Welcome to Stretchlab Bedford

I have my Bachelor's in Health Science as well as a Master's degree in Athletic Training. I’ve taken numerous Anatomy and Physiology classes, as well as General Medicine. With over 600 clinical hours and being immersed in the field as an Athletic Trainer for more than a year, I have learned different ways to target specific areas of concern and improve mobility and flexibility. I have been an athlete for as long as I can remember. I ran competitively for a Division 1 college, my races were anywhere from the mile to the 10K. I believe stretching as well as injury prevention are fundamental skills needed to not only do well, but more importantly feel your best. Athlete or not, quality of life is important and I am passionate about helping others feel their best. At Stretchlab anyone is welcome. We all have personal goals but we are also all working towards the same end goal which is overall wellness! When I’m not working, I love spending my time with family and playing with my son, always on the go!

My passion for health and wellness started in high school when I began playing sports. I went from completely sedentary to playing field hockey and track&field all year round. This self growth inspired me to help others reach their full potential too; starting college I enrolled in Exercise Science and graduated with my associates degree as well as an ACE certification in Personal Training. I have been a personal trainer and group fitness instructor since 2017, and a stretch service provider since august of 2021. In my experience the clients who have a stretch routine, perform better during exercise, have less muscle soreness and overall better quality of life. No matter where you’re at in your wellness journey stretchlab is here to get you moving better and feeling better!

I have an Associate’s degree in Health & Fitness as well as personal trainer certifications through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) and the American Council on Exercise (ACE), and a nutrition coach certification through NASM. Having two years of experience as a personal trainer and nutrition coach, it brings me joy to have helped so many clients achieve their health and fitness goals. My passion for fitness began from parental influence at an early age. My parents have always been fit and fond of the active lifestyle. It was only a matter of time before I got into it. As a kid, I went to track & field championships - high jump was my specialty. However, after a tragic accident caused by poor form, I found myself going to the surgery room and saw a lot of physical therapy in my future. I realized that being fit is just part the story; if your body doesn’t move the way it’s intended to, you’re bound to get injured - maybe immediately, maybe decades down the line. Stretching is such an important aspect of fitness, such a useful tool for preventing injuries and improving quality of life, but it is often overlooked. At StretchLab, we combine the latest stretching techniques and top-of-the-line instruments to provide a high-quality service to all our members, and help them achieve their goals as safely and effectively as possible.

I have my Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science and my Master’s degree in Education. I am a hiking enthusiast, coffee lover, and love doing anything that keeps me active. Playing lacrosse in high school is when my passion for fitness really took off. Working on my own self improvement throughout my high school years made me realize that I would love to help other people better themselves moving forward. My 3+ years of experience in college athletics, as well as my background in personal training has reinforced my love for 1-on-1 interactions. Here at StretchLab, my goal is to help people of all ages feel better, move better, and be able to do all the things they love - whether that is playing with their grandkids or competing in a fitness challenge.

Being active has been a huge part of my life. Either playing sports, running around outside as a kid, or even going for a walk after dinner, movement has always played a major role in my life. So much that I wanted to study it while in college. I got the opportunity to attain my Bachelor's degree in Exercise Physiology followed by getting my Master's in Exercise & Sport Science. Throughout my time in school, my eyes were opened at all of the amazing things the human body can do and endure. From lifting over 1,000 pounds (from a dead stop), understanding how our body uses food to create energy, to simply how the body is supposed to move and how stretching can aid with overall movement. No matter your age, StretchLab is here to help you get started on your wellness journey or to help you recover properly for athletic excellence.

I am a nationally certified personal trainer with over 9 years of experience in functional strength and conditioning, orthopedic exercise and nutrition. My aim is to use the knowledge and experience I’ve acquired over the years to help individuals take better care of themselves so they can achieve and maintain a higher quality of life. I am a firm believer in the concept of deep health—the notion that true wellness extends beyond physical appearance - and appreciate any opportunity to support individuals seeking holistic well-being. Combining my qualifications with a personal understanding of the challenges faced by active individuals who may be in their later years or dealing with injury, I am fortunate to be able to assist and guide a broad demographic. I am so excited to be part of StretchLab where I can help people focus on a component of fitness that has the potential to help improve the way they feel, move and perform every day!

I am excited to be joining the stretchlab team working to help people on their fitness and wellness journey! A recent Summa Cum Lade Graduate of Point Park University, I followed my love of dance and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance, with concentrations in Ballet and Modern, as well as a minor in Biology. I am currently dancing with NSquared Contemporary Dance Company and have studied with professional companies such as BalletX, Alonzo Lines, Boston Dance Theater, and Joffrey Ballet. I am a certified Functional and Mat Pilates Instructor, Dance Instructor and Choreographer at various studios around NH and MA, and am the Assistant Coach to the Bedford Bulldogs Adaptive Cheer Team. Aside from fitness education and dance, I am involved in the Miss America Organization and currently hold the title of Miss Winnipesaukee and will be competing for Miss New Hampshire at the end of April! Health, well-being, and injury prevention have been a passion of mine throughout the years and I am excited to make an impact on people’s lives to get them feeling better and able to accomplish their goals!

I started my Wellness journey teaching Group exercise classes over 10 years ago. I am a NASM-CPT and have been able to guide many different populations to and through finding their wellness journey. I am a huge advocate of Mind, Body and Soul wellness and always aim to create programming that includes proper recovery and promotes longevity. When I am not working or in the gym, I enjoy being outside with My dogs. I love to research and experiment with Holistic healing and guidance. I am excited to jump into the StretchLab community & excited to show people how this will benefit their lives.
