I recently took Assisted Stretch Therapy Level 1 with Carolyn and Cian which I have adapted into my own bodywork practice. I have been working as a Traditional Thai massage therapist for over a decade. I am also trained in craniosacral therapy, lomilomi, hot stone and some shiatsu. I loved how similar Stretch Therapy is to Traditional Thai massage and I found I could adapt and understand this new modality rather easily. Even so, although I know a lot about stretch and movement therapy already, I still learned a lot of new information and philosophies from Carolyn and Cian. I normally stretch people on the floor so I really benefited from their course on how to adapt stretches on to a table. It's a course that is great for beginners and practiced facilitators alike. I have since adapted many of their movements both to the floor and table and have had incredible feedback from clients. Not to mention slowing down and feeling even deeper into opening the fascial system. Carolyn and Cian are incredible facilitators. They are relatable, gentle, fun, knowledgeable and encouraging. I look forward to taking Level 2
