Welcome to StretchLab Franklin

With a background in physical therapy and exercise science, I know the value of moving the body to keep it healthy and energized. I believe that if you feel better you move better!, I love how StretchLab works with our members on being intentional with each stretching program to get the most out of your body. My passion is being with people, growing relationships in the community, and building partnerships between StretchLab and our community businesses.

I'm Marla Nichols, originally from Memphis, Tennessee. I earned my Exercise Science degree from Middle Tennessee State University in December 2023. During my time there, I delved into athletic training, supporting the football and basketball teams with rehabilitation efforts. I also honed my skills as a Technician in a Physical Therapy clinic. Outside of academics, dance is my true passion. As a hip-hop dancer and choreographer, I teach children at various dance studios. Joining StretchLab is a natural fit for me because I'm driven by the desire to help people reach their goals and enhance their lives. I'm excited to be part of the StretchLab team and contribute to our clients' well-being.

Hey there, I'm Daniel Robinson. With my passion for fitness and extensive background spanning over 22 years in fitness, exercise science, nutrition, sports training, and kinesiology, I'm dedicated to helping individuals feel their best while reaching their personal goals. I'm thrilled to meet you at your next stretch session and assist you on your journey to improved well-being!

My name is Lana Ali and I was born in Erbil, Iraq, where I was diagnosed with type 1 Diabetes at the age of two. For my wellbeing, my family decided to immigrant to the US in search of a better life. I grew up in Nashville, Tennessee where I found a passion for basketball and was an athlete for most of my life. After high school, I decided to focus more on my career in medicine and stopped playing basketball professionally. I enjoy working out and playing pick up basketball. I am currently studying biology and chemistry at Belmont University and intend to go to medical school after I receive a Bachelors Degree to become an endocrinologist. My desire is to help other kids who are going through the experiences that I recall as a child with diabetes to demonstrate that they can still be happy and healthy with a chronic condition like diabetes. I would like to show others that they are stronger than they perceive themselves to be, all they need is a slight push.

Hi there! I’m Ashley and I’m originally from New York. I earned my BFA in Dance from SUNY Fredonia. While there, I studied kinesiology, anatomy, stretching techniques, nutrition, and wellness. Post-graduation I knew I wanted to help people feel their best and reach their goals. Therefore, I joined StretchLab in 2023 and have been helping my clients reach their mobility and flexibility goals since. I truly love helping people transform their lives through movement.

I look forward to helping people achieve their goals at StretchLab!

Originally from Brazil, I bring a rare blend of academic depth and hands-on intuition that most will never find in a single session. As a former massage therapist, I developed a precise understanding of how the body holds tension and responds — a level of sensitivity that cannot be taught in a certification course. My background in Psychology, my research at Vanderbilt University, and my ongoing Master's in Mental Health Counseling at Belmont University inform every decision I make in the studio — complemented by the rigorous flexologist training at StretchLab, one of the most comprehensive assisted stretching programs in the industry. Here, nothing is rushed. Sessions are designed entirely around you — adjusted in real time with quiet precision and complete presence. You will never feel like an appointment. You will feel like an experience. If you are someone who refuses to settle — you are in the right place.
