Welcome to StretchLab EGR

Hi, I am Emma and was born and raised in Petoskey MI where I grew up enjoying the outdoors. I love to sail and swim during the summer, and I worked many years as a ski instructor in the winters. I was a passionate athlete in high school, and that guided me through my educational journey at Grand Valley State University where I graduated with my Bachelor of Science in Clinical Exercise Science. Throughout my years at GVSU I was able to combine my appreciation for exercise, with knowledge that would allow me to help others. I have worked in various physical therapy clinics, and my favorite part has been watching patients leave with less pain than they came in with. I am excited to be part of the amazing team of Flexologists, who are working to decrease pain and restriction in the joints and muscles of our clients. I want to shine a light on the importance of flexibility and stretching in contribution to overall health and wellness. I have learned so much regarding the benefits of a routine stretching program and increased flexibility, and I cannot wait to bring those benefits to the members at StretchLab!

I am certified as a personal trainer through NASM, as well as hold a B.S in Exercise Science with an emphasis in Kinesiology and health / fitness instruction from Grand Valley State University. Fitness is one of my biggest passions and I understand that it is a platform that I can use to help others reach the best version of themselves, as well as achieve a better quality of life. What attracted me to StretchLab is my passion to help others; while working here I have developed a passion for mobility training and love to share that knowledge with my clients for long lasting relief to those irritations caused by everyday life. Working at StretchLab has also allowed me to pursue my passion for teaching like minded individuals. As a Master Flexologist I will be training new Flexologist all over the country as well as working with the education department to further enhance the positive impact we as Flexologist can make on our members. I look forward to seeing you in our studio soon!

My name is Abby, a Flexologist at the East Grand Rapids StretchLab. I have a Bachelor's of Science in Healthcare Services and Sciences from Western Michigan University. I am currently in a graduate program at Western Michigan University working towards my Doctoral Degree in Occupational Therapy. Helping others work towards a better quality of life has become a big part of who I am. I was drawn to StretchLab because we are able to assist in improving one's mobility which relates to my passion of improving quality of life. As a Flexologist, I want to help you in reducing pain that comes with restricted mobility in joints and muscles, and spread awareness of how important stretching is for your well-being.

Hello, my name is Hannah. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Public Health with an emphasis in Kinesiology from the University of Nevada, Reno, and I’m a certified yoga and mindfulness instructor. When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me outdoors fishing, hunting, or hiking with my husband and our dog, Willow Grace. Wellness has been a cornerstone of my life for the past 10 years. As an athlete, I learned firsthand the importance of caring for the body, and I carry that lesson into my work today. My goal is simple: to help clients feel good in their bodies and live a life that feels aligned.

Hello, I am Summer, a Flexologist at the East Grand Rapids StretchLab. I graduated from Aquinas College with a Bachelor's degree in Clinical Exercise Science where I was also a collegiate cheerleader. I have future plans to go to Graduate School and work towards my DPT. Throughout my education I’ve gained experience at a physical therapy clinic. With my experience I am thrilled to be with StretchLab and continue to help others feel their best and reach their goals! My current passions outside of work are working out, spending time with family and friends, and crocheting (animals, clothes, you name it)! I look forward to helping you achieve your goals!

Hi, my name is Abigail! I graduated from Spring Arbor University with a Bachelor’s degree in Health and Exercise Science, and I’m currently pursuing my Master’s in Exercise Physiology. My passion for the human body and helping others began after going through three ACL reconstructions. These injuries happened from my love for volleyball, basketball, and softball. During my rehab, I discovered how impactful health and wellness can be, and it inspired me to help others through their own injuries and challenges. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband, family, and friends. I also love being outdoors, weightlifting, baking, and singing. I’m excited to support you on your journey and help you move, feel, and live better. I look forward to meeting you soon!
