Welcome to Stretchlab Toronto Downtown

As a health and wellness enthusiast, I believe everyone should have the mobility and strength to live long, healthy, and pain-free life. Being a certified personal trainer with ISSA and a student of the Fitness and Health Promotion at Humber College, my knowledge of movement mechanics allows me to create a stretch program plan to optimize the healing/recovery process for people. Ultimately, my passion to promote wellness whilst helping people have the best experience possible here at StretchLab, is rooted in the “mens sana in corpore sano” principle which translates to” a healthy body in a healthy mind”.

I am a senior stretch therapist with over 2,000 hours of experience under my belt. Beyond being a flexologist, I am also in my final year of massage therapy school, on my path to becoming an RMT, a certified Thai yoga massage practitioner, and a psychology student. I am deeply passionate about the human body and the healing arts. Over the past few years, I've been helping people move more gracefully, free from pain. When you choose to work with me, you will naturally be guided to slow down and focus on your breath and body awareness.

My name is Brian Garcia! I’m a Kinesiology graduate from the University of Toronto. Aside from being a Flexologist here at StretchLab, I’m also a Personal Trainer. All that to say, I’m well aware of how the body moves and (more importantly) how it should move. I’m passionate about helping people achieve a better quality of life by not only improving strength, but also their functional mobility! I believe in: “movement is medicine”, or “motion is lotion”

Hi, I'm Winnie! As a former competitive dancer, I have been passionate about stretching and mobility for as long as I can remember.

Whether you're seeking to relieve aches and pains, striving to enhance athletic performance, or working towards specific flexibility goals - I look forward to working with you!

With sports being a big part of my life since a young age, it has taught me the importance of movement and living an active lifestyle. My passion for sports led me to become a Kinesiology graduate from the University of Toronto, in addition to becoming a personal trainer. Today’s society places too much emphasis on aesthetics (i.e. gaining lean muscle) & not enough on function (i.e. mobility). At StretchLab I want to be able to help and educate individuals on how we can all live a pain free, healthy & active life. P.S. Being strong and healthy never goes out of style!

My name is Daniel Laurenza, and my educational background consists of both a Bachelor's degree in Kinesiology, and Masters degree in Kinesiology & Health Science (specialized in Neuroscience & Biomechanics). I also work as an R.KIN in occupational fitness assessment, certified with the College of Kinesiologists of Ontario. My academic journey quickly ignited my interest and passions for human anatomy and physiology, and I found myself curious as to how these principles have real-world application towards functional movement optimization for all populations. It's my goal as a Flexologist to combine the knowledge and technical skills I've developed in my past, with the highly specialized stretching modalities at StretchLab, to positively and productively impact the lives of all of my clients. Concurrently, I am to prioritize knowledge translation as a pillar of my work as a Flex, to help my clients understand exactly HOW and WHY movement and stretching is paramount to living their healthiest, best life.
