Bebeca | Founder of UFlex

You can call me Maria. Or you can call me by my nickname, Bebeca! I was born in Brazil, and our names are a little different than here in the US where I currently live and serve as a flexibility strength coach. I developed the UFlex Method with a partner who still trains and practices our proprietary proven methods in Brazil, opening up the tight joints of the body and “creating space.” When I came here to the US with my husband and son, I began to work with athletes and friends who were experiencing tightness. One or two small classes has now grown into a community of people regaining their mobility. I love to reveal and release the causes and connections that keep us from living our best, most active life!

Active Stretch Coaching

I work with groups of people, following a flow specifically designed for specific parts of the body. During the session, I make small adjustments or I correct alignments that are impossible for you to see from your vantage point. These sessions not only make an instant difference, they also train you into the proper form and flow so that you can practice and stay stretched between our time together. I enjoy working with people of all ages and abilities!

Passive Stretch Releasing

I work with the facia and the joints during a single person session to release your body’s energy without resistance. In these sessions we can find the tightness and triggered releases that may be holding your flexibility back.

Spinal Mobility Adjusting

I’m excited about this new accreditation and the expanded courses I can bring with the techniques that apply specifically to the spine and the nerves that run within the vertebrae. So much of our sciatic nerve pain can be relieved through the decompression and realignment of the spine. In my courses and with this technique we will not attempt any abrupt adjustments or chiropractic realignments, but we will create space to relieve pain and allow for the muscles, joints and facia to all work toward recovery and improved mobility.
