What People Are Saying
“From a dance perspective, Kinstrech® is an incredible tool to pinpoint imbalances in the body and have specific tools to increase mobility in exactly the joints that need it! I've also found that applying CARS to my warm ups increases my improvisational range and improves balance. The specificity is fascinating, and the community of a group class is extremely helpful for such detailed and focused work. Laura's encouragement helps you go the extra mile or the extra minute, and her enthusiasm is contagious!”

“I used to hate working out. But with Laura it’s a different story. I enjoy seeing her weekly - every workout is different. Never the same. Never boring. Always challenging, sometimes mind bending, but always for the betterment of the body and mind. So thankful to be under her spell ☺".
— Dana E.
“Laura is amazing. She has transformed my body and helped me feel happier and more confident. I took Laura’s classes for years and, more recently, have been working with her in weekly private conditioning and aerial sessions. She puts an incredible amount of time and effort into planning each session specifically tailored to my body, and brings so much positive and inspiring energy every day. I am stronger and more flexible than I ever thought I could be, and her training has improved my day to day movement more than I could have imagined. I am so grateful to get to work with a trainer as smart, inspiring, thoughtful, and fun as Laura.”
— Michelle T.
“I’m loving working on flexibility and mobility in Laura’s kinstretch® class! It’s so encouraging because you start to see results quickly, and we work in a way that avoids risking injury. I’m also really grateful for Laura’s knowledge about anatomy and joints, which has helped a ton in aerial fabric and in everyday life!
— Chris F.
“Laura is extremely knowledgeable, passionate and fun to work with. Her energy is contagious, which makes each session very productive and enjoyable. For years I've dealt with very limited joint mobility and flexibility. Laura has been extremely patient and precise about targeting my weaknesses and creatively designing solutions. Highly recommended for people of all levels!.”
— Nate L.
“Laura introducing Kinstretch® into my regular movement and strengthening has been hugely impactful for me and I can see the difference in my body. As an aerialist, I need space, mobility, flexibility, and strength in so many parts of my body. I have specifically been working towards better mobility in my shoulders. I have made exponentially more progress in the last 6 months of doing Kinstretch® with Laura than I made in the first 3 years of doing aerial. And my shoulders are not the only place I have noticed significant improvement in my mobility. And Laura is an amazing teacher. She is so in tune with the body, curious and creative in finding unique ways to work the joints in your body, and has the energy you need to keep going even when it gets hard. “

“Laura came into my life when my usual Pilates instructor went out on maternity leave. I am so happy that I have had this opportunity to approach movement training from a different angle. While it seems bizarre that moving a body part 1” would make me feel muscles I have never felt before (or knew existed), Functional Range Conditioning® has made enormous changes in my flexibility and movement. While I joke that Laura obviously enjoys putting me in awkward positions, I would gladly keep doing it to continue to feel this good in my body. I get such a rush watching Laura demonstrate something that I think there will be no way my body is capable of repeating and then doing it. I may not look as graceful, but has also helped build confidence and trust in my body… something that I think most people could benefit from.”

“Kinstretch® is a completely new way of looking at movement for me! I love focusing on one joint and how it moves. I love finding my range and then working to expand it. As someone who always has injury prevention on their mind, Kinstretch is an amazing way to approach movement! My body feels like it moves smoother with fewer cracks and pops after a Kinstretch® class. I also love learning how to engage the correct muscles, so that I don’t compensate and cause imbalances.

“I'm so thankful to Laura for introducing me to FRC® and Kinstretch®. She has completely changed the way I think about movement and my relationship with my body. I have struggled with low back and hip issues for years and have tried just about everything to assess the root causes and create lasting change, but to no avail. My low back/hips were flaring every few weeks - no matter what I did or didn't do. I started training with Laura 6 months ago and have not had a major flair up since! I'm noticing huge improvements in aerial, ballet, and general movement, even after time away from all these activities due to the pandemic. I've regained a sense of confidence in training with the tools I've learned from Laura. I truly believe that every body can benefit from this work!”

“Laura teaching style embodies the Kinstretch® approach: she's deeply informed in her knowledge of kinesiology and systematic with her isometric exercises, yet flexible with the individual needs of her class participants. In her class leadership she balances clear demonstrations and motivational modeling with supportive suggestions and responsive interventions. Her dedication to encouraging the integration of Kinstretch® exercises into daily practice is demonstrated by the generosity with which she shares her online guidance materials. Best of all, she keeps the mood light, the flow brisk, and the effort fun!
— Philip P.
“Kinstretch® for beginners is a gentle, yet pointed set of exercises and movement for the body that has helped me understand my previous ‘limitations’. My body feels strong and ready for more movement after attending Kinstretch®. I've known Laura for many years - she is an incredibly fun, knowledgeable and supportive instructor - no matter what she is teaching. She shows up to each session with enthusiasm and excitement to teach and support. I especially appreciate her fun, joyful energy when things are feeling hard. Her teaching style also allows for easy understanding and absorption of new material. I trust her fully; She is my favorite instructor to work with!”
