Welcome to StretchLab Willow Glen

I’m passionate about working with professional athletes, children, and adults of all ages. I come from a background in chiropractic work, graduating from Palmer West Chiropractic School in 2014 and have been working as a mobile massage therapist for over 5 years. With experience in massage, stretching, and electrical stem, I understand the importance of corrective exercise instruction and listening to your body. I look forward to working with you at StretchLab!

Hello, my name is Jared. I am currently a student at San Jose State University majoring in kinesiology with an emphasis in exercise and fitness. I enjoy hanging out with friends, working out, and going to new restaurants. Ever since I was young, I enjoyed playing all kinds of sports and staying active. Through my previous experiences with working with chiropractors and athletic trainers, I found a passion to help people work towards healing their bodies or improving their fitness and health. I believe that everyone should be able to live a healthy and happy life, and I want to help them achieve that in any way I can.

I have a degree in Physical Education and have taught High School P.E. I have also used my physical education to offer personal training to others. One of my passions is pushing my own limits by training for triathlons. You may see me in Willow Glen running or riding my bike. I am excited to use my knowledge and experience to help my clients achieve their goals in a more efficient way. I look forward to helping you increase your range of motion and have a more flexible body!

Hi there, my name is Karina! I received my bachelor's degree from San Jose State University in Kinesiology, with an emphasis in Rehabilitation Science in 2019. After college, I began working as a physical therapy aide for 3 years in San Diego for an outpatient clinic. I recently received my Massage Therapy Certification from National Holistic Institute and continuing my education in pain management treatment! I grew up playing a variety of sports, but I found softball and volleyball to be my favorites. Through sports, I found my love of health and wellness, and I am excited to implement what I’ve learned so far to helping others in their own health and fitness journey!

Hello! My name is Maya and I have a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Dance from San Jose State University. I have been training in a large variety of dance styles since I was three years old and have participated in several other sports like track, volleyball, and swim throughout the years as well. I have had a love for movement and physical activity for as long as I can remember and am thrilled to assist in the health and well being of others through my work here at StretchLab.

Competing as an athlete in track and field and soccer, I experienced recurring injuries that prevented me from doing my best. I got a lot of attention from the kinesiology professionals working with my teams, sparking my interest in the profession, and leading to me shadowing a physical therapist at Sharp Hospital in San Diego. These influences encouraged me to pursue a kinesiology and sports medicine program at SJSU. I’m working at StretchLab to sharpen my skills and utilize the knowledge I’m learning in my program so I can pursue a career as a kinesiology professional!

Hi! Growing up in competitive dance, I’ve faced my own fair share of injuries and chronic pain. My background in Human Development Studies has also helped me really tune into what people need when it comes to healing and care. During the pandemic, I shifted my focus to becoming a personal caregiver for my family, especially supporting my grandmother through her Alzheimer’s journey. That experience opened my eyes to how important compassionate care is, and it inspired me to pursue a more holistic approach to pain relief. I’m passionate about helping people feel better and achieve their goals, and I’ve worked with all ages, so I’m excited to keep learning and growing in this field. StretchLab’s approach really aligns with my values, and I’m looking forward to bringing that mindset to my clients!
