Welcome to StretchLab Montecito

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!

With a Bachelor’s degree in Athletic Training from Weber State University, I bring expertise in injury prevention to the StretchLab Montecito team. I'm passionate about staying active and being outdoors, spending my free time camping, hiking, horseback riding, and playing a variety of sports. I’m driven by helping people achieve their goals and become their best selves. There’s nothing more rewarding than witnessing someone accomplish a goal or fulfill a dream, and knowing I had a role in their journey. At StretchLab, I get to make that impact every day.

I was born and raised in San Clemente before committing to Westmont College here in Montecito. I was a student athlete and played on the Men’s Soccer team, and successfully graduated with a BS in Kinesiology. I am continuing my studies in the domain of body and movement in hopes of becoming a Paramedic Firefighter. I love playing soccer, golf, and tennis. I also enjoy going to the gym and watching sports. I appreciate StretchLab, because I know that all of my colleagues are committed to the service of others. It also allows an opportunity to work with people in this great community, and most importantly it feels great knowing we are able to help others reach their goals!

I graduated with a bachelor's degree in kinesiology with an emphasis in exercise science from Cal State Northridge. I've worked as a physical therapy aid for about 2 years in the valley. I was born and raised in beautiful Santa Barbara, and glad to be back! I am currently applying to PT schools to further my education and become a Doctor of Physical Therapy. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my girlfriend, friends, and family. I love that StretchLab helps anyone in our community and even outside to reach their mobility and wellness goals!

Current Senior at UCSB. I studied Kinesiology and am working toward a B.A in Sociology. I plan to continue my education in sports psychology or physical therapy. I was a competitive dancer for 8 years, focusing on ballet. This taught me discipline, persistence, and a strong work ethic, while also providing me a deep understanding of body alignment and flexibility. I am currently a competitive mountain biker and recognize the importance of injury prevention and recovery. I was an assitant XC bike coach for students, and this showed me how to keep them motivated and teach them skills on on safety. In my spare time, I enjoy going to the beach, traveling, and making jewelry. I thrive in hands-on, team-oriented environments, which StretchLab Montecito provides. StretchLab Montecito offers unique services that promote mobility, aging gracefully, and athletic recovery, and I appreciate how much everyone cares about each client and tailors a stretch program for each individual. Assisted stretching is an important component of maintaining overall health, and something that more people should do! I enjoy being a part of this process and making people feel their best!

Senior at Westmont College, finishing a B.S. in Kinesiology. I plan to continue my education becoming a PA. I am originally from Columbus, Ohio, but have spent the last 4 years living here in Santa Barbara. I've grown up playing soccer my whole life, and just finished my career at Westmont. Before joining StretchLab Montecito, I was a student athletic trainer. In my free time, I love playing beach volleyball, pickleball, or spikeball with friends. I also enjoy going to the gym and watching sports. I love that everyone at StretchLab truly cares and works to help others. There are huge benefits to stretching, and I am glad we are able to make a positive impact on our clients' lives!

It is so inspiring to see how much time and effort we put into building our programs and that this environment is always so warm and welcoming!
