Welcome to StretchLab Buckhead

I have a degree in Kinesiology from Georgia State University. I have worked in Physical Therapy clinics, been involved with public health initiatives, competed with the Powerlifting Club, and coached athletes at both Georgia Tech University and in the private sector. In the past two years, I've become more interested in therapeutic modalities and the relationship to performance and development of people. Due to that, I've become interested in manual manipulation, massage therapy, yoga, stretching, and how they can and should be used for self-improvement. In my free time, I love to perform training and improving how my body feels and moves. I like to train every day, be it stretching, yoga, weightlifting, calisthenics, even martial arts. Another activity I love to do is playing with poi where the practitioner uses typically orb-shaped implements to perform various movements that create a visual effect from the implement. The are many forms of these implements that range from LED poi to Fire poi and wands and staffs. One of the reasons why I love working at StretchLab is because I get to make a real connection with the clients that I am working with. I’m able to teach them about their bodies in a way that improves how they think about self-care and improvement in daily quality of life. I am able to use the knowledge that I've gained to help people feel better, which is incredibly fulfilling

I’m an Athletic Trainer and I’ve worked with collegiate athletes for about 3 years now while also having the chance to work with 3 NFL players. For activities, I enjoy all aspects of fitness and I strive to do something different every day. My favorites are weightlifting, hiking, long-boarding, biking, and fishing. What I love about StretchLab is having the opportunity to find out what an individual's motivation is. Whether it’s getting ready for a marathon, the next football game, or reducing aches from a long day of work; it’s a great feeling being able to make a positive impact and improve someone’s performance.

I graduated with a Bachelors in Exercise Science, am an ACSM certified Exercise Physiologist and have been a Personal Trainer and Group Fitness Instructor for four years. I enjoy traveling, attending sporting events, music festivals, and taking on new creative endeavors. What I love about StretchLab is the ability to experience the journey of progress with people that all have different bodies and different personalities. It is an incredibly rewarding process to be part of!

I grew up in Blue Ridge, Georgia and I earned a full-ride scholarship to play offensive line at Georgia Southern University where I was a part of three Championships, as well as made the dean's list and athletic honor roll multiple times. After being sidelined due to injury I was able to gain invaluable work experience in physical therapy and as a Division 1 strength coach while finishing my BS In Exercise Science with minors in coaching, nutrition, psychology, and earned my CSCS (Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist) after. I spend much of my free time with my girlfriend and our two dogs and always trying to see as many concerts/festivals/shows as I can. I love whitewater rafting and get paid to do it! I tend to surprise people with a variety of interests and experiences I can enjoy or relate to which motivates me to be as open-minded towards any and all people, experiences, and ways of thinking in life. StretchLab has provided me with a unique opportunity as an exercise specialist to evolve my knowledge and experience and directly apply it to my daily work and life. As a former division 1 athlete, I was always looking to better my body and mind and discovered that the more I improved my ability to move with comfort and ease through improved flexibility I discovered an evolving world of self-improvement that allows me to deal with my injuries and the ever-changing demands on my body and mind and help my clients do the same. If you're in pain, stiff, or tight, it's impossible to attain your maximum potential. Yes, keeping your body improves performance in sports and exercise more effectively. But, your physical health and daily stress response have a huge impact on your mental, emotional, and physical well-being in the short and long term. If you are unsure what a personalized stretch and professional guidance to achieve lasting success I would love to show you how to become your optimal self.

I am a certified yoga instructor with 200+ hours of training in the physical practice of yoga, breathwork, and meditation. I have been practicing yoga for 18 years and have been sharing & teaching my love for movement for the past 3 years. I strive to create a safe space for my students to explore their practice in an inspiring and personal way. My goal is to always provide others with whatever their mind, body, and soul need. Since being diagnosed with a chronic illness in 2018, I have been a huge advocate for health & aim to support & inspire others on their own wellness journey. I love StretchLab because I get that opportunity to help people, from all walks of life, achieve their fullest potential. I believe that every person deserves to live a fulfilled life by doing the things they love. When you feel better, you live better! When I'm not in service to others, you can find me playing my piano, cooking vegan food, or creating yoga content for my YouTube channel.

I am a Certified Personal Trainer with a Bachelor's Degree in Exercise Science from Georgia State University, and I am currently pursuing a Doctorate in Physical Therapy at the University of Saint Augustine University of Health Sciences. A few of my favorite hobbies are exploring Atlanta and its' surrounding nature reserves, as well as spending quality time with my friends and family. I'm passionate about improving health and wellness because I grew up playing sports and seeing how education has advanced to new heights. I am excited to be part of the StretchLab team because the environment allows clients to understand why and what they need to do to improve their health. When people see results, the journey is worthwhile!

I am a graduate of North Carolina A&T State University with a Bachelor’s in exercise science, and I am currently working on my Master’s in exercise science at Georgia State University! At the age of 8 I found out Dance is my passion where I find most of my enjoyment. I’ve danced as a competitive studio dancer, on a hbcu danceline, NFL cheerleader, and a part of many professional dance gigs. I spend most of my time coaching at a competition dance studio, eating, and enjoying time with loved ones! I love fashion and having fun! I love StretchLab because I enjoy helping others and making them feel better! I love the fact that no matter the client with consistency we have solution and we can make a difference in their lives!

I graduated from Southern Connecticut State University with a B.S in Exercise Science with a concentration in Human Performance. My own experience in nursing homes, physical therapy clinics, and health centers allows me to professionally assist others in their fitness and rehabilitation journey with personal training sessions. My passion is to help, restore, and maintain people’s health. As an exercise physiologist and human performance coach for 3 years, I provide physical activity and nutritional recommendations for people who want to improve their overall health. I enjoy playing basketball, traveling the world, and trying new restaurants. I love the family atmosphere StretchLab has created and also the professional services they provide!

I have been with StretchLab since March of 2022 and have a passion for both art and holistic well-being. I bring a unique blend of artistic vision and therapeutic expertise to my work, and as a 200-hour trauma-informed yoga teacher, I utilize my experience in mind/body connection to guide clients through an educational and transformative session. By combining assisted stretching with restorative yoga poses, I facilitate clients to truly experience the benefits of StretchLab and ensure they leave feeling brighter and more connected.

I received my bachelor’s degree in exercise science from Georgia State University. Along with my studies in school, I have worked in a physical therapy clinic in company with multiple physical therapists who educated me as they performed their specialized skills. In my free time I enjoy working out, making fitness related content, and trying new restaurants. I love the atmosphere that StretchLab presents, it is a welcoming environment where everyone who comes in is determined to become a better version of themselves. My goal here at StretchLab is to help you to reach and attain your desired goals!

I've taught aerial dance, flexibility, and fitness classes for the past five years, and I've been an aerialist for six years. When I first started aerial dance, I had no dance experience and was pretty sedentary, but I fell in love with having to focus on strength, flexibility, and body awareness. Most of all, I enjoy creating choreography and watching my students progress in their journey. Along with teaching aerial dance, I'm also a clinical exercise science student at Georgia Gwinnett College and will graduate in the spring of 2025! When I'm not dancing, teaching, or lesson planning for classes, I'm cooking a new recipe, playing pickleball (not well), or cuddling with my fluffy Maine Coon cat. My other interests include painting, interior design, and learning/trying new things. I'm always searching for a new hobby or skill to try! For my sport, a huge amount of flexibility is required to perform well, and assisted stretch allows me to increase my range of motion, more so than I could on my own. Whether you're an aerial dancer, soccer player, parent, or office worker, flexibility is a requirement to move independently in your daily life. The body craves a variety of movement, and the Flexologists at StretchLab provide the guidance necessary to increase flexibility.
