Welcome to StretchLab Livingston

Hi my name is Nidaa and I have been an avid member and advocate of the health and wellness field fsince 2016. I am certified personal trainer and athletic coach focusing on youth sports as well as a certified yoga instructor. All of these complimenting my bachelors degree in exercise physiology. When I’m not training you can catch me at the gym, on a scenic hike, or out trying the newest food spot in town. I believe that our bodies should be our temple and having self care days are vital. Come on down and start your self care day with a stretch!

Hi everyone, my name is Jackie and I am excited to be a Flexologist here in Livingston! I recently graduated this past May from East Stroudsburg University with a bachelor’s degree in exercise science. In college, I played soccer for a few years and learned the important of stretching/exercising through my education. I was lucky to gain experience in both Physical Therapy and Chiropractic atmospheres. In my free time I enjoy doing things such as hiking, going to the city with friends, and exercising. When I am not working, I incorporate Cycle Bar classes in my schedule for my daily exercise routine. I am eager to start here at StretchLab so that I can give future clients an effective and efficient stretch while also educating them about the importance of stretching. I am excited to meet everyone!
