About Me
I LOVE stretching people!
I LOVE helping people feel better, recover faster and ultimately move better thus improving all aspects of their life. With almost 30 years in the health and fitness industry, multiple training certifications, and a masters degree in Exercise Physiology, my goal is to help you get healthy and move better...pain free! I have personally needed this type of assistance with my own body as I not only have scoliosis, but also have degenerative disc disease which has lead to some painful periods in my life where I was desperate to find the solution. The solution has been found in the soft tissue of my body. I discovered that managing the health of my tissue has been the most important part. I spent years learning core/mobility training that has not only helped me, but countless others. I learned that many of my "issues" were locked in the fascia of my body and that began the journey to managing my body through a more comprehensive approach. Now I try to help others do the same thing! You and I will become partners in healing process, and you will become empowered with a new knowledge and strategy on how to help your body become or remain mobile, supple and healthy. I help athletes and adults move better and recover more quickly. Others come for pain relief...tight muscles and stiff joints.
Let me unlock your body's potential that may be stuck in your fascia!

What is Fascial Stretch Therapy?
Fascial Stretch Therapy is the gold standard to assisted stretching and is performed by a certified Fascial Stretch Therapy practitioner. FST is a pain free modality that can improve mobility, increase range of motion, relieve pain, and decompress joints. It is also popular amongst athletes as it improves athletic performance and can speed up recovery. Not only does it help your body move better, but decrease both physical and/or emotional stress by down-regulating the nervous system, which improves state of stress, circulation, and will improve quality of sleep. You will feel relaxed when you leave.
The stretch session takes place on a massage treatment table where you are fully clothed. Comfortable straps are used to stabilize a part of the body (a leg) while other areas are being mobilized and stretched. FST method combines waves of movement, traction and PNF (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation) while working through joint capsules. This technique allows the body and tissue to remain relaxed while targeting multiple fascial (connective tissue) lines that follow our movement patterns throughout the body. This often results in an efficient and effective stretch session. More areas of the body can be covered with optimal results. It's efficient and effective.
It's hard to stretch yourself and get the relief you are after. Let me help you get relief and feel better!
Stretching our muscles is great, BUT stretching
through the joint capsule and fascia is a game changer!

What People Are Saying...
"As a professional athlete coming off an injury, I added FST to my training regimen and felt the difference immediately. I feel lighter, and my joints feel more mobile on all fronts. There is definitely a difference in my shoulder and hip mobility. FST is a great option for high level athletes seeking to recover faster from the daily grind of their sport.”
Connor J, Pitcher, MLB
"Equestrian athletes are used to enduring intense physical demands both in and out of the saddle. Fascial stretch with Kisa has been a vital part of my conditioning and recovery routine. It allows me to get back on my feet, and back in the saddle, feeling stronger and better than before. She really wants to help you and knows what's she's doing! I was thrown from a horse recently, fell hard and felt horrible. One session and she got everything in my back to stop guarding, and settle down. She even came to the farm and stretched me right there!"
Caroline M, Equestrian Athlete/Trainer
"FST relaxes me. My back feels great. I feel like I have space in my joints and I'm more relaxed. It also doesn't hurt to drive on long distances which is a major improvement." Phillip F, 58
"Kisa and I have been working together once a week for the past several months, and I could not be more pleased with the results. In my opinion the greatest benefit of FST is not the relaxation one feels at the end of a session (although that is certainly the case), it's the fact that over time I've learned to recognize when and where I have tension in my body, and can then take steps to release it. I feel better overall, my workouts are more effective, and I am more in tune with my physical self. This is a process, not a "one and done" - commit to spending some time on it and you'll be glad you did!” Donna M, 60
“I first heard about FST from a mentor of mine in the strength and conditioning community. He became FST certified so that he could stretch his NFL players. It became so popular he couldn't keep up with the demand and brought in someone else to lighten the load. Until working with Kisa, I hadn't experienced it for myself, and after a couple of sessions I was hooked. I try to get in at least every two weeks to keep myself moving and performing well. I've done other recovery methods that kind of "wash off" as soon as I'm done performing them. The mobility improvements with this method have stuck around very well. I also believe that the recovery that comes from an hour of guided stretching with someone that understands the way an athlete should move is invaluable. The best way to make progress as a lifter is to keep lifting, the best way to keep lifting is to stay healthy, the best way to stay healthy is to notice issues before they become an injury. I think FST with Kisa is a reliable way to do that, and I'll recommend it to all of the athletes and lifters I talk to.” Corey D, Coreblend Owner
