Reconnecting your mind and body.
What is assisted stretching?
Assisted stretching is a hands-on method for improving mobility and flexibility in which a trained practitioner guides your body through a series of targeted stretches while you remain relaxed.
A body care session at Align With Abigail pairs anatomical knowledge with presence, listening, and responsiveness. Expect an assisted stretch session to sit right between science and intuition, leaving you physically relaxed and emotionally reset.
Come be a part of intentional care that rediscovers what is possible in your body.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes, you can stretch on your own. In fact, I encourage you to do so - often!
However, if you’re here, I would venture to say that this approach has not provided the full results you are desiring.
The beauty of assisted stretching is that there is an accountability buddy, a cheerleader, an educated licensed professional that is working alongside you through the entirety of the process, tailoring each session to ensure you reach your goals and are moving through correct form.
Assisted stretching allows you to be passive, while the stretching professional eases your body into deeper ranges of motion that otherwise wouldn’t be accessible on your own.

Assisted stretching encourages a greater quality of life. We may not be able to increase the amount of years we are given, but we can improve the quality of the years we have.

Tuning-up & Tuning-in
Align With Abigail was born out of a desire to help people build a more informed and sustainable relationship with their body. The power of this practice comes through a one-on-one format, where depth, precision, and individualized growth can flourish.
As a dance artist, I have been processing energy and information through the body my entire life. I have always found joy working in partnership and collaboration to achieve a goal.
For me, caring for the body is a sort of revolution. This is a space where we get to slow down, quiet the mind, and listen to the needs and intelligence of the body. From this state of being, power begins.
Meet Abigail
Assisted Stretch Specialist
Professional Dancer
Mat Pilates Instructor
Franklin Method Educator
Freedom in movement has always been at the center of what it means for me to live well. As a professional dancer with over twenty-two years of training and performance experience, I’ve developed an embodied understanding of flexibility, control, and a keen sense of deep listening to other bodies in space.
My background in somatic work comes through Mat Pilates and the Franklin Method, all of which influence how I approach assisted stretching. As a certified Mat Pilates instructor, I’ve spent years studying alignment, breath, and functional movement patterns. That foundation helps me recognize compensation patterns in the body and guide clients toward more efficient and sustainable ways of moving in their daily lives.
The Franklin Method shapes the way I think about movement from the inside out—combining imagery-based techniques with biomechanics to create a neuromuscular response of ease in the body.
Most recently, I worked as a Flexologist at StretchLab, where I received a certificate in Applied Stretching Theory & Practice. I completed 70 hours of comprehensive education in assisted stretching, flexibility, mobility, movement analysis, and hands-on stretching techniques. I spent a year and a half working with a wide range of clients that sharpened my ability to adapt in real time, meet people where they are, and prioritize both safety for the client and lasting results.
I also enjoy spending time in nature, practicing yoga and meditation, reading and writing poetry, caring for my many plants, and investing in the relationships in my life.
