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.

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.
