Welcome to StretchLab Pasadena

I'm certified in Level 1 & 2 Thai massage, deep tissue massage, and have completed 560 hours of Yoga Alliance teacher training across multiple styles—including power, hot power fusion, and yin yoga. For over five years, I’ve been teaching yoga and practicing bodywork, and through that journey, I’ve developed a deep passion for helping people move through pain and discomfort. I use targeted massage techniques supported by my knowledge of anatomy and physiology to address each client’s specific needs. My approach is always client-centered focusing on individual goals while also working to identify and get to the root cause of pain or dysfunction. Outside of work, I love expressing myself through painting and dancing, and I stay grounded through my own yoga practice. I look forward to supporting you on your wellness journey!

I graduated from California State University, Northridge with a Bachelor's degree in Kinesiology. While studying, I had the opportunity to volunteer with individuals who had various disabilities, helping them regain an active lifestyle which really deepened my passion for movement and recovery. In my free time, I like to stay active through weightlifting and hiking. Standing over 6 feet tall and with a strong build, I’m especially well-suited to work with big and tall clients. I’ve had plenty of experience doing so, especially during my time stretching clients at the El Segundo StretchLab for over a year. What I enjoy most about working at StretchLab is connecting with clients and seeing their progress over time. Helping people feel better in their bodies and watching them improve with each session is what makes this work truly rewarding.

I earned my Associate’s degree in Natural Sciences from Los Angeles City College and went on to complete my Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology with a focus on Sports Studies at California State University, Northridge. Go Matadors! My background in the health industry includes experience in fitness instructing and wellness coaching, particularly with the geriatric population. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with a range of clients, including professional athletes like WNBA champion Candice Wiggins and former Los Angeles Lakers player and 3x NBA Champion Luke Walton, who I stretched regularly. I bring charismatic energy and genuine enthusiasm to every session, and my goal is to make your stretching experience not only effective, but fun. I look forward to helping you enjoy the journey and stay motivated as you work toward your goals here at the studio!

As the General Manager of StretchLab Pasadena, I am dedicated to creating a welcoming and inclusive space where each client feels supported on their unique wellness journey. I started as a Flexologist over four years ago, and from day one, I connected with StretchLab’s core principles, helping people move, feel, and live better through the power of assisted stretching. It is incredibly rewarding to see all of our clients walk out of our studio feeling better than they did coming in. Let’s talk about your goals when you come in next, I’d love to help you take the next step in your flexibility journey.

I graduated from Indiana University in 2016 with a Bachelor's degree in Kinesiology, and then spent the next seven years dancing professionally in New York City. I recently made the move to Los Angeles to pursue my Doctorate in Sports Chiropractic, and I’m currently balancing life as a student chiropractor, Flexologist, and personal trainer. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to be featured on platforms like Nike and Popsugar Wellness, which has been an exciting part of my journey in the health and fitness space. In my spare time, you can find me lifting, hiking, or rock climbing. I love staying active and exploring all that California has to offer. I’m so happy to be here and look forward to helping you move and feel your best!

I graduated from San Diego State University with a Bachelor's degree in Kinesiology, specializing in Fitness. Before joining the team at StretchLab Pasadena, I worked in San Diego focusing on PNF stretching and myofacial release. I've had the opportunity to work with athletes of all ages and sizes but being on the taller side myself, I’ve found that I have a natural advantage when it comes to stretching and supporting big and tall clients. I'm a very active person and love staying moving whether it's playing basketball, volleyball, or just getting outdoors. In my downtime, you’ll usually find me listening to music, thrifting, or hanging out with friends. I’m excited to make a real and lasting impact by helping clients move better, feel better, and reach their goals one stretch at a time.

I graduated from Northeastern Illinois University in 2019 with a Bachelor's degree in Community Health & Wellness, and later completed my Master’s in Kinesiology from Cal State Northridge. While studying through the pandemic, I had the unique opportunity to interview Cirque du Soleil performers and design a specialized exercise conditioning program for aerialists—an experience that really deepened my appreciation for movement and performance. Since earning my MS in 2021, I’ve been working as a Flexologist for over a year, while also teaching and competing as a professional pole dancer. I’m originally from the Chicagoland area, where I grew up as a swimmer, my favorite stroke was always butterfly. As an adult, I was introduced to pole dancing and fell in love with it right away. I quickly began teaching and competing across the U.S., earning several first-place titles and placing second at the Pole Sport Organization’s National Championship in 2019. My passion for pole dance sparked a deeper curiosity about the human body, leading me to explore movement disciplines like handstands, yoga, and of course, stretching. I’m excited to use everything I’ve learned to help others move better, feel stronger, and find joy in their own bodies.

I’m a certified personal trainer with a background in Kinesiology, and I’m currently pursuing a graduate degree in Complementary and Integrative Medicine. I originally started with StretchLab at the Sacramento location and recently made the move to the Pasadena team, excited to continue making a positive impact on people’s quality of life and overall well-being. I’m passionate about helping clients achieve their health and fitness goals, and I’m committed to providing the highest level of care in every session. I take pride in being approachable and easy to work with, and I always aim to create a supportive space where clients feel heard, challenged, and empowered to live better.

I’m a certified yoga therapist and personal trainer (CIAYT, E-RYT 500, RPYT, RCYT) with a passion for helping people reconnect with their bodies and reduce the stress we so often carry without even realizing it. In addition to my extensive yoga training, I’m also a certified stress management specialist and currently pursuing further education in Kinesiology at Cal State Fullerton to deepen my understanding of movement and wellness. Outside of the studio, I enjoy aromatherapy, hiking, martial arts like Kajukenbo and Tai Chi, as well as pranic healing and CBD consulting. My approach to wellness is rooted in the mind-body connection—I believe true health comes from addressing the full picture: physical, emotional, and energetic. Working at StretchLab has been the perfect space for me to bring all of these elements together. I love being able to use my skills and knowledge to make a meaningful impact on our clients’ overall well-being, and I look forward to helping you feel more balanced, mobile, and empowered.

I recently graduated from UCLA with a degree in Physiological Science, where I developed a deep appreciation for the complexity of the human body. I’m currently applying my knowledge at StretchLab as I prepare to take the next step toward Physical Therapy school. With two years of experience as a physical therapy aide, I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with clients on their recovery and mobility goals. That experience taught me the value of a personalized, thoughtful approach something I carry into every stretch session. Outside of work, I’m passionate about staying active, exploring new foods, and spending quality time with my girlfriend. What I enjoy most about StretchLab is seeing the progress our clients make. Helping people feel better, move more freely, and live pain-free is what motivates me every day.

I’ve dedicated the past 17 years to helping my personal training clients improve their health and fitness, and I’ve seen firsthand how essential proper mobility is to living an active, pain-free life.

I currently teach future fitness professionals at AFNA and assist as a strength and conditioning coach for Occidental Women’s Rugby. When I’m not leading youth or senior fitness classes at my local community rec center, you’ll probably find me outdoors running, playing tennis, cycling, hiking, traveling, or enjoying great food. What I love most about StretchLab is the emphasis on continuing education. I'm always looking to grow in this field, and I plan to pursue higher education in Sports Medicine so I can keep expanding the ways I support others in living active, healthy lives.

As a lifelong competitive basketball player/coach & football player, I am familiar with success, drive, consistency, and hard work. A serious injury slowed me down while I was at my peak, so I know what it is like to put health as my only priority, and rebuild foundational strength, mobility, and overall wellness. I completed a Kinesiology, B.S. degree with a focus in Rehabilitative & Therapeutic Exercise from Cal State University, Los Angeles, which helped me see exercise and wellness as more than just pushups and equipment at a gym.
