Flavia Batistel

Stretch Therapist, Yoga Instructor, Swedish Massage

One of my passions is promoting wellness during my appointments. My journey began with yoga, which I started practicing in 2012. Through yoga, I realized how our body language is suppressed and how we are not taught to listen to ourselves. We should know when to stop, when to push ourselves, when to rest, when to go. Listening to our body is a practice that has been lost but is now growing worldwide.

When I decided to become part of this work, not just receiving knowledge but sharing it, everything happened very quickly. At the beginning of 2021, I completed my first yoga teacher training. Immediately after, I started offering online yoga classes during the second lockdown, feeling that people needed a nurturing space. By the end of that same year, I began working as a Stretch Therapist, a role I held for 2.5 years.

During that time, I helped people achieve their body goals, improve posture, become more flexible, and feel more relaxed. I also started performing light massages on my clients, which enlightened me on the need to utilize my entire skill set and pursue my massage therapist qualification.

I joined Cocoon to share this passion and journey with you. Here I can integrate all my knowledge offering the following sessions:

Stretch Therapy

Stretch therapy, also known as assisted stretching or active isolated stretching, involves a series of controlled movements and stretches performed with the assistance of a trained therapist. The therapist helps the client move through various stretches, often targeting specific muscle groups or areas of tension. Stretch therapy can help increase flexibility, improve range of motion, alleviate muscle tightness, and enhance athletic performance. It can be beneficial for individuals recovering from injuries, looking to improve their flexibility, or seeking relief from chronic pain.

Stretch Massage Therapy

Stretch Massage Therapy: Yoga stretch massage combines elements of traditional massage therapy with yoga-inspired stretches. During a yoga stretch massage session, the therapist incorporates gentle massage techniques along with assisted stretching movements derived from yoga poses. The goal is to release tension, improve flexibility, and promote relaxation throughout the body. Yoga stretch massage sessions often focus on holistic well-being, integrating breathwork and mindfulness practices to enhance the overall experience. This modality can be particularly beneficial for reducing stress, promoting relaxation, and improving flexibility and mobility.

Both stretch therapy and yoga stretch massage offer holistic approaches to wellness, addressing not only physical tension but also promoting relaxation and mental clarity. Each session is typically tailored to the individual needs and goals of the client, providing a personalized experience that supports overall health and vitality.
