Kayla, Founder of The Stretch Collective

With over 8 years of hands-on experience in stretch therapy and a background co-owning Australia’s first assisted stretching studios, Kayla has been at the forefront of redefining flexibility in the wellness space.

Her journey from dancer to personal trainer to stretch therapist has given her a unique lens on how the body moves- and how powerful flexibility training can be when done right. Kayla’s approach is both science-backed and deeply intuitive, blending anatomy, biomechanics, and breath work to create lasting change in her clients.

Now, through The Stretch Collective certification, she’s on a mission to pass that knowledge on, equipping the next generation of stretch specialists and therapists with the tools they need to make a real impact.

“Flexibility isn’t just a “nice to have”- it’s a foundation for confident movement. I created this course to give practitioners the confidence, clarity, and skills to lead in this space.”
