mission statement
We believe we exist here for a reason and healing our body and mind is not just a choice, but a responsibility. The future of our planet depends on it. At Holistretch, we are here to help you through this process with superfood nutrition, mindful movement, and meaningful connection. We provide the tools you need to free your body, clear your mind, and reconnect with your soul's mission. As "drops in the ocean", when we heal on the individual level, we are doing powerful work for the human collective, and the planet we can be proud to call home.
philosophy
Your Issues are in your tissues!
Your thoughts and emotions are reflected in your body, and physical changes in your body influence how you think and feel.Â
Now, imagine that every cell in your body holds memories, emotions, and energy—not just around events in your life, but also from the world around you.
Sometimes, upon receiving a bodywork session or engaging in your own Holistretch practice, memories or ideas might come up to be examined. That is the mind-body connection.
Chronic pain and tension and even diseases with no known physical causation could be your body desperately trying to communicate with you! In this way, our pain could be considered a gift - An opportunity to heal something far deeper.

FRANCES EVE NIN
My journey into healing touch began in 2012 during my first Burning Man, where I massaged nearly 50 people as a gift to the community, because I enjoyed helping people feel good in their body. Though untrained at the time, their transformative feedback inspired me to pursue this work professionally. I became certified in Reiki that same year, and pursued other certifications like Lomi-Lomi while attending MITT (Mastery in Transformational Training) to expand my emotional body and mentally free myself.
In high school, I was on the competitive dance team and discovered the value of consistent stretching, but in 2017, I was introduced to Bob Cooley and the Genius of Flexibility (resistance stretching) technique which completely shattered everything I thought I knew about flexibility and strength. Through his program, I discovered deep intimacy between the mind, body and spirit and the powerful effects of resistance flexibility on fascia. I became Level II certified, and found that stretching my massage clients this way yielded far greater results than just massage or passive stretching alone.
As I became a leadership trainer for teens, teaching them to feel their emotions and take responsibility for their thoughts and actions, I simutaneously began attending IPSB (Integrative Psychostructural Bodywork) school in Santa Monica to work towards my license, thus; integrating the development of my own body-mind and helping others to develop their own connections as well.
2020 was when Holistretch was founded. It came with an initiatory understanding that in times where we are unable to connect to one another (ie; during the covid lockdowns), we must learn how to love ourselves on a deeper level. The pandemic was a major crossroads between staying small, stuck in judgement and being a victim to my own life and stepping up into leadership, self love and understanding. This realization led to the creation of the Feel Free Beach Events in 2021, where tears, hugs, and heartfelt connection confirmed the importance of this work and what is possible when we decide to take back our own power.
