Welcome to Stretchlab Vinnin Square

I have been in the health and fitness industry since 2010 when I earned my personal training certification. I have been an early childhood educator for over 30 years, including special needs for the past 18 years. I am very passionate about helping others. I have an amazing daughter who has grown into an incredibly independent and happy woman. When not in the studio I am with my too busy boys that I nanny. I have been with this family for 8 years. The best way to start my day is watching the sun come up followed by some weight training in the gym. I love being active and I am always continuing my education.

Hi, I’m Natalie. I am a recent graduate of Salem State University where I obtained my degree in exercise science with a concentration in Pre-Rehabilitation. I have a previous background working in outpatient physical therapy clinics where I learned about improving patient movement, health, and overall well being. Based on my experience, I learned the importance of stretching and the long term overall benefits it can provide for people. One of my greatest passions in my life was dancing. Dancing allowed me to move with fluidity, but it also taught me the importance of stretching in order to strengthen my technique. A quote that I live by is “movement is medicine”. When we are able to move freely without feeling pain, our overall physical and mental health will be so much better off! My goal as flexologist is to help improve flexibility, range of motion, and contribute to future wellness and longevity of my clients! Working at StretchLab and being apart of a team where I am always learning new skills and being surrounded by positivity is what helps me stay devoted. I am eager to meet new clients and look forward to helping them on their journey with flexibility, mobility, and overall wellness.

Hi, my name is Alejandro! I graduated from Salem State University with a Bachelor's degree in Exercise Science in 2019 and graduated from the University of Massachusetts Boston with a Master's degree in Applied Exercise Physiology in 2022. I have over five years of experience in the Physical Therapy setting as I enjoy helping people recover and get back on their feet. Through that experience, I have learned that proper and specific stretching can speed up the recovery and healing process. Stretching has a ton of benefits both physically and mentally! I also believe that exercise and stretching is medicine which can help heal all aspects of someone's life. I am very passionate about exercise, stretching, and the anatomy & physiology of the body. I grew up playing sports such as Baseball and Basketball and if "you feel good, you play good" and by being a Flexologist, I can help apply that to all your activities of daily living and quality of life.

I am a passionate and determined individual whose life has been shaped by athleticism, resilience, and an unwavering pursuit of my dreams. From a young age, I displayed immense talent and enthusiasm for sports, establishing myself as a life-long athlete. After suffering a shoulder injury while playing football at the Div 1AA collegiate level, I made the difficult decision to leave the sport behind and focus on golf. Through relentless practice and unwavering commitment to the craft, I achieved a career low of 64 on a championship-level course, fueling my visions of playing the game at the highest levels. However, my journey took an unexpected turn as my body succumbed to further injuries, hindering my ability to play the sport I had grown to love. For years, I searched in vain for solutions to my injuries, both medically and holistically, and began losing hope that I would ever regain my peak performance. That was until I discovered StretchLab. With just a few sessions under the guidance of a Flexologist, I felt my body opening up and my pain levels receding. Thanks to consistent stretching at StretchLab, my dreams of playing golf at a high level have been revitalized. Inspired by my transformative experience, I decided to become a Flexologist myself, eager to share the benefits of assisted stretching with others. Whether it's to improve daily activities or achieve peak physical performance, I look forward to helping you reach your personal goals through the power of assisted stretching.
