Hi, my name is Maria and I'm excited to start this new journey with you at StretchLab. I'm happily married with 3 beautiful and active children. I completed my Certification in Massage Therapy in 2002 and have over 7 years experience as a Physical Therapy Aide. I have always been active in sports throughout my life, but found my passion 5 years ago, practicing and training in Taekwondo @ UTA Martial Arts, alongside my children. Most recently I tested and received my 1st Degree Black Belt. I know firsthand and have experienced the benefits of stretching. I'll be bringing my love for health and wellness, along with my knowledge of massage and bodywork, and combining that with our PNF Stretch Techniques to provide you with a relaxing and effective stretch. Looking forward to working with you and bringing positive improvements and self care to your everyday life!

Hi, I'm Mirella! The concept of health and happiness has greatly impacted my purpose. I learned early in my life that I had a passion for movement, and my earliest passions of gymnastics and dancing would eventually lead to my later interest in yoga and tai-chi. I truly love how the body could heal through that movement. As a psychology major, I studied the human stress response and how it could be impacted by human touch. This brought me to study the field of nursing with a focus in geriatrics and hospice care. My passion for overall good health would lead me to StretchLab. When I stretch a member, I instruct them to focus on the breath. Good, deep breathwork can literally kick our bodies out of fight or flight mode, and turn on the healing portion of our autonomic nervous system. After seeing how the body and mind interact in different healthcare settings, I know that the work I do will help people feel better and achieve more balance in their life, both literally, and figuratively :) !! One of the most satisfying aspects of the work I do here at StretchLab, is having the opportunity to engage in a fun activity that supports others gaining physical balance, flexibility, strength, and various cognitive benefits, such as motivation and relaxation. This position is a blessing in my life, and I look forward to sharing it with others!
