Welcome to StretchLab Desert Ridge

Hi! My name is Ashley. I’m originally from East Tennessee and moved to Arizona in 2011. I became a certified personal trainer in 2006 through the National Academy of Sports Medicine. In addition to my certification, I hold a degree in Exercise Science and a specialization in Sports and Nutrition. For the past three years, I’ve loved being a part of the StretchLab team, where I’m passionate about supporting others on their health and wellness journeys. Outside of work, I enjoy roller skating, creating art, and riding my Harley.

I practice Yoga, breath-work and meditation, and like to bring a grounded energy to my sessions. My goal is to cultivate and help restore balance in the body and mind. I enjoy baking, motorcycle riding, teaching, and conversations over coffee!

Hi, I'm Jaime. I moved to Arizona in 2006 from Colorado. I was in the IT field for almost 20 years and switched professions back in 2018. I believe "A happy body, is a body in motion". I have a background as a physical therapy technician and massage therapist. I have a thirst for knowledge and always looking for ways to assist in relieving pain, one body at a time. I do everything from manual therapy to stretching and relaxation. I joined the StretchLab team because it also has the same focus. Outside of all the work fun, my hobbies include dancing, hiking, and walking my 2 pups every day.
