Hi! My name is Mackenzie, and I’m so happy to be part of the StretchLab team. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science from Grand Valley State University and I am a certified yoga teacher, trained through a Yoga Alliance-approved school.

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!

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!

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!

Hi, I’m Kairos! I was born and raised in Michigan, and I’ve always lived an active, outdoors-driven lifestyle. Sports have been a major part of my life from a young age, and that passion pushed me to compete at a high level in rugby, wrestling, and kickboxing. I graduated from Adrian College with a Bachelor’s degree in Biology, and I’ve worked in several physical therapy settings, from surgical internships to PT clinics and athletic environments. My favorite part of every role has been helping people move better, feel stronger, and leave with less pain than when they walked in. As a Flexologist at StretchLab, I’m excited to bring together my experience as an athlete, coach, and stretch specialist. I’m a strong believer in the power of flexibility and mobility to improve performance, prevent injuries, and boost overall wellness. I’ve seen firsthand how big of a difference consistent stretching can make, and I’m here to help every member feel their best—one stretch at a time.

I am a 500hr Trauma-Informed Registered Yoga Teacher and currently pursuing my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Western Michigan University. For all of my life, movement has been a major component of my mental and physical wellbeing.

If you are looking for pain relief, mental relaxation, increased performance, overall balance and wellbeing, or all of the above, I am the perfect fit for your experience at StretchLab! As I guide you though focused PNF-style stretches, we will also emphasize awareness and control of the breath and take time to notice shifts in sensation or energy in the body, strengthening the mind-body connection.
