Welcome to StretchLab Toronto West

Hi all, I am Rutuja, an internationally trained physiotherapy undergraduate from India. I've further enriched my skills with a certification in Clinical Kinesiology from Sheridan College and progressing toward becoming a certified Clinical Exercise Physiologist. I have worked with a wide variety of populations including chronic disease, para-athletes, and special needs clients, focusing on utilizing exercise therapy interventions to enhance strength and motor skills. The common thread uniting all these individuals is a holistic approach to wellness. Stretching being one of the crucial elements for the same. I assert strongly that muscles dictate the bones and bones support the body. Here at Stretch Lab, I aim to create a goal-oriented environment to help you find the root cause of biomechanical stresses on the body and improve your overall well-being.

Hello, I'm Farnia, a certified yoga instructor with three yoga certificates earned in India. Embarking on my yoga journey, I proudly received my first certificate at an early stage. Currently focusing on fitness and health promotion studies, I specialize as a flexologist, passionate about the art of stretching. Holding an anatomy certificate and dedicated to enhancing well-being through the transformative power of movement, my goal at Stretch Lab is to help people achieve healthier bodies through the benefits of stretching.

As a former natural bodybuilder, I have expertise in building lean muscle, weight loss, and nutrition. I understand the importance of incorporating a proper recovery routine, which is like maintaining a car to avoid frequent visits to the mechanic. Helping people is what fuels my day and led me to pursue massage therapy studies in 2020, enhancing my knowledge of anatomy and posture-related pain caused by anatomical imbalances.

"Hello, I’m Lalesca! I’ve been passionate about movement and wellness for as long as I can remember, it all started when I was introduced to dance at just two years old. Since then, movement has always been a big part of my life. But it wasn’t until 2022 that I truly listened to my inner voice and decided to pursue what brings me the most fulfillment: helping others feel stronger, more confident, and connected to their bodies through fitness. Since 2023, I’ve been working as a fitness coach, mainly focused on 1-on-1 training. I completed my Fitness & Health Promotion certificate in April 2025, and throughout this journey, I’ve learned how important it is to truly listen to my clients. Everyone has different goals, challenges, and priorities, and that’s why I make sure each program I create is personalized and thoughtful. What matters to my clients, matters deeply to me. Their wins are my wins. Alongside coaching, working as a Flexologist, and I can honestly say that helping people improve their lifestyle through stretching feels magical, and yet so real and meaningful to me. Supporting someone in reducing pain, moving more freely, and feeling better in their own body is a kind of fulfillment that’s hard to put into words. My approach is always grounded in care, empathy, and encouragement. I’m here to support people not just in reaching their goals, but in building a lifestyle that feels good and sustainable for them."
