Welcome to StretchLab Forest Acres

Hello all, my name is TJ! I have my bachelor's in exercise science and am also a sports performance coach. Fitness and sports have been a massive part of my life, from playing soccer as an infant to still playing today. I've been studying kinesiology and physical education for 10+ years in England and the US. The structure of the human body fascinates me and drives my desire to learn more about it. Working at StretchLab allows me to help people understand their bodies, see them improve, and reach their goals. Away from StretchLab, you can catch me playing soccer, eating good food, learning new skills, and spending time with my wife.

Hello everyone! My name is Zuha, and I’ve been a part of StretchLab since May 2024, shortly after earning my Exercise Science degree from the University of South Carolina. I’m working toward a future career in physical therapy, and I love that StretchLab gives me the opportunity to work with so many different individuals. Whether the goal is to release tension from a major injury or surgery, or to improve performance in a sport, I’m always excited to witness client progress and be a part of their journey toward better mobility and quality of life. In my free time, I enjoy watching sports, working out, and spending time with my girlfriend and our cat, Bacon.

Hi everyone, my name is Kenia! I am a recent graduate from Lander University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Science. I found my love for fitness and wellness in high school when I started running track and field. It has been an essential part of my life ever since and has led me to pursue this career. I enjoy traveling, listening to music, and spending time with friends, family, and my dog. I love everything about mobility and making people feel good physically and mentally. Stretching can be easily overlooked, and I am happy to be part of a team that helps people learn and increase their flexibility and range of motion for better functional living!

My name is Jessielyn, but you can call me Jessie. I recently graduated from the University of Illinois at Chicago with a degree in Kinesiology. My passion for fitness and health has led me to work with a variety of clients in different settings, which I truly enjoy. At StretchLab, I’m able to help clients move and feel better in their daily lives—an experience that aligns closely with my long-term goal of becoming a physical therapist dedicated to patient-centered care. What excites me most is connecting with clients and supporting their journey toward better mobility and overall wellness. Outside of work, I enjoy weightlifting, spending time with my boyfriend and dog, and exploring different coffee shops.

Hi everyone, my name is Gabby! I’m ecstatic to be working as a Flexologist while pursuing my Master’s degree in Exercise Science with a concentration in Clinical Exercise Physiology through Lander University. After completing my master’s, I plan to sit for the ACSM-CEP exam and then begin working toward my Doctorate. Before starting my graduate studies, I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology and Health from Miami University in 2022. Sports have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. I played soccer for 19 years, ran cross country for 2 years, and competed in powerlifting for 4 years—including holding a Kentucky state squat record and competing at the national level in 2021. I’m currently training in Olympic weightlifting. My personal experiences with sports injuries sparked a deep interest in the human body and inspired a lifelong goal: to help others become the healthiest, strongest versions of themselves. I love connecting with each client and supporting them in feeling strong, confident, and empowered in their bodies here at StretchLab.

Hi everyone, my name is Koty and I’m excited to be part of the team here at StretchLab! I graduated from USC in 2017 with a degree in Exercise Science and have been passionate about health and wellness for as long as I can remember. Soccer has been a huge part of my life—I started playing at age 3, continued through college at USC, and even pursued the sport professionally in Australia for a couple of years. After my competitive career, I explored different areas of health and fitness, which I now get to bring into my role as a Flexologist. Having experienced my own injuries and surgeries, I understand the importance of recovery and mobility, and I’m excited to use that knowledge to help others move and feel better. Outside of StretchLab, you’ll find me spending time with my girlfriend, playing soccer, working out, reading, and enjoying the outdoors.
