6.6.2026 Fitness Dance Fusion - Main Presenter : Stretch Therapy
Wai Kuan is a dedicated movement educator and Stretch Therapy practitioner with a rich and diverse professional background spanning wellness, finance, and education. Her journey into movement therapy began through yoga, where she earned a 500-hour Yoga Teacher Certification, operated her own home studio, taught at multinational corporations, and served as a regular relief teacher at the renowned Manasa Yoga. Despite her success in yoga teaching, she felt there was still more to discover in helping both herself and her students achieve lasting pain relief and functional movement.
Driven by her personal search to overcome neck and back pain, as well as Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS), Wai Kuan explored deeper therapeutic movement practices. In 2015, she attended a workshop conducted by Kit Laughlin, founder of Stretch Therapy, which became a turning point in her journey. Inspired by the effectiveness of the method, she spent the following two years intensively studying Kit Laughlin’s books and educational materials while corresponding directly with him to deepen her understanding.
Her dedication and commitment eventually led to her acceptance as a Laughlin apprentice, where she was also awarded a scholarship to attend the prestigious Teachers’ Intensive Course in Australia. Through Stretch Therapy, Wai Kuan found a practical and sustainable approach to improving mobility, flexibility, strength, and pain-free movement — knowledge she now shares with others.
Before entering the wellness industry, Wai Kuan built a successful career of more than 20 years in financial services, working as an auditor, financial controller, and investment banker. She also managed a translation business and is a UK-trained Chartered Accountant, bringing analytical precision and professionalism into her teaching approach.
In addition to Stretch Therapy, Wai Kuan also practises Taiji and Qi Gong, integrating mindful movement, breath, and body awareness into her holistic philosophy of health and wellbeing.
