Welcome to StretchLab Montecito

I began my journey in the health and wellness field in 2013 with athletic training, and that is what inspired me to dig deeper into the field. In 2019 I received my bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology and Nutrition Science with an emphasis in physical therapy. I Have worked in outpatient physical therapy clinics with a wide demographic of patients coming in with different needs. I am a strong believer in the importance of the mind and body connection, and how feeling well physically really influences people to feel better mentally. Being able to be a part of individuals’ healing journey and regain their freedom of movement is what has motivated me to pursue a Doctor of Physical Therapy program. When I am not working with patients or clients, I love going on nature walks with my dog, chasing sunsets, and enjoying the beach. StretchLab is such a special place for me because we really are a big family. My teammates are so supportive and I love that we all share a passion for helping others and having an incredible drive to see each and every one of our clients improve their mobility and surpass their goals.

I received my Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology from Fresno State with an emphasis in exercise science and went on to complete a personal training certification through NASM. I’ve worked in a physical therapy clinic for about 18 months and am currently in a doctorate program for PT at Baylor University. I’ve lived in Carpinteria for 12 years now and enjoy weightlifting, surfing, and training jiu-jitsu in my free time. Being a part of Stretch Lab has been a tremendously rewarding experience. I love that I get to educate people on human anatomy and how they can improve their movement through stretching and exercise. Hearing success stories from my clients about how they are able to move more freely and do their favorite physical activities with less limitation is a constant reminder of why I chose this line of work.

As a Licensed Aesthetician and Massage Therapist, I have been in the health & wellness industry in other capacities all my life working as a Psychiatric Technician in hospitals with a extensive staff and Holistic Clinics with Naturopath Doctors and Professional Practitioners of alternative healing degrees as a Colon Therapist. I found my beginnings in Dance Therapy working with children & adults as well as in the performing arts with dance company’s from Maui to California. My skills are vast and varied in the Healing, Health & Performing Arts with Health & Wellness always at the core of my passions and life style. As an Educator I enjoy learning, growing, and at StretchLab I can share and empower others with information assisting them in their own journey of spiritual growth, health, wellness & expansion. I find my greatest joys in traveling to other countries and experiencing other cultures and lifestyles.

I graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Exercise Physiology from CSU Chico. I am a native to Goleta and am happy to be back and helping the people of Santa Barbara County. My studies at school and on my own at the gym have been focused on increasing performance, and one of the best ways to use your body more effectively is to use all of it. My fitness journey has led me to appreciate and value mobility and I can relate to many of the issues people who come to Stretchlab have. I'm using my time working here to better understand the human body before I apply to a Doctor of Physical Therapy program. When I'm not at the gym or working I'm most often at home playing video games with my cat in my lap.

Current student at Westmont College focusing on attaining a Kinesiology degree. I am also a part of the Men's Soccer program and I have been around the sport for roughly 16 years. I am a Santa Barbara local and enjoy working with the community. I am also fluent in English and Spanish. I have been around the stretching world for a good amount of years because of the natural use of it in athletics and I am excited to put that to work here at StretchLab. I aim to become a Doctor in Chiropractic in hopes to help those who need it even more! I enjoy playing soccer and being active. I love going on runs here in Santa Barbara whether it be to the beach or up the mountains, there is always a place to get a good run around here. I also enjoy going to the gym and am currently working towards some personal goals! I also enjoy some peace and quiet at times and one of my favorite hobbies to get away from everything is to draw and listen to music. What I love about StetchLab is how focused they are on providing a great service to the community here. They seek to serve and give people an overall great experience when it comes to stretching. They also have an amazing understanding of the importance of family and you can see that here with the group of people working together. Overall, StretchLab has opened a door of opportunity for those around to come and have a great experience through a great bond and connection with the workers while at the same time seeking to help others with a humble and serving heart.

I’ve been a personal trainer for the last 12 years. Have a degree in advanced health and fitness training from Bryan University. I’ve always been passionate about strength training and overall personal wellness, but was very shy growing up and into my early adult life. I got into personal training to help break out of my shell and become more comfortable around people in a one on one setting. I was successful in achieving that goal and now truly enjoy helping people reach their goals. Santa Barbara has some great trails to run with amazing payoffs at the top of the mountains. Recently, I’ve gotten more into barefoot style running which has helped achieve my goal of stronger legs and feet. I enjoy sharing with my clients in an effort help them achieve the same. I joined StretchLab to add assisted stretching tool to my tool bag. I believe there is no point in being strong if you can’t move properly. Especially as we age, it’s imperative that we keep our joints mobile.

I graduated from Westmont College with my Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology while being part of the Men’s Soccer team for all four years. Through soccer, I have been taught to be a disciplined, humble, and hard working. I am the oldest of 6, and lucky to be born and raised in a beautiful place like Santa Barbara. I am also fluent in both English and Spanish. I really enjoy staying connected in the soccer community here in Santa Barbara, whether I'm playing or coaching! I got the opportunity to coach at my old high school, Dos Pueblos, for a whole season! I really enjoyed being able to give back to my community through the sport that gave me everything. I also like running along the Santa Barbara beaches! There is not a more perfect place to run in beautiful weather and get beautiful views! Something I really enjoy about StretchLab is getting to help people. I find it fascinating how stretching can positively impact the human body! I like how StretchLab truly cares and serves their clients. We meet individuals in any stage of the journey, and our purpose is to help surpass their goals! StretchLab loves to give back to the community, so there is no better place I would rather be!
