Today we’d like to introduce you to Martha And Camryn Kuchenbuch
Hi Martha and Camryn, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
I’ve always known deep down that I wanted to start my own business. However, for the longest time, I wasn’t sure exactly what that would look like. I had this calling to do something that was meaningful, something that could have a positive impact on people’s lives. And over time, it became clear to me that wellness was the path I was meant to follow.
I’d been a client of wellness services for years, and I could truly feel the difference it made in my own life. The way each service helped me unwind, reset, and gain confidence — I knew there was a deeper power in that. It wasn’t just about physical health; it was about how someone felt walking out of a space, renewed, more at peace, and with a boost of energy. That experience stuck with me, and eventually,, I realized I could create that kind of space for others.
What makes our business even more special is that there is nothing quite like it on the west side of Cincinnati. It felt like the perfect opportunity to bring something unique to the community I love. A place where people could come to nurture their well-being. And beyond the community, I wanted to set an example for my children. I’ve always taught them to pursue their dreams, no matter how big or small, and by following my own dream and opening Refresh Wellness Dent, I could show them that I, too, believe dreams really can come true!
The journey wasn’t exactly smooth from the start, Thankfully, in the beginning stages of this process, I had the help and guidance from a young lady who used to provide these wellness services to me. I was raised by parents who believed in the value of hard work, people who worked tirelessly until they physically couldn’t anymore. That work ethic, that drive to keep going for something bigger, is something I’ve always carried with me. It’s part of what motivated me to take this leap — to create something lasting, something that would not only support my family but also make a difference in others’ lives.
What keeps me going, what gets me through the long days, is seeing the real impact we have on people. When someone walks into our spa, feeling stressed or tired, and leaves with a smile on their face, feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and full of confidence — that is everything. It’s a reminder of why I started this journey in the first place.
And of course, none of this would be possible without the unwavering support of my loving family. My husband, Chris and three beautiful daughters, Alexandra, Camryn and Sophia. My daughter, Camryn is my “wingman”. She’s been an incredible asset not just in running the business for me, as I continue in my lifelong professional career, but in keeping everything moving forward. Her dedication and passion for what we do is something I deeply admire. Watching her step into this role with such grace and commitment is one of the greatest rewards of this journey.
Refresh Wellness Dent is more than just a business to me. It’s a reflection of the values I’ve held dear my entire life — family, hard work, service to others, and following your dreams no matter where they lead.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Starting Refresh Wellness Dent has definitely not been a smooth road, but every challenge along the way has made it all the more rewarding. The journey has been filled with ups and downs, but I wouldn’t change a thing because it’s been a true test of our perseverance and commitment.
One of the biggest hurdles was finding the right location. It took time to find a space that fit our vision and would also be practical for our clients. We were looking for something that was not only affordable but also had the right aesthetic and placement— a welcoming, relaxing environment that made people feel at ease as soon as they walked in. That was harder to find than we initially thought, but when we finally found the right spot, it felt like everything clicked.
Then came the construction. It was an entire process of turning a blank space into something that truly represented our vision. We had to be hands-on and make so many decisions, from the layout to the aesthetic details. There were unexpected setbacks, and we ran into delays, but we worked through them and learned a lot about the logistics of turning a vision into reality. We are beyond thankful for all the help and teams, from construction to electric and more.
Learning how to operate all the machines and mastering the services we offer was another huge challenge. I went from being a client of these services to being the one providing them, and there was a steep learning curve. It took time to get comfortable with the equipment, the techniques, and even how to coordinate everything. There were moments of doubt — moments when I wondered if I was cut out for this — but every time we saw the positive impact on our clients, it pushed me to keep going.
And let’s not forget about money. Starting a business requires a lot of investment, and for a long time, I was balancing this venture with a full-time job. Managing both wasn’t easy. There were days when I felt like I was stretched too thin, working long hours, trying to handle the finances, and coordinating every single detail. But in the back of my mind, I knew this was something worth fighting for.
Once we were able to figure out all the logistics — the location, the construction, the services, and the finances — we began to feel more confident. That’s when it hit me: this path had come to us for a reason. All the struggles, all the challenges, were just part of the process. It was a test of our commitment and our belief in the vision we had. At that point, we knew we had to go through with it, because we were on the right path. It wasn’t easy, but it was worth every step.
Now, looking back, I can say that all those challenges were just stepping stones. They’ve made our business stronger, and they’ve made me more grateful for every success we’ve had. It’s all been part of the journey that has led us to where we are today.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?

Before we go, is there anything else you can share with us?
The one last message I would love to share, is that life’s most important foundations are simple but profound: family, health, faith, kindness, and the power of positive intention. For me, family is the core of everything. They are my constant source of strength and motivation. When everything else feels uncertain, my family reminds me why I do what I do. At the end of the day, it’s the love and support of those closest to us that makes everything worth it.
Next is health — and not just physical health, but the health of our mind and spirit as well. In today’s world, we often focus so much on external success that we forget to prioritize the balance and well-being within ourselves. But without our health, nothing else truly matters. That’s why we’re so passionate about creating a space that encourages people to take care of themselves holistically. Wellness isn’t just about feeling good in your body, but also about finding peace and clarity in your mind. When we nurture ourselves fully, we’re able to show up better for our families, our work, and our communities.
Faith is another pillar that keeps me grounded. It’s about trusting that there’s a bigger plan at work, even when things don’t go the way we expect. Faith gives us the courage to keep moving forward, especially when the road gets tough. It helps me believe that no matter the struggle, there’s purpose in every step, and that the challenges we face are part of a bigger picture.
And then there’s manifestation — the power of focusing on what we want and believing it’s already on its way. I’ve seen the impact of aligning your thoughts and actions with the good you want to bring into your life. It’s not always about instant results, but about the energy you put out into the world. When you believe in the possibilities and stay open to receiving them, good things begin to happen. But manifesting doesn’t stop there. It’s also about being kind. A small act of kindness can shift someone’s entire day or even their entire outlook. We don’t always know what people are going through, but a simple gesture can make a world of difference.
If I could encourage others to live by anything, it would be this: start with your family, make your health a priority, trust in your faith, manifest goodness, and lead with kindness. Life isn’t about chasing perfection — it’s about being present, showing up with love, and trusting that the universe will align with those who live with intention and gratitude. When we live this way, we not only uplift ourselves but also those around us. That’s the legacy I want to build — one that’s rooted in love, positivity, and a deep sense of purpose.
