Welcome to Stretchlab Solana Beach

I am a certified Massage & Bodywork Therapist for the past 5 years. I am also a NASM Personal Trainer & Youth soccer Coach. I love all things outdoors! Soccer, hiking, snowboarding and working out on the beach are some of my favorites. I love StretchLab's amazing environment and the opportunity to help my clients reach their goals.

I have been a Personal Trainer for athletes on the track and in the weight room for 10 years. I am also a Yoga and fitness class instructor. I played college football at Dartmouth. I am a Decathlete, and a hopeful for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games for Javelin. I really enjoy anything where I get to be active! I am an adventurer at heart, so I love hiking and exploring new trails and areas. I love StretchLab because it gets straight to the heart of helping people improve their bodies and move better. It allows me to work 1-on-1 with people in a pure form and therefore allowing them to better express themselves through movement.

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Kinesiology and I am an ACE Certified Personal Trainer. I am a bodybuilder and powerlifter, and I have been in the fitness industry for the past 10 years. In highschool I discovered weight training and developed my passion for powerlifting. I am constantly looking for new techniques to further my weightlifting skills and challenge myself. If I'm not in the gym you'll probably find me relaxing at home with a good book, or binge watching a new tv series. I love working in such a welcoming and caring environment at StretchLab. My goal is always to help people in whatever way I can, and StretchLab gives me the platform to do that.

I am a NASM Certified Personal Trainer and I am currently studying for my Bachelor's Degree in Kinesiology. I also have 4 years of Sports Medicine experience through the Tahquitz Sports Medicine Program. Through this program I truly found my passion for helping and educating others on the importance of mobility training and preventive care. Being a youth athlete myself, playing softball and basketball, this helped me recognize the importance of flexibility and mobility training, not only to live an active lifestyle, but for a healthy long lasting life in general. In my free time, I spend most of my days weight training and powerlifting. My hobbies include taking hikes with my dogs, spending time at the beach surfing and swimming, and practicing yoga. I love StretchLab because it has given me an opportunity to practice what I love and help others along the way. It allows me to connect with people on a deeper level and help give them clarity on why they are feeling they way they do.

I graduated from San Diego State University with a Bachelor degree in Kinesiology, with an emphasis in Pre-Physical Therapy. During that journey I was able to obtain my 200 hour yoga certification in Hatha Yoga from Mira Costa College. I am also a first and second degree certified Reiki Practitioner specializing in the Japanese energy healing technique. I’ve worked as a Physical Therapy Aide for two years working with a range of ages and performance levels and I am currently in school to become a Physical Therapist. I have also gained coaching experience from being a surf instructor and soccer coach for six years. I’m a seasonal athlete that enjoys the outdoors, so throughout the year you can find me playing all sorts of different sports such as surfing, yoga, snowboarding, hiking, strength training, playing tennis, and pickleball. What I love about StretchLab is not only all the amazing people, but also being a part of their journey to having a better and more comfortable life.

I am a NASM Certified Personal Trainer and Corrective Exercise Specialist, as well as being a Kickboxing Coach with a background in Parkour and Martial Arts. I have been passionate about Health and Fitness all my life and it is my aim to help others find and achieve their health and fitness goals. When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with friends, family and meeting new people. I’m also a huge foodie who loves to cook and find all of the best places to eat. I prioritize keeping myself in good shape and in good health so that I can continue to do all of the above for as long as I possibly can. I love working at StretchLab because it gives me an opportunity to work both sides of the fitness coin. Not only am I able to help people work on their fitness goals as a Personal Trainer, I now also directly help to improve mobility, flexibility and recovery as a Flexologist.

I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Kinesiology from Cal Poly Pomona and I am a NASM Certified Personal Trainer. I also have a background working at a Physical Therapy Office. I currently train at The Bay Club, and I have experience training clientele of all ages with a wide range of goals. When I’m not at work you can find me at the gym, on a basketball court, or on one of San Diego’s many hiking trails or beaches. My passion for health and fitness grew through my studies and I enjoy helping others build this passion as they work toward becoming the best version of themselves! I love helping others definitively achieve positive physical change as they progress through our flexibility training program at StretchLab. It’s amazing to see how those physical improvements also lead to a better mental and physical state.

I received my Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training from Chapman University and a Master of Science from Georgia Southern University. I have been practicing as a Certified Athletic Trainer for 6 years primarily in the collegiate and hospital outreach setting. I love any chance to be outdoors enjoying nature and the sunshine - hiking, swimming and picnicking. Making memories with friends and family are number one to me! StretchLab has been such a wonderful way for me to utilize my skills in a setting outside of traditional healthcare. This has been a great opportunity to help individuals reach their goals from injury recovery, functional fitness and long term wellness.

I am a National Association of Sports Medicine certified personal trainer and corrective exercise specialist. I have worked in the fitness industry on both the corporate and Trainer side for 7 years. I love impacting people’s lives by getting to know them on a deeper level and hearing all about their life stories. I believe this is an essential part of my drive to help people, recover faster, relieve pain, and overall enhance life so that their stories can keep being written! Outside of StretchLab, you’ll find me on the mats at a jujitsu gym, drinking coffee, playing music way too loud, or working on a sketch that’s probably driving me nuts. Let’s look forward to feeling better and helping YOU live long!

I have a Master of Science degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine, an Acupuncture Diplomate by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. I have completed an Associate of Science degree in Kinesiology at Santa Monica College. Then, went on to further my passion for holistic wellness by obtaining my personal training certificate through NASM and completed 400 hours of yoga training in Ashtanga and Alignment Yoga in the U.S. and Israel. I’ve taught group fitness and alignment-based yoga, as well as pre and postnatal classes for 7 years. I completed an extensive internship at the UCSD outpatient clinics for both cancer and HIV/AIDS treating patients using acupuncture, cupping, massage, herbal therapy, nutritional guidance, and corrective exercises. I’ve been an avid surfer for many years and the ocean is my natural habitat. When I’m not working, I love spending time with my 1-year-old son, Kai. Early morning, while he’s still asleep, I train for an Olympic distance triathlon which has helped me regain my freedom and mind after a humbling postnatal experience. I am incredibly grateful to find and serve the clients at StretchLab using my knowledge of anatomy, kinesiology and experience to provide the community with tools and awareness for the purpose of helping people reach their wellness goals to achieve their fullest human performance potential.

I have been a volleyball coach for 10 years. Coaching is the main reason I decided to pursue a career in health and fitness, specifically, physical therapy. After seeing many of my athletes sustain injuries and most only receive prescription medication to mask symptoms, I knew there had to be a better solution. So, 3 years into an undergraduate degree as a computer engineer, I switched to Kinesiology to learn more about the human body and how I can provide a permanent solution for various health conditions. I received my bachelors degree in Kinesiology at San Diego State University, where I also volunteered in working with patients with disabilities as well as spinal cord injury patients. Currently, I am attending the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences where I am in my second year for my Doctor of Physical Therapy degree. Outside of work and school, you can catch me working out or playing/coaching volleyball! I love staying active on my days off because a body in motion, stays in motion! Aside from all the amazing people I get to interact with, I love working at StretchLab because it allows me to further my education in recovery and prevention. Every body and everybody is different and it allows me to not only learn about the physical ailments of those that I work with to provide true solutions, but also the personal lives of those that I am impacting.
