Welcome to Stretchlab Thornwood

I graduated from the University if Wisconsin Parkside and majored in Exercise Science with a concentration in Strength and Conditioning along with a Spanish minor. Additionally, I ran cross country and track throughout college. I have had experience being a personal trainer and am ACSM certified. Now I run half marathons, marathons and Spartan races. Also, I love to hike, swim, jet ski and kayak. StretchLab allows me to help people with their flexibility, leaving them with a great feeling afterwards. Flexibility is important to have and the stretching that StretchLab does helps me move my hips more effectively when I exercise which will benefit anyone. The people are awesome and I love working here!

I have been a Massage Therapist for 17 years. Outside of the studio I enjoy biking, soccer, and fitness classes. I love being part of StretchLab because I love helping people feel better!
