Welcome to StretchLab Novato

My interest in health and wellness began in high school, when I became an avid gym-goer and started trying new foods and fitness classes. While studying Human Developmental Sciences at UC San Diego, I found a passion in helping people become happier and healthier! That lead to pursuing my NASM certification Personal Training and then to StretchLab. Stretching is for everybody and is SO good for you. As a Flexologist, I am able to further my knowledge and help those around me feel better in their day-to-day lives. I learn something from every person on my bench! When I’m not stretching, you can find me reading, hiking, rock climbing, baking, being with friends & family, or training in the gym. Looking forward to helping you feel better and live LONG!

I discovered martial arts and a love for health and wellness as a young adult. I have over 10 years of experience, a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu jitsu and expertise in kickboxing. I am also an ISSA certified personal trainer. My driving goal is to help others find their best in body, mind and spirit. I love seeing someone move and feel better by taking action to improve their life, and witnessing how StretchLab changes the way people function and experience their world is awesome. One of my favorite stretches is the lumbar rotation, as it opens up the spine, side body and chest. Aside from martial arts, I also enjoy hiking, lifting weights, cooking, and exploring new and little known restaurants and magical spots around our world.

I grew up playing sports – I was captain of my tennis, water polo and swim teams in high school – and have always had a love for health and fitness. My degree in Kinesiology, and my experience from a two year sports medicine internship prepared me well for my Flexologist role! Our members get so much from improved flexibility and I love helping them reach their goals. Since we work one on one, we get the chance to really get to know who's on our bench and that’s both helpful and rewarding. My favorite stretch would have to be any in the shoulder sequence that expand range in the upper body. A few things about me…I’m a Bay Area native and I love summer, paddle boarding and the LA Clippers!

My work at a PT Clinic ignited my passion for rehabilitation and wellness. I’ve always been dedicated to fitness, and played several sports growing up. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Kinesiology with a concentration in Human Fitness and Performance. What drives me is the ability to help others improve their physical well-being, recover from injuries and level up their health overall. StretchLab aligns with my passion for rehabilitation, and I enjoy the hands-on approach and the personalized service we provide. Outside the studio, I love photography, travel and being in nature, staying active and exploring new fitness techniques. Can’t wait to stretch you out and get your body performing at its best!

I grew up playing a lot of sports, and got my NASM personal training certification in college to stay active. I wanted to share my passion for health and wellness with others and help people feel good in their own bodies which ultimately led me to pursuing a Doctorate of Physical Therapy. My goal is to have a lasting impact on clients’ wellbeing, and StretchLab provides an excellent avenue for people to move better and do the things they enjoy without fear of pain and injury! My personal favorite stretch? Neck traction, it’s so relaxing. More about me – I love working out, going to the beach, a great steak or italian dinner, video games and spending time with friends. I also appreciate a really good cup of coffee. Let’s connect and get you started on a path to better movement.

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 passionate about helping people. My work as a massage therapist taught me how to manipulate and decrease tension in the muscles, which naturally led to me becoming a certified NASM Personal Trainer. I have been training clients and leading group fitness for 10 years and enjoy being part of a client’s wellness journey. Eager to learn more and expand my skills, I saw a great opportunity in StretchLab. As Flexologists, we can truly make a difference in someone’s life by increasing flexibility and range of motion. Helping clients understand the “why” of stretching is really powerful! In my free time, you can find me working out, at the beach, on a hike or exploring new places with my husband and dog. Hope to see you on a bench soon!
