About Assisted Stretching

Sara has been a trained practitioner of assisted stretching since 2017, alongside 15 years of experience as a professional, qualified group fitness instructor and personal trainer. Sara later trained as a physical therapist technician leading her to the world of assisted stretching and becoming stretch therapist. Starting her journey as a Flexologist (stretch therapist) in Sydney Australia, Sara was the manager and studio franchise trainer of the first stretch studio in the country. Her expertise as a trainer of Flexology led her across Australia and as far as Saudi Arabia to train other flexologists and open additional franchises of the stretch studio. In 2019, Sara moved to Barcelona, bringing with her expertise of assisted stretching and establishing the practise within Spain where it previously had not existed. Five years on, in October 2024, Sara opened the Stretch Eden studio space to share this innovative therpuetic practise in a calm and welcoming enivronment.

Andrea is passionate about holistic fitness and overall wellbeing, and deeply understands how physical health can profoundly influence mental clarity. She began her career as a personal trainer, supporting clients to achieve pain-free movement, improve posture, build strength, and find lasting relief from chronic issues such as back pain. Now, as a stretch therapist, she is dedicated to helping individuals unlock greater freedom of movement and experience the grounded, uplifting feeling of being at ease in their bodies. She loves witnessing both the immediate relief clients feel after a stretch session and the long-term improvements that build over multiple visits. Outside of the studio, Andrea is continually deepening her knowledge of the body. She has a particular fascination with Biomechanics, Nutrition, and the Gut Microbiome, and how these systems work together to shape overall health. In her free time, Andrea enjoys getting creative in the kitchen, crafting delicious, protein-rich desserts as a playful way to combine her love of nutrition with culinary artistry.
