Kayaker, she is often out on the water from early Spring til late Fall. In the colder months she enjoys singing with The Tapestry Singers and St. Patrick's choir.

Today we introduce Annie

It is entirely possible that Annie is actually responsible for the existence of Ocean Blue Pilates and Strength Coaching. Annie and Jessie met when Jessie began attending Annie’s fitness class at the YMCA almost 25 years ago. It was Annie who first suggested that Jessie get certified as a group exercise instructor. This suggestion led Jessie to do just that, and eventually of course much more.

Annie moved back to the area from Maryland 13 years ago, ran into Jessie at a restaurant downtown, and the rest is history. Annie has been at Ocean Blue coaching ever since. She brought with her a love of barre Pilates which was quickly added to the offerings and remains part of our schedule today.

After many years of coaching clients at the gym, Annie transitioned to a full time job working for Kieve-Wavus. Fortunately, she has continued to teach Pilates Barre class once a week on Thursday evenings. Our members would tell you that Annie is a skilled instructor with a playful sense of humor.

Annie lives in Nobleboro with her husband Charlie. She has two grown children whom she adores and a large extended family. She is a gifted flower arranger and decorator. She loves getting outdoors and walking with friends and really anything and everything fitness.

If you have an opportunity to take Annie’s class I highly encourage you to do so. She is an incredible example of the art of teaching. Her experience shines through: her classes are cohesive, challenging and well designed. She’s got it all.

Continuing staff introductions with coach KEEGAN on his birthday of all days!

Keegan grew up hanging around at the gym with his mom and developed an early love for not only working out but also the community at the gym. He spent summers and school vacations learning the ropes and working as an assistant coach.

During his college years, he ventured to the Washington DC area and worked as a Personal Trainer at Equinox. While he enjoyed the opportunity to further his education as a trainer he quickly learned that atmosphere in a gym is everything and he much preferred the one at Ocean Blue.

Keegan completed his degree in economics at UMO in in 2021. He then immersed himself in his Pilates education while working at Ocean Blue. He recently completed his STOTT Pilates certification in both beginner-advanced Reformer and Mat. He works full time coaching and managing Ocean Blue and has recently officially become co-owner.

Our members would tell you that Keegan is both a gifted people person and coach. His style is universally appealing and he brings out the best in those he coaches. He has a great eye and his coaching cues are uniquely well suited to the person he is working with.

Keegan lives with his girlfriend Allyson and their adorable cat Chowder in New Harbor. He enjoys hiking year round and getting out on the water in the summer. He is also an avid cook and loves exploring new restaurants. Many a food conversation can be overheard during Keegan’s coaching sessions.
