Welcome to StretchLab Orland Park

I graduated from the University of St. Francis (Fort Wayne) in 2018 with a Bachelor's degree in Health & Exercise Science, along with a double minor in Coaching and Psychology. Health and fitness have always been central to my life. Growing up, I played basketball, baseball, and ran track, and I earned a scholarship to play football at USF. My lifelong passion for health and wellness, combined with a deep appreciation for the benefits of exercise, led me to pursue a career as a Stretch Specialist (Flexologist) and Massage Therapist. I'm committed to helping individuals improve mobility and flexibility, prevent injuries, and reduce pain. A key part of my work also involves educating clients on corrective strategies to support long-term health. I truly love what I do because I enjoy helping people feel and move better. Outside of work, I'm adventurous and active-I enjoy working out, watching sports and spending time with friends and family.

I am a licensed Occupational Therapist passionate about helping people move, feel, and live better. With my rehabilitation and functional movement background, I specialize in guiding clients to safely improve flexibility, mobility, and body awareness while supporting their personal goals. Everybody is unique, and I enjoy working one-on-one to create a customized stretching experience that improves performance and recovery and enhances daily life. Outside of the studio, I love reading, exploring hiking trails, and attending music festivals. So whether you're looking to boost athletic performance, recover from daily stress, or simply feel your best, I'm here to support you every step of the way.
