Ashlyn Bartlebaugh is one of the very first Flexologists at StretchLab Collegeville! She has a background in massage therapy and physical therapy assisting, so she’s very familiar with muscles and how the human body works. Ashlyn specializes in athletic rehabilitation, and loves the concept of incorporating StretchLab into her fitness routine and career.

Syanne Morton has been an ACE certified personal trainer for over two years. She has a Bachelor’s degree in Health Behavior science and a minor in Strength and Conditioning from the University of Delaware. Syanne specializes mainly in corrective exercise, identifying and fixing muscle imbalances that may also contribute to any pain or discomfort a person may be feeling. She enjoys doing bodyweight workouts, going for long walks, spending time with friends and family as well as playing with her dog, Louie. Syanne loves that StretchLab is a place that really allows her to help people on a deeper level than personal training. Rather than just telling people to stretch and spending limited time on it during training sessions, she can now fully assess a person’s tight spots, spend a lot more time on stretching and overall improve their quality of life.

Jennifer Matkin has been training in classical Pilates for nearly three years, after an auto-immune disease caused her to lose the use of her right arm. Her doctors recommended Pilates for recovery and she fell in love with it and decided it was something she wanted to teach others. Jennifer enjoys doing anything outside and while she’s not a huge sports fan, she’ll play for fun and prefers being active to tv, movies or video games. She loves that StretchLab is a great avenue for people to start their journey of health and fitness and is a great and essential addition to any exercise regimen.

Scottie Stampone is a passionate movement artist with a background of classical and contemporary dance. He especially loves to choreograph, which for him is a cathartic and necessary creative hobby for survival, but also an opportunity to tell stories that challenge norms, evoke curiosity or raise consciousness by inspiring and encouraging free thought and self expression. After attending the Tisch School of the Arts at NYU from 2009-2013 and majoring in contemporary dance and choreography, Scott moved back to PA and began yoga teacher training while also giving his back time to heal from traumatic musculoskeletal injury. He is certified in Ashtanga-based Vinyasa Yoga and has been practicing and teaching for 6 years, incorporating music, dancing, and improvisation into his classes. It's Scottie's goal to empower the awesomely diverse and sincere members at StretchLab Collegeville, and he is excited to help bodies achieve more balance, ease, and vitality, and gain back the freedom to dance, move, experience and celebrate life to the fullest.

Paige Kissel has worked in communications and marketing for a large healthcare company for several decades. Being surrounded by healthcare professionals inspired her to obtain her massage therapy license in 2019 from the Academy of Massage Therapy and Bodywork (Pottstown, PA). She has taken several continuing education courses including forearm fusion, cupping, massage for chronic pain, hot stone massage and pin/release stretching. While on lockdown due to COVID-19, Paige took the opportunity to expand her skill set and earned her personal training certification from the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM). During her free time, Paige enjoys gardening, spending time with her family and friends, laughing with her husband, trying new recipes and learning new skills. She is excited to bring her passion for helping others to StretchLab.

Having committed to a consistent, holistic yoga practice for 5 years, Melissa became a registered yoga teacher (RYT 200) in August 2020! Mirroring her own journey, Melissa is called to guide and empower others to heal physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually through intentional, mindful and gentle stretch/movement; attending to the whole Self. Melissa loves being active and connecting with nature; camping (in a tent under the stars), yoga outdoors, sunrises/sunsets, moon gazing, being near/on the water (lake, bay, river, ocean), hiking, standup paddle boarding, fishing, beach, mountains, and adventuring! In the spirit of balance, Melissa can also be found snuggling up on the couch with a cozy blanket, thought-provoking book, and cup of warm tea or milk to soothe, relax, and restore. Stretch Lab offers the space to work with, connect, and support individuals on their journeys to movement, wellness, and healing, build relationships and partnerships with fellow staff and clients, and learn and grow from each other’s unique stories.
