Welcome to StretchLab Cherry Creek

Lisa is a certified yoga, meditation guide and practitioner with over 6 years of experience, and over a thousand hours of teaching and continuing education. She is also a certified Nutrition Therapy Master helping to create wellness through movement, meditation, and nutrition. Preferring to teach yoga that contains challenging or restorative poses over high intensity practices; she believes that when we begin to slow down and utilize yoga to create presence, it can not only stimulate the body, but soothe the mind, and soul. Becoming a certified Flexologist has created another avenue to tap into the intelligence of the body through assisted stretching. Yoga is an active way of not only stretching the body but building strength and balance. While working one on one with a stretching program is a passive, but interactive way to bring greater range of motion, increased body/mind awareness, and an overall sense of wellbeing. She believes that within the role of Flexologist, she has found even more opportunities to do what she loves, and help people move beyond their injuries and limitations to find more flexibility not only in the body, but in mind.

I graduated from CU Boulder in 2022 on the Pre-Physical Therapy track majoring in Integrative Physiology. I played competitive volleyball growing up and enjoy weight training and helping others start their fitness journey and grow their confidence. I love supporting and encouraging others to be the best version of themselves which is why I am so happy to be at StretchLab helping people recover, prevent injury, and improve their quality of movement in day to day life. The joy of seeing people progress is one of my favorite things. Outside of StretchLab I enjoy going to the gym, taking workout classes with my Grandma, hiking, drinking coffee, and working on my Pilates Teacher Training! I grew up in Japan and have been very fortunate to have been able to travel all over and experience a variety of cultures at a young age. I am so excited to meet everyone who walks through the doors of StretchLab and help you reach your fitness goals!

I graduated from MSU Denver in 2023 with a degree in Athletic Training. While currently working as a certified athletic trainer, I believe that wellness, recovery, and flexibility are important for all people, not just athletes. I danced for a good part of my life and began teaching at my hometown studio for a couple years learning different ways to educate people how to move. I joined StretchLab to spread my love for movement to anyone that walks through the door. In my free time I enjoy trying to find my next favorite book or hiking with my dog.

Helping people balance self-improvement with contentment in order to lead more aware and fulfilling lives is my “Why”. I have always had a passion for health and fitness and helping others. I was a Junior Olympics fencer, practiced Jeet Kune Do, and enjoyed yardwork and stonework growing up in the Hudson Valley region of NY. In the Navy I was “The Pushup King” and loved training other shipmates on the submarine in physical fitness. I also became skilled in boxing and muay thai during my 6 years of service. After an Honorable discharge I became a personal trainer, was a nuclear plant operator for 3 years, completed multiple exercise programs (my design and others), got into figure modeling, started my love of yoga, was introduced to acro, started racing (mostly obstacle course racing, ranging from 5k’s to 50k’s), and earned a degree in Exercise Science & Wellness. I then moved from NY to SC and completed my formal RYT-200 hour with Blue Turtle Yoga, continued teaching, earned a degree in Organizational Management, and deepened my acro practice. I am also a certified NSCA Strength and Conditioning Specialist, Spartan Group X Coach, Apex Fitness Professional, CPR/AED/First Aid certified, and TRX qualified with over 2 decades of training experience. I also aced a trimester of chiropractic college. I have been in CO since August 2018 and worked at a local moving company. I have taught and performed acro, put together and ran mobile ninja courses, lead Spartan workouts and obstacle specialist courses, and met the love of my life here! Hiking (small walks to 14er’s and everything in between), climbing, snowshoeing, swimming, tubing, playing dodgeball and volleyball, and visiting hot springs are additional activities I enjoy. My love and I also host a 13 week health and wellness program thru our business, Dragonfly Wellness.

I am originally from Georgia where I lived for sixteen years until I moved to North Carolina. I graduated from UNC Charlotte with a BS in Exercise Science and a MS in Kinesiology with a concentration in Clinical Exercise Physiology. I have previously worked in Cardiac and Cancer Rehab where I loved helping patients improve their quality of life through exercise. I then started working at StretchLab in Charlotte where I was able to continue to pursue my passion of helping others’ quality of life through movement. I have always loved being active and my favorite ways to do that are weight training and MMA. I enjoy being outside and am super excited to explore Colorado as a new resident! I am very happy to be a part of the StretchLab Cherry Creek team and look forward to helping people reach their goals!

Born and raised in Colorado, I have always drawn inspiration from nature and movement. I earned a Bachelor's degree in Health and Exercise Science, a 200-hour yoga teacher certification, and have logged countless hours in physical therapy clinics and medical offices, all of which have shaped my deep understanding of the body. When I am not at StretchLab, I share my wellness expertise through herbalism. As a certified Clinical Herbalist,I support my community both at a local apothecary and through personalized assessments in my own practice. Passionate about helping others navigate the complexities of physical, emotional, and spiritual health, I find deep purpose in the support I can offer to the community. I believe that movement is medicine and knowledge is power! I am excited to support the Cherry Creek community through education and effective, relaxing stretches!

With a degree in Exercise Science and Physiology, I am passionate about understanding the human body and its capabilities. As I prepare to further my education in Biomechanics, my goal is to blend my academic background with a lifelong love for sports and physical activity. Whether I'm hiking through the wilderness or competing in team and individual sports, I am driven by a commitment to optimizing performance and well-being. My journey is fueled by a desire to help others achieve their physical potential and lead healthier lives.

I grew up in Philadelphia, moved around a bit and now found myself in the mountains! I have always had a passion for fitness growing up as a competitive figure skater and track athlete. In college I decided I wanted to make a career out of it! At the University of Tennessee I graduated with a degree in kinesiology and psychology with a health focus. I continued to grow my knowledge by becomes a NASM certified personal trainer with a corrective exercise specialty and 200-hr yoga teacher. I quickly noticed being hands on with a client was the best way to help them feel their best! So, I went back to school to become a licensed massage therapist. I believe seeing and feeling how the body moves is the best way to help with balance and alignment! I look forward to continuing to help people move their best at StretchLab!

With a background in Athletic Training, education, and a lifelong passion for fitness, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals improve mobility, prevent injuries, and optimize performance. I began my career in the Northeast working in collegiate athletics as an Athletic Trainer and then transitioned into healthcare at DJO Global where I supported individuals recovering after injury or surgery through education on proper use of prescribed medical equipment and orthopedic bracing. I spent time working at Equinox fitness clubs and then later with Peloton Interactive allowed me to tailor solutions to clients’ unique wellness goals and individual needs with personalized membership and product recommendations. My experience in the corporate world even included a brief stint working in a fully remote setting that has given me a deep understanding of the mobility challenges faced by professionals who spend long hours sitting and/or in front of screens. In my free time, you can find me running, attending local yoga classes, cooking at home or creating art. I believe in the power of movement to enhance overall well-being, and am excited to bring my expertise to StretchLab to help you move better, recover faster, and live a healthier life.
