Welcome to StretchLab East Greenwich

I have been involved in the Health & Fitness industry for over a decade. After graduating from the American Academy of Personal Training in 2012, I began my profession as a Certified Personal Trainer at a few local gyms in the Providence area. I helped others to reach their goals, such as weight loss, muscle gain, and improving athletic performance. After completing an internship at “The Genius of Flexibility” in Boston, MA, I found my niche and passion in the area of assisted stretching. I continued my education in this modality by completing all levels of training in The Ki-Hara Method. I have melded all these experiences together in hopes of helping members at StretchLab to move and feel better. Outside of the studio, I coach and enjoy playing soccer. My other favorite activities can be found outdoors from walking my black lab, Maggie, to snowboarding and kayaking.

My journey to the fitness profession began as a personal passion. I obtained my NCFS personal training certification after I was able to transform my own life through fitness. I take great pride in helping people live and obtain a healthier lifestyle. Through stretching, I enjoy assisting people improve their quality of life and overall wellness. When I'm not at StretchLab you can find me enjoying time on my Harley Davidson motorcycle or walking with my wife and dog on nature trails.

My name is Jeffery Hodson. I grew up playing football, baseball, basketball, and track. I am a yoga teacher, and stretching and fitness are a major part of my life. I spend most of my free time going on hikes all through New England, and I'm a sucker for a good book. My passion for stretching has brought me here because everything StretchLab does has been tested and proven to generate positive results. My goal as a flexologist is to help each client reach the goals they have in mind, and feel better each time you leave

With over 30 years in the fitness industry as a personal trainer, I understand the importance of stretching. It is something I have stressed with clients over the years. I always include a significant of amount stretching during my clients sessions. Working at StretchLab was a easy decision for me and an extension of what I have already been doing. When I am not working, I can be found outside on land or in the water. I love mountain hiking & biking and I am avid surfer. I have surfed all over the world.

I have always helped people experience wellness and relaxation through movement of the body. My background is in personal training and group fitness. I have taught all formats of fitness including gentle yoga. My path took a turn when I helped my mother through her illness. Eventually saying goodbye to her. This catapulted my focus on everything health and wellness. I started studying mind & body fitness and began seeing the importance of prevention. I became very proactive with my own fitness and inner wellbeing. Movement, meditation and breath work have been the most powerful healing tools for me and now I want to serve people in the same way I have been helped. I have realized that “If you don’t have freedom in your body you don’t have freedom in your life: freedom of time, abundance, deep personal connections and purpose.” So, let’s get moving. Let’s stretch!

My journey with stretching and flexibility came at an early age in a gymnastics gym. I grew up in the gym and it is where I truly found my passion for movement and healing through movement. Now I coach gymnastics and help others find their joy for stretching. I currently hold my Associate degree in Exercise Science and am continuing on to earn my Bachelors of Exercise Science. From there, I plan on pursuing my goal of a doctorate of physical therapy. When I’m not working, I enjoy hiking, surfing, and trying out new restaurants and cafes! StretchLab gives me the opportunity to help people achieve their goals and share my love for movement.

My personal love for health and fitness inspired me to become NASM certified in both personal training and nutrition. Starting in 2015, I became a personal trainer. Training allowed me to change many lives by helping people reach their goals, and I quickly realized that a career in health and wellness is what I was meant to do. Nutrition and exercise have always been at the top of everyone's health and wellness choices, and I'm ready to show others how flexibility, stretching, and mobility are just as important to helping people live a longer, healthier, more enjoyable life.

The love I have for health and fitness has allowed me to change many lives throughout my fitness career. Starting in 2015, I became a personal trainer and quickly realized this is what I was meant to do. Nutrition and exercise have always been at the top of everyones “health choices” and i'm ready to show others how flexibility, stretching, and mobility, are just as, if not more important to living a longer more enjoyable life.

My name is Rhiannon Smith. I've been doing yoga and resistance training since I was 14. I am now a yoga teacher, and health and fitness are major priorities in my life. I spend my free time meditating, doing yoga and hiking with my dogs. I believe very much in strengthening AND lengthening the body, and that's why I love working at StretchLab. I can help people to remain mobile. As a flexologist I want to work towards each client's individual stretching goals, and as a perk I hope they feel a little lighter after a great stretch.

My name is Mackenzie. Something I like people to know about me is that fitness was not something I was always invested in. Through my time in the gym I have experienced first hand what hard work can do to better yourself. I fell in love with it so much that I became a personal trainer. I have had the privilege of encouraging many individuals to take better care of themselves and achieve their fitness goals just as I did. One of the most rewarding aspects of being a trainer is building relationships with my clients. These connections motivate me to continue helping others on their fitness journeys. Hearing that my clients have noticed huge differences in their personal lives after meeting and working with me is why I continue to do what I love. My goal as a Flexologist is to emphasize the important role that stretching plays in helping you reach your personal health and wellness goals. In my spare time, I enjoy playing soccer and spending time with my cat Little. I look forward to working with you and supporting you every step of the way!

As a former D-1 athlete and current physical therapist student, I understand the benefits of stretching with someone who understands the body and its demands. I have experience in a multitude of fitness & healthcare settings, and am excited to join my 2nd StretchLab studio. I graduated from Springfield College in 2023 and am currently at the University of Rhode Island to obtain my Doctorate of Physical Therapy. I have always been big on trying new things and having a great therapeutic relationship with all my clients. Hope to see you in the studio soon!

Health and fitness have always been central to my life. From an early age, I played soccer and tennis, and during high school, I discovered a passion for resistance training. This enthusiasm led me to earn my personal training certification and pursue a degree in kinesiology. While I always recognized the value of stretching, mobility, and flexibility, I didn't fully appreciate their importance until taking several kinesiology courses—and experiencing a few injuries along the way. Today, stretching has become a cornerstone of my training routine, both personally and with my clients. I am committed to helping others understand how these practices can support their health and wellness goals. If I'm not in the studio, I’m probably out golfing, playing soccer, or just spending time with friends. Hope to see you guys in the studio soon!

I am an AmSAT certified Alexander Technique teacher, level II attuned Usui Reiki practitioner, performer, and performance curator. I received certification in the Alexander Technique from the Riverside Initiative for the Alexander Technique (RIAT) in New York City after completing a 3-year / 1,600 hour training program. I studied reiki at MINKA Brooklyn with masters Aki Hirata Baker and Manu River Del Prete. I am a Rhode Island native and, after living in New York City as a performer and practitioner for 15 years, I’m back in Rhode Island re-rooting. I am the founder, curator, and host of It Might Be Over Soon…, a performance salon held once a month in Brooklyn. I have a casually active workout and yoga practice and am thrilled to join the team at StretchLab as a flexologist!

I began my wellness journey doing power yoga in 2001 and working for a fitness company designing exercise equipment. While overcoming physical injuries after an accident, I came to appreciate deep stretching and restorative practices to relax and relieve everyday aches and pains. I joined the non-profit, Shri yoga in 2014 bringing yoga, mindfulness practices, and nutrition programs to local schools, hospitals, and communities of people living with disabilities. I am a certified yoga teacher through the Yoga Alliance; and a Reiki practitioner. I built a beautiful community of yogis at my studio in Johnston, RI for 6 years. I am passionate about helping people balance body and mind and tap into their natural ability to heal. I look forward to helping my clients achieve their goals through assisted stretching. Hope to see you in the studio soon!

My passion for physical fitness and holistic health began just before starting university, when I decided to study Kinesiology at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. I graduated in 2019 with my bachelors degree and I absolutely loved the program and my professors. I then began an online graduate program in Clinical Nutrition, and finished my Master's in July of 2022. I love to learn the intricate details of the human body and how to heal it through evidence-based techniques, which is what strongly attracted me to join StretchLab. I firmly believe that movement is medicine, and that consistent stretching (and good nutrition) go hand in hand with this principle! I also love to personal train for a few hours a week (NASM certified) and I spend my own time resistance training and doing pilates. My other favorite activities include skiing with my husband, traveling the world, listening to podcasts and enjoying warm weather and beach days. I look forward to helping my clients achieve their mobility goals!
