Welcome to StretchLab Howell

Hey everyone! I'm Richie Roberts. With a background in health science and athletics, I'm passionate about helping people through the power of stretching. Whether it's before or after a game of soccer (my favorite sport!), I believe that stretching plays a crucial role in both performance and overall wellness. After working in cryotherapy for a couple of years, I wanted a more hands-on approach to health and wellness and that's when I discovered my love for stretching. I have worked with StretchLab for over 3 years since they opened and am excited share my experience with everyone. Join me on this journey as we explore the incredible benefits of stretching and unlock our full potential together!

Hello, I’m Lisa – I became a part of the StretchLab team in 2023. I’ve been involved in the fitness and wellness industry for over 20 years, holding multiple national, and international certificates, including Yogafit, Matt Pilates, Group Core, Centergy, Group Active, Group Power, and Body Combat, to name a few. In my free time, I enjoy walking and hiking with my group; I started a private page during the pandemic, and it has grown to 1600 members! It's great to have like-minded individuals to get out there and explore with! I also enjoy traveling, cooking, wine tasting, and crazy things like goat, or paddle board yoga. I’ve been thrilled to add StretchLab's exclusive and extensive training to my portfolio. I very much enjoy the one on one aspect! It has been very rewarding to see, firsthand, the progress my clients are obtaining with regard to their flexibility and mobility goals. I hope to see you on my bench soon!

Hello, I’m Adnan “Love” Shamsi, a Flexologist, yoga instructor and personal trainer with over 15 years of experience helping people move, breathe, and feel better in their bodies. At StretchLab, I specialize in assisted stretching that combines breathwork, and nervous system regulation to release tension, improve mobility, and support recovery. I hold an MBA in Business and BA in Economics and pursued advanced training in Integral Yoga as well as certifications in personal training, assisted stretch therapy, and Reiki energy work. I draw on this diverse background to teach clients how to “use your breathwork to make your stretch work” and believe that motion is medicine for both body and mind. Before joining StretchLab, I owned and managed a yoga studio, founded wellness collectives and a regional music festival, and launched creative and community-based businesses that blended movement, music, and holistic health. My entrepreneurial spirit continues to shape my approach: every session is not just a stretch, but a guided journey toward freedom, calm, and connection. Outside the studio, I am a proud father, musician, and community builder who enjoys exploring festivals, writing, and curating events that bring people together for growth and joy.
