Welcome! I’m Kimberly Sheridan Owen, a Fascial Stretch Therapist. Stretch Therapy helps to increase flexibility, relieve pain, improve blood flow, boost athletic performance, and relieve stress and tension.
WHAT'S FASCIA AND STRETCH THERAPY?
Fascia is the connective tissue surrounding your muscles, bones, and organs. It becomes stiffer and denser along lines of repetitive stress or strain, including long bouts of non-movement like sitting. Fascial Stretch Therapy is dynamic assisted stretching and uses circular spiraling patterns to calm your nervous system and ease you into further flexibility with no pain. You relax and breathe; I do the work. You'll experience decompression, a greater range of motion, and you may feel spacious, lighter, and like you’re floating afterward. ☺️
MORE ABOUT ME:
After many years in New Jersey, New York City, Los Angeles, and Spokane, Washington, in the USA, I’m now located in Miramar/Wellington, New Zealand. I've been in the fitness and wellness industry since 2005 and started my journey in New York as a personal trainer. I always loved stretching my clients and I ended up working at the first Stretch Lab in Venice Beach - Now it's a growing global company.
I then discovered Fascial Stretch Therapy in Los Angeles and instantly fell in love with the modality; It helped relieve stiffness and pain from my bulging disc and sciatica. I promptly got certified, and I've been doing this form of assisted stretching for 8 years. I worked at Simply Stretch LA alongside the lovely Lindsay who had helped me with FST. Also, I taught Stretch and Roll - a foam rolling, myofascial release, and stretching class - at various locations around Los Angeles. In my last city, Spokane, I was thrilled to be the Stretch Therapist for the Eastern Washington University football team for the 2018-2021 seasons.
Additionally, I have a degree in illustration, a master's in creative nonfiction writing, and am an arts, tattoo, and DIY enthusiast. I look forward to meeting and working with you; I want you to feel your best, move with ease, and be pain-free! 🖤
