I will always work with individuals to determine the best training and rehabilitation plans based on their abilities and goals. I am passionate about improving fitness, increasing effective therapy and training to better lifelong health and wellness. I look forward to working with you!

I’m a native of Huntsville, AL. I earned my degree in Exercise Science & Nutrition from the University of Montevallo, and I am currently completing my Masters in Sports Performance at the University of West FL. I played basketball at the collegiate level and was able to witness the importance of injury prevention, stretching, and recovery. I believe that it is important to take care of our bodies and find it rewarding to teach others how to be and feel their best! I have been a personal trainer and group exercise instructor. I was specifically focused on helping older clients get back into activities they love and regain independence. My days as an athlete shaped me, teaching me discipline, accountability, and how to work through adversity. I will bring these skills with an abundance of positivity to our sessions together to create a program and help you stay on track toward your goals. I just relocated to ATL, so tell me about the best kept local secrets!

Hello, I am from Stone Mountain, Ga. I earned a degree in Kinesiology & Exercise Science from Georgia State on track to become a Physical Therapist. I was an athlete in high school and played several sports, including team basketball. My passion for recovery grew from experiencing multiple injuries and going through my own rehabilitation. I had early exposure to observing and shadowing Occupational and Physical Therapists in my High School's sports medicine program. After college, I worked as a Physical Therapy Technician for 3 years, gaining clinical practice and hands-on experience. I understand how to keep my body in a healthy state and the rehabilitation process. I’m eager to share that knowledge with you! At StretchLab, I work with clients from every background and help them feel and perform their best and teach them how to care for their body. Whether you want to be able to continue to pick up basketball after being at a desk all day, are a retiree wanting to improve and keep your mobility, or a weekend warrior working on personal bests, I can help you improve how your body feels and performs.

I grew up in Decatur and Druid Hills and love the people within the community. I graduated from Clayton State University with a degree in Health Science and am pursuing a career in physical therapy. As a track and field athlete for 12 years, I learned first hand about the impact of recovery on performance, injury prevention, and rehabilitation. I have also been an Physical Therapy Aide and Wellness Coach. At StretchLab, I am excited to work hands-on with clients to teach them about their body and help them with preventative care. We often find ourselves in pain or injured because we aren’t stretching and doing the proper recovery for our active and static periods. We will create a clear plan on how to get your moving better and take care of yourself day to day.

Hello, I am originally from Kentucky. I spent most of my life in GA and graduated from Georgia Southern with a bachelor's degree in Kinesiology, focusing on Exercise Science, along with a minor in Anthropology. I moved to further my education at Life University, where I am currently pursuing a doctorate in chiropractic care. My goal is to become a chiropractor specializing in sports chiropractic and chronic conditions, helping athletes enhance their performance while supporting individuals in maintaining a good quality of life despite ongoing challenges. What led me to StretchLab was my desire to expand my skill set and explore new ways to help people find relief from pain and discomfort through hands-on techniques. My approach is rooted in building the body from the ground up—just like a house, a strong foundation is essential for long-term stability. I prioritize comfort, starting with lighter techniques to ensure I do not cause pain before gradually moving into deeper stretches that promote mobility and overall well-being.
