About Us

Hey everyone, I’m Maria, and I’m the founder of Stretch Space. I wanted to share a little bit about how this journey started, because it’s pretty personal to me.

I’m originally from Moscow, and movement has always been a huge part of my life. I spent about 15 years doing martial arts, and that’s where I really learned firsthand how important stretching was. It wasn’t just about athletic performance; it helped me feel good in my body. Then, I got into dancing, and stretching became even more crucial. It felt like this incredibly effective way to feel strong and flexible.

It was through these experiences that I realized stretching wasn’t just for athletes or dancers. It’s really for everyone! I started to feel this desire to share that feeling of freedom and ease with other people.

So, I actually got the chance to work in a stretching studio back in Moscow. It was an incredible experience! I got to see firsthand how much better people felt after a good stretch. People dealing with back pain, people who were really stressed out, people who just wanted to move a little easier – I had the opportunity to help them all. It really opened my eyes to how powerful stretching can be.

When I moved to Miami, I saw this amazing opportunity. I just fell in love with the vibrant energy of the city, and I knew I wanted to bring the benefits of personalized stretching to this community. I wanted to build a place where people could come and genuinely feel good, a place where they could relax and maybe find a little relief from the stresses of everyday life. I really wanted to bring that feeling of freedom and movement to my new home.

At Stretch Space, we really believe in taking care of you as an individual. We take the time to listen to what you need and create a stretching plan that’s just for you. We want you to feel comfortable and relaxed, almost like you’re in a peaceful little escape. We’re all about making stretching a part of your life, not just a one-time thing you do when you’re feeling tight.

Our studio is designed to be a calm and relaxing place. We really wanted to create a space where you can leave your worries at the door and just focus on feeling good in your body.

I really hope you’ll consider coming and trying Stretch Space. I truly believe that stretching can make a real difference in your life, and I would absolutely love to help you discover the benefits for yourself.
