Welcome to StretchLab Belmar

My life has always revolved around outdoor activities based in Denver. I am a former Ski Patroller and spend my time in the Rocky Mountains (Climbing, Skiing, Fishing). As a masters student in Biomedical Engineering at CU Boulder, my passion for health and wellness extends from a balanced routine to patient treatment. It is a pleasure to use my experience and education as a Flexologist at StretchLab.

I'm Catherine, with over 14 years of experience in sports medicine, I work full-time as an athletic trainer, supporting high school student-athletes in everything from physical development and injury prevention to rehab and overall wellness. I have a BS in Athletic Training and a MS in Exercise Physiology. I’m also bilingual—my family is from Argentina and El Salvador. Outside of work, I love being active and enjoy skiing and mountain biking. I also enjoy crafting, reading, and cooking.

I am a Certified Personal Trainer with a background as a Chiropractic Assistant and currently training to become a Licensed Massage Therapist. I also hold a Certificate in Applied Stretching Theory and Practice, allowing me to take a well-rounded approach to movement, recovery, and pain relief. With over 10 years dedicated to becoming a movement specialist, I’m passionate about helping clients find relief and move better in everyday life. Outside the studio, I’m a two-wheel enthusiast on both street and dirt, and I’ve spent most of my life on roller skates.

I hold a Master of Science in Sports and Exercise Science with a focus in Biomechanics and a Bachelor of Arts in Kinesiology and Physical Education. I am an ACSM Certified Personal Trainer and Certified Exercise Physiologist, and I also hold a Certificate in Applied Stretching Theory and Practice, allowing me to deliver targeted, effective stretch sessions tailored to each client. As a Colorado native, I enjoy an active outdoor lifestyle including running, paddle boarding, Spartan and adventure racing, and gardening—plus the occasional HGTV binge. I’m passionate about holistic wellness and helping others improve mobility, reduce pain, and reach their physical and mental goals.

I hold a B.S. in Pre-Physical Therapy from Colorado Christian University and am an ACE Certified Personal Trainer, along with a Certificate in Applied Stretching Theory and Practice. My passion for health and fitness began in high school as a cross-country runner and has continued to grow through my education and hands-on experience. Originally from the Pacific Northwest, I now call Colorado home and enjoy staying active through hiking, running, lifting, swimming, and local outdoor races. I’ve worked as a swim instructor, group fitness instructor, personal trainer, and caregiver, and I love helping people stay healthy, active, and performing at their best. I look forward to stretching you!
