Welcome to StretchLab South Wilmington

I am a Yoga Instructor and NASM Certified Personal Trainer with a Degree in Nutrition. I have a passion for health and wellness, diving into learning all that I can. When I first graduated and then went on to get my certifications, there was a huge gap in practicing preventative health and I wanted to motivate others to begin taking their own health into their own hands. Now that more and more people are getting into fitness and eating more healthfully, I now focus on other aspects of wellness such as Yoga, Meditation, and breathwork to have a well rounded approach to health. Stretch Lab is another avenue that fills that gap of wellness. Everyone can benefit from stretching no matter what level of fitness you find yourself in and it is my goal to inspire you to gain a greater level of wellness on your health journey!

My love for health and fitness really evolved after my third child was born when I began attending group fitness classes. I fell in love with the energy and camaraderie of group fitness, so much so that I became an instructor. I have been a NASM certified personal trainer for over ten years now. I also hold certifications in corrective exercise and fitness nutrition. I have always been passionate about helping my clients reach their full potential by focusing on the body as a whole, rather than one specific area. Being a Flexologist with StretchLab has afforded me the opportunity to assist clients in recovery and self-care.

Once a couch-potato with a long-standing career in food service, then a fitness instructor, to now a flexologist, you could say that I understand a thing or two about change. I am a firm believer in baby-steps, and celebrating the ‘little’ victories. Maybe it’s touching your toes, or maybe it’s standing up without any pain, every bit counts. My fitness career began in 2019 as an aerial yoga and pilates instructor, which later led me to become an ACE certified personal trainer. My passion lies in educating others on how to listen to, and communicate with their body, understand movement, and find comfort within their own skin. My position here at Stretch Lab gives me a great opportunity to work with people on a personal level in a way that brings healing and hope for the way they feel on a day-to-day.

Ever since I can remember, I’ve always had a passion for helping others. While in college, I discovered a love for all things health and wellness. I decided to follow my heart and pursue a career in fitness after earning my certification in Personal Training and for a Nutrition Coach through National Academy of Sports Medicine. Promoting healthy living through my experience being a personal trainer, nutrition coach, and a flexologist, has been the most rewarding experience for me. Knowing I’m making a difference in someone’s life by educating them and helping them to reach their goals that they never thought were achievable, is why I enjoy working at Stretch Lab!

I'm a dedicated advocate for wellness through movement, holding a BFA in Dance from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. My passion lies in educating others about the critical role of stretching in maintaining physical health and overall well-being. Drawing from my dance background, I emphasize the therapeutic benefits of stretching, promoting flexibility, improved circulation, and stress relief. I strive to empower individuals to incorporate regular stretching routines into their daily lives.

I earned my degree in Psychology from UNC and my personal training certification through the National Academy of Sports Medicine. My specializations are in corrective exercise and nutrition and I have been helping people demystify exercise and identify their own path to wellness for close to 15yrs. I believe the uniqueness of every individual deserves to be celebrated in health and as humans we are all united in movement so my goal for all of us is to become the best versions of ourselves, adding more life to our years. Sound body, sound mind, sound life.
