"Somatics is a way of listening to the body and trusting its wisdom, rather than imposing an external idea of what it should be doing." Thomas Hanna
Who is Stretch Ibiza?
Stretch Ibiza was founded in 2015 by Leah Timmins, a certified trauma informed physical therapist, a practicing yoga instructor and ex professional dancer. Stretch Ibiza bridges the gap between her two worlds of movement and therapy. Leah has 15 years of education and hands on experience. Starting out as a professional dancer, Leah then specialised at university in Somatics (MA) which is the study of the mind and body connection. From her own story of grief she began to explore and utilise these practices to help her through her own traumatic journey. Leah continues to practice dance and yoga and often teaches, hosting workshops and retreats helping those in need of reconnecting with their bodies. Her compassionate approach combines various therapeutic modalities, offering individualised methods to reconnect you with your mind-body, helping you understand that what is in the mind is always in the body, teaching you to recognise and process unexpressed emotion and trauma.
"There is more wisdom in your body than in your deepest philosophy"
What Stretch Ibiza offers:
Bodywork and Physical Therapy
With a deep understanding and knowledgeable practice of body work, Leah identifies patterns and problems with the body through massage, stretching and other practices such as breath work and sound healing, helping to release stored energy and emotion and to reset your nervous system. She aims to connect you back to self, helping you let go of life's heaviness and stresses.
Sessions take place in Leah's bespoke treatment room and generally last around an hour and a half, including a 30 minute consultation. The treatments offer a unique and holistic form of bodywork targeting physical, mental, and emotional stresses stored in the body. They involve a combination of pressure-point stimulation, stretching, and deep tissue techniques, aiming to release stress and tension from the underlying energy system of the body. Sessions are intended to be deeply relaxing and a comforting experience that promotes overall wellbeing, bringing you to your natural state.

Stretching, Movement and Somatic Yoga classes
Somatic yoga is a practice that invites a deepening of the body–mind connection, cultivating self-awareness through movement, presence, and embodied enquiry. Rooted in the Greek word soma — meaning the body as experienced from within — this approach moves beyond performance or posture. Instead, it encourages students to listen, soften, and respond to the body’s subtle intelligence, recognising how sensations, emotions, and thoughts are deeply interconnected.
With a strong foundation in Ashtanga and a further training in Hatha and Yin, Leah brings over twenty years of professional experience in dance and movement into her teaching. Her classes weave together asana, stretching, somatic practices, and mindfulness to create sessions that are both grounding and transformative. Whether supporting stress release, easing physical tension, or guiding students towards deeper self-regulation, somatic yoga with Leah offers a space to return to balance and reconnect with the body’s innate wisdom.
Based in Ibiza, Leah offers drop-in classes, workshops, and private sessions tailored to individual needs. Each practice is designed to meet students where they are, offering tools to support well-being, resilience, and a deeper sense of presence.

Breathwork and Hypnosis
Breathwork, a powerful practice in its own right, becomes transformative when seamlessly integrated with NLP and Hypnosis. This dynamic combination unlocks deeper focus, profound relaxation, and heightened mental clarity. Together, these techniques form an extraordinary framework for personal growth, letting go, and lasting transformation. Dive deeper into transformation with Hypnosis, unlocking the power of your subconscious mind to break through self-limiting beliefs and create lasting, meaningful change. Combining breathwork with hypnosis become force multipliers on each other’s effect. Sessions are 1.5hrs and can be guided online or in person.
Sound Therapy
Sound is one of the most ancient and intuitive forms of healing. Long before words, in the womb there was vibration — a heartbeat, a language that speaks directly to the body, bypassing the thinking mind and touching the deeper layers of our being. In a sound therapy session, we work with frequency and resonance to guide the body, mind, and emotions back into a state of balance and harmony.
Each journey with Leah is unique, created with immersive soundscapes that invite deep rest, recalibrating the nervous system, and easing the weight of stored tension and emotional stress. These vibrations ripple through the body like waves, softening what feels tight, shifting energy that has become stuck, and opening space for greater clarity and flow.
Crystal bowl sound healing is a form of vibrational medicine, not only soothing the system but awakening the possibility of transformation. The purity of these tones resonates at a cellular level, supporting somatic release and offering a bridge into profound states of relaxation and presence. Confirming that sound can act as medicine.
Sound therapy reminds us that we are more than muscle and bone — we are vibration ourselves, intricately connected to the greater fabric of life. In this space with Leah, you are invited to surrender, to listen inwardly, and to experience how sound can guide you into deeper connection, both within and beyond.

How to book:
In Person
Somatic Physical Therapy sessions take place in person, one-on-one in Leah's treatment room; a bespoke calming, comfortable and private space.
Breathwork & Hypnosis sessions are also available from the treatment room for one-on-one sessions or private groups of 2 people. Larger private sessions of up to 15 people are available from the comfort of your own vila or garden. We also have access to some beautiful bespoke spaces in Ibiza available to hire for larger groups.
Yoga & Movement Private sessions are available for individuals or groups of up to 15, with all equipment included. While classes can be held in the treatment space, Leah recommends stepping outside whenever possible — the island offers countless beautiful settings to practise in, from easily reached spots to more hidden, adventurous landscapes.Each session is tailored to meet the needs of those attending. Alongside private work, Leah also holds regular drop-in classes at locations around the island. Get in touch to discover where her next gathering will be.
Sound Therapy sessions are offered in person and can be tailored for individuals or groups of up to twenty, making them suitable for both intimate settings and shared experiences. Each session is an immersive journey into the healing power of sound, designed to bring the body and mind into resonance and rest. For those seeking a more layered practice, sound therapy can also be combined with breathwork and hypnotherapy for emotional release and integration, or with yoga and movement for a grounding, embodied flow before entering the soundscape.

Bundles & Programmes
Bundles can include either In Person Sessions, Online Sessions or a mix of both. They are designed to cater to some of our most frequently asked questions and requirements. They are a great way to get to grips with Somatics and are designed to deliver specific results for specific situations. The Personal Reset Bundle is the perfect way to start the New Year. The Online Activation Bundle can be enjoyed anywhere around the world any time of year and the Trauma Relief Bundle is designed to help those dealing with grief, repressed emotions or more entrenched mind-body issues.
Of course a ‘one size fits all’ solution is not necessarily suitable for every case and so bespoke Personalised Programmes are also available. Each programme begins with a one-on-one meeting (either In Person or Online) where we take the time to understand your unique needs, goals, and preferences. This initial consultation allows us to discuss your health history, current challenges, and aspirations, enabling us to design a program that is specifically tailored to you. By assessing your individual circumstances, we ensure that every aspect of the wellbeing, bodywork, and somatic practices is aligned with your personal journey.
