Welcome to Stretchlab River Oaks

I graduated from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette with my Bachelor’s in Kinesiology Exercise Science. I have 2 and a half years of experience at a physical therapy clinic as a PT technician. I enjoy spending my free time outdoors watching sunsets, swimming, or writing poetry. What I love about StretchLab is my ability to fulfill my passion in assisting others with achieving their personal goals of stretching.

I have taught Kinesiology and love doing anything sports related! My favorite thing about StretchLab is that I have the ability to change my client's quality of life by assisting them in their stretch.

Hometown: Houston, TX Education / Certifications: B.S. Kinesiology- Exercise Science Why StretchLab: Stretching is a crucial part of not only sports performance but overall everyday mobility, to be a part of a company that believes in and emphasizes this would be beneficial in how I want to grow in the fitness industry Hobbies: Cycling & Cooking Guilty Pleasure: Margaritas & Birria Tacos What my friends say about me: My friends would describe me as persistent and hardworking.

I am from Houston and hold various certifications including IFPA Personal Trainer, TRX and AFAA Group Exercise. With having a personal training and physical therapy background, StretchLab opens up a combination of the two. The instruction of the stretches brings out my coaching side and wanting members to reach their results. Using these techniques to help clients accelerate recovery, prevent injury and improve performance, is reminiscent of my days as a PT Tech. When not stretching and training clients I enjoy sketching comics, watching documentaries, car shows (particularly Mustangs), MMA training, training for Tough Mudders’ & Spartan Races, cooking and researching vegetarian options, maintaining my past bartending/mixing skills as well as trying the newest craft beers and spirits. My guilty pleasure is to hate-watch “Harley Quinn” (animation show) on HBO Max. As for what my friends say about me - My (Do I have any) FRIENDS??!??

I have a bachelor of science in kinesiology with a concentration in exercise physiology and a minor in business administration. I chose the stretch lab because I have a passion for health and wellness and want to help people feel better. My hobbies are nature walks and traveling. I love traveling all around the world and getting my passport stamped. My guilty pleasure is naps. I love to take naps, and they can be really long sometimes. My friends say that I am easygoing and unapologetically myself, really taking the time to care for the everyday person.

Adopted at the age of 4 from Chile, I grew up and was raised in Houston then lived three years in The Netherlands where I graduated high school at The American School of the Hague. I started my Bachelor in Exercise Science and Health at St Edwards in Austin, TX, and finished the degree by graduating from the University of Houston. I have been working in the fitness world for ten years and partnered in owning a boutique fitness studio for three of those years. Recently I worked as a Physical Therapist technician but now I am honored to be part of Stretch Lab. The benefits and importance of stretching pertain to everyone - no matter their situation. If I’m not working out in my free time, then I’m playing with my two pups, completing jig-saw puzzles or LEGOS with my hubby, or enjoying the outdoors. I’m a picky foodie usually and have a hard time turning down sweet treats. My friends compliment me as being creative, observant, and caring.
