Meet Carrie Collins

Your Guide to Transformative Stretching

Ki-Hara Master Trainer and Certification Instructor Carrie Collins

Hi, I'm Carrie Collins, a certified resistance stretching instructor and founder of Stretch Chi. I'm passionate about helping people unlock their full potential and achieve optimal health and wellness through the transformative power of resistance stretching. My journey to becoming a resistance stretching instructor began when I was searching for ways to heal my own body of chronic pain and limited mobility due to years as a classical pianist. I discovered resistance stretching and was amazed at how quickly and effectively it helped me regain my strength, flexibility, and vitality. Since then, I've dedicated my life to sharing this incredible technique with others. As an instructor, I strive to create a supportive and nurturing environment where students feel empowered to explore their bodies and reach new levels of physical and mental wellbeing. Whether you're an athlete, a weekend warrior, or simply someone who wants to feel better in their own skin, I believe that resistance stretching can help you achieve your goals and live your best life.
