What a Stretch Therapy session involves
A session starts with a conversation about where you feel tight, where you've tried to stretch and not got far, and any injuries or limitations Noémie should know about. You'll lie or sit on the table, fully clothed (loose, comfortable layers help).
Noémie moves your body through supported stretches at your edge, never beyond it. Some breath cues to deepen the work. Hands-on assistance to reach specific areas that are difficult to access on your own. The pace is slow. You stay relaxed; the practitioner does the work.
Most people leave feeling lighter, longer, and noticeably looser in places they didn't realise were locked
What clients say
"I had my 3rd session with Noémie yesterday. I am driving a lot, and stretching gives me more mobility in my hips and de-stresses my neck and shoulders. Everybody should try it!"
"Noémie's stretching technique is incredible. Her communication style is considerate before and during the stretch, allowing adjustments for hypermobility. My body felt super relaxed after the session. Book in, you're in for a treat!"

Some elements are; others need specific adjustments. Send an email at noemie@abuelitas.co.uk before booking your first session if you're pregnant.
Yes, Noémie has experience working with hypermobile bodies. The approach is supported, gentle, and never pushes beyond your structural edge. For EDS, book a 2-hour Integrative Care Assessment with Simona first so we can plan the right approach.
