FST Practitioner, Level 3

I have worked in multiple modalities of movement for over 29 years. The moment I walked into the FST (fascial stretch therapy) training facility, I knew I needed to bring this amazing work back to Bowling Green. I started offering FST as soon as I returned from my Level 1 training and have not looked back. I completed Level 2 four months later and will be attending Level 3 by the end of the year (2021). The immediate results (often after only one session) of FST have been mind blowing…instant relief from sciatic, low back, hip pain for many clients. If you have not experienced FST, it is a MUST.

FST Practitioner, Level 1
Bowling Green, Kentucky
I have been movement driven for most of my life with an extensive background in professional dance training. Mobility and flexibility have always been a passion of mine, and finding improvement in both of these areas for myself, as well as my students and clients safely over the years has been a priority. Fascial Stretch Therapy does just that in a relaxing, stress free, and mostly passive way, allowing the body to release and lengthen, focusing not on the individual bones and muscles, but the tissue as a connective whole, aka Fascia! After completing my Level 1 Training, I was blown away by the functional changes in mobility I had experienced on my own body as well as those I was working with and wondered, “Where has this been all my life?!” Each body is so unique, and what I love most about FST is that EVERY body can benefit from a session. Whether you are looking to improve your flexibility, focus on specific areas of pain or discomfort, or just want to feel better from head to toe, Fascial Stretch Therapy has been a game changer for me and something I strongly believe is beyond beneficial for everyone, at any stage of life.
Trust me. Sign up for a session and understand first hand what all the hype is about. Your future self will thank you.

FST Practitioner, Level 1

Movement has been a vital part of my life from years of dance and being able to continue optimal flexibility, strength and ease of mobility after that chapter has been very important to me. Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) has allowed me to keep doing the things I love and make them and the experiences I have even better. FST provides a more gentle approach and with long lasting results. So it is true – you can have your cake and eat it, too! The beautiful thing about FST is that it is great for anyone: stay at home parent, accountant, teacher, athlete, artist, bartender… if you move, FST is an ideal fit. I look forward to seeing you and helping you live your best life!
What to Expect:
During an FST session, a certified stretch practitioner moves the client’s body in undulating spiral diagonal patterns known as stretch waves, paired with traction to access the joint capsule, the deepest level of fascia. Breathing is synchronized with stretch waves for greater efficiency and an additional therapeutic effect. This therapy is generally pain-fee, thus allowing your body to be in a fully relaxed state.
Clients stay fully-clothed and passive as the therapist performs the assisted stretches. There is no use of massage oils or creams. Clients will leave a session feeling renewed and relaxed.
We offer FST in 30, 55, or 90 minute sessions. For some clients needing a quick fix, we also offer a 20 minute session.
Note: We recommend arriving 5-10 minutes prior to your first FST session to allow adequate time to prepare for your session. Please wear comfortable clothing that you can move freely in and zero to limited body oils and lotions.
You may feel near instant results and / or release, though it can take time and more than one session to peel away layers of tension / tightness from years of progressive stressors and postural issues and begin to feel lasting improvements.
