For the past three years, I have thoroughly enjoyed being part of the StretchLab team, where I am passionate about supporting others on their health and wellness journeys. Outside of work, I love roller skating, creating art, and riding my Harley, embracing life to the fullest!

Hi, I'm Jaime. I moved to Arizona in 2006 from Colorado. I was in the IT field for almost 20 years and switched professions back in 2018. I believe "A happy body, is a body in motion". I have a background as a physical therapy technician and massage therapist. I have a thirst for knowledge and always looking for ways to assist in relieving pain, one body at a time. I do everything from manual therapy to stretching and relaxation. I joined the StretchLab team because it also has the same focus. Outside of all the work fun, my hobbies include dancing, hiking, and walking my 2 pups every day.
