I have always had a passion for exercise and helping people. It was an easy transition for me to get into the fitness field and begin working with people on setting and reaching their goals. As a NASM certified personal trainer, I love being able to help clients by showing them that they are important and cared for! I am passionate about increasing their longevity and improving their quality of life – my work at StretchLab has allowed me to do just that and has been very rewarding. Developing relationships on the bench and in my life is a big part of who I am. I love spending time with my family, as well as hiking, baking and lifting weights. I’m a busy mom, so the stretch I appreciate the most is where many of us hold a lot of tension, the neck. Let’s work together and tackle the tension and tightness of life that you carry!

I am a Certified Personal Trainer and am pursuing my Master’s Degree in Kinesiology at SF State. My interest in fitness began with being involved in sports at a young age. When I started working out in the gym, my physical and mental health completely changed in a positive way. My hope is to help people reach their own fitness goals by offering guidance and encouragement throughout their journey. Our team at StretchLab is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about helping others – our focus on flexibility is beneficial to all ages and levels of fitness! It’s often overlooked and has incredible results. When I’m not working or working out, I love playing and watching sports, going to concerts and trying new restaurants. My personal favorite stretch? Glutes and lower back. It always feels amazing.

I’ve been involved in some sort of sport my whole life, but found my true passion when I started dancing – It’s how I express myself. I’m also a Yoga Teacher, Reiki Practitioner and Sound Healer. I am passionate about holistic wellness and nervous system regulation, and strive to support others in their journey to develop and maintain a peaceful mind and healthy body while navigating the stresses of life. StretchLab perfectly aligns with my work as a yoga teacher – both allow for a deeper, richer stretching experience and I love that it works for all bodies. Anyone can experience increased mobility and pain relief from regular assisted stretching! More about me…I love music festivals, meditation and hiking in the redwoods. I am a voice actor and vocalist and have two rescue pups named Cleo and Luna! See you on the bench.

I've always loved playing sports and knew the world of athletics and fitness was where I belonged. I fell in love with basketball and played through college at SF State where I studied Kinesiology. Working with the athletic trainer, I knew I wanted to do hands-on body work. I’ve spent the majority of my career as a Personal Trainer and corrective exercise specialist. Knowing the importance of mobility, I naturally fell into assisted stretching. It is always rewarding to help people move through life without pain and watch the progress they make with each session. My perspective is that life and work aren’t meant to be taken too seriously, HAVE FUN with the people around you! I love coffee, fitness, spending time with my family (I have triplet girls!), traveling and taking on any new adventure – especially if there’s a body of water and sun involved. See you in the studio!

A lifelong competitive dancer, Monica has always been fascinated by the intersection of artistry, athletic performance, and the human body. She holds a BA and is finishing her MFA in Dance Science, with a focus on strength and conditioning, performance psychology, and injury prevention. StretchLab gives Monica the opportunity to take that knowledge beyond the dance world, working one-on-one with people of all ages to improve movement, support recovery, and work toward meaningful goals. When she’s not in the studio, Monica loves traveling, discovering new restaurants, and spending time with family and friends. Her ideal day? A home-cooked meal, her favorite people, and a beautiful view—with a good trap stretch thrown in!

For Ryan, health and fitness have always been part of everyday life. Growing up playing sports sparked his curiosity about how the body moves and performs, eventually leading him to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Public Health from the University of Nevada, Reno, with studies in anatomy, physiology, exercise physiology, and physical fitness. Ryan was drawn to StretchLab as a way to turn his active lifestyle and interest in the human body into something that directly helps others move and feel better. Competitive by nature, Ryan loves working out, pickleball, gaming, watching sports, and especially golf—he’ll rarely turn down a chance to play! His go-to stretch is the hip flexor, particularly after an active day.

Kathryn’s passion for fitness began in high school, when she convinced her parents to sign her up for a gym membership and quickly fell in love with group fitness and strength training. She became a certified Spinning instructor and taught fitness classes throughout college before earning her B.S. in Kinesiology with a focus in Exercise Science and Health Promotion. Her experience has included corporate wellness, personal training, and exercise testing and prescription in a hospital wellness center. Kathryn loves StretchLab because she can use her experience to help clients improve flexibility, strength, range of motion, and overall quality of life while encouraging them in their own commitment to health and wellbeing. A lifelong learner, she is also continuing her education in personal training, nutrition coaching, and corrective exercise. Outside the studio, Kathryn enjoys ballet, strength training, painting, singing, and gardening. Her favorite stretch is the Thomas Stretch for the freedom and mobility it creates in her hips. For Kathryn, staying active, creative, grateful, and always learning isn’t just part of a perfect day—it’s a way of life.

Rajan found his calling in sports medicine as a Student Athletic Trainer at Solano Community College, where helping athletes recover from injuries showed him how rewarding hands-on care could be. He went on to earn an A.S. in Sports Medicine and a B.S. in Kinesiology. That athletic training experience is what drew Rajan to StretchLab. He enjoys being hands-on again, helping clients work through tightness, stiffness, and recovery so they can get back to doing what they love. Family is a big part of Rajan’s world, along with traveling and Boston Celtics basketball. He’d love to build a car engine someday, appreciates a great IT Band stretch, and considers a sunny family outing followed by ice cream a pretty perfect day.
