Howdy! My name is Jessica, and I moved to Washington from Georgia 4 years ago after completing my bachelor's degree in Kinesiology. I'm currently pursuing a second bachelor's degree in Neuroscience. Prior to coming to StretchLab, I worked at Valley Medical Center, providing exercise prescriptions for patients with various diseases and conditions such as cancer, lung diseases, multiple sclerosis, and many others. Like exercise, stretching is a form of medicine that helps heal the body and maintain good health. By stretching, I am able to move better and more often, which keeps me healthy and allows me to continue doing what I love (dancing)! My favorite areas to stretch are hamstrings, glutes, and back.
