Hi, I’m Tia! I’m certified in fitness, nutrition, health, and mindset. I became a Flexologist because I know firsthand how important mobility and flexibility are as we age—not only for overall health, but also for improving performance in the gym and in everyday life. I’m passionate about helping people move better so they can feel stronger, more confident, and enjoy the things they love with greater ease. My focus is on mobility for daily life, and I love seeing clients leave a stretch session feeling refreshed, more open, and ready to take on their day. Outside of StretchLab, I love backpacking and spending quality time with my family—they’re truly my world.
