Welcome to Stretchlab South Lamar

Hi there! A little bit about me & my background, I've been in the fitness industry for a little over 2 years but I just recently got my Personal Training certificate in July of 2023. I got into fitness because of how it made me feel a lot more confidence & it overall makes me happy to keep my body healthy & fit. When I'm not at StretchLab stretching clients I like being outdoors or working out.

I have been interested in helping people for a long time. I work at the Boys and Girls Club and also in college for physical therapy as well. StretchLab has helped me enhance my desire to help the people around me as well as keep my body healthy as well. My little brother was diagnosed with a rare disease that caused him to become immobile. But after 3-4 months with StretchLab he is able to get out of his wheelchair and bed on his own. It’s still a process but we are thankful for StretchLab and I am grateful to be a part of this team.

I studied Recreational Therapy and Kinesiology while in college. Throughout my years there,, I taught group fitness classes such as spinning and active stretching. Afterward, I worked both in inpatient psychiatry and independently as a recreational therapist, using people’s interests as therapeutic modalities to promote healthy lifestyle changes.When I wasn’t working with youth, I specialized in treating those with physical disabling conditions and limitations. I’m continuing to develop my knowledge regarding yoga and ways to improve the mind-body connection to advance in my career. Some of my passion for this field stems from my family’s long line of functionality challenges and my desire to learn about preventative measures for reducing the risk of those challenges for others. It’s a pleasure to continue to grow my skill set and to implement these services in the community!

I have been in the health and wellness industry for the last decade. I am currently studying at University of Texas for my Bachelors in Kinesiology. I am a certified personal trainer, and have been in the wellness industry for over 6 years! I am an Army Veteran, I am from the Bay Area originally, but Texas is home. I have a German Sheppard named Odin, and a very cute five year old named Liam. I am passionate about helping people. Authentic connection is what I thrive on, and I am grateful for the opportunity to serve the community!
