Welcome to StretchLab Highlands Ranch

Hi! I’m Madi and I am the studio manager at our Highlands Ranch studio. I received my Bachelor’s degree from CU Boulder in Integrative Physiology and am currently pursuing my Master’s degree in Sports Management through University of Northern Colorado. I first started my StretchLab journey as a Flexologist at our Lone Tree studio in April of 2022 and transitioned into the studio manager role in May of 2023! I thought I wanted to go into Physical Therapy, but found a passion for the business world and have loved it ever since then. Combining fitness, sports, and business was something I never thought I would do, but have found it truly fulfilling. StretchLab has given me the opportunity to work with and lead amazing teams all of which have become my second family. When I am not at the studio, I am usually at yoga, concerts, or hanging out on the couch with my dog Jessie!

I graduated from Fort Lewis College with a Bachelor's of Exercise Science with an emphasis in Exercise Physiology and a minor in Business Administration. Throughout my time in college, I had the pleasure of working with the Durango Dynomite Special Olympics Teams as a certified volleyball and basketball coach. As a coach, I was able to watch my athletes work hard and reach their goals and knew this is something I’d want to do for years to come. Born and raised in Colorado, I have always lived an active life. My summers are full of hiking, paddleboarding, and walking my dog, Mabel. In the winter, you can find me snowboarding and snowshoeing. While I am unsure of my long term career goals, StretchLab is the perfect place to keep exploring my passions of being active and helping others.

Hi there! My name is Gabe Ramos, and I am a California native, who studied Kinesiology with an emphasis in Exercise Science at Azusa Pacific University and finished my undergrad at Colorado Christian University here in Lakewood, Colorado. I wanted to pursue this field of movement of the body, health and wellness because of how much I know that exercise and recovery changed my life. I am now getting my Masters in Psychology as well and the benefits that movement, exercise, recovery, and nutrition have on the mind as well are exponential. I played baseball collegiately at both schools I attended for undergrad and played professionally for a little bit and my knowledge and fascination with health, wellness, and recovery made a huge impact on how I played. I have had an extensive background in strength and conditioning and nutrition but nothing on the Physical Therapy side of things. This is what brought me to StretchLab! I have had the ability to work for many places who are under the umbrella of Kinesiology, but I can tell you that StretchLab is one of a kind with the heart and purpose of enhancing the lives of those who want to live life on a daily basis with the freedom to move. Movement and exercise are our medicine and if we are not taking advantage of this amazing resource then we are not even close to the potential of how amazing we could feel. Health and wellness aren't all about working out and nutrition, it also has a lot to do with how we take care of our bodies physiologically. Stretching regularly provides benefits like no other to our bodies and can enhance our health more than we could comprehend. Here at StretchLab we are individuals qualified with the experience, knowledge and background to provide a service for you that will only help you live life functionally and mobile.

Hey my name is Braden or you could call me B. I was born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada. I got my bachelors degree in Sports and Exercise Science from the University of Northern Colorado before I moved back to Las Vegas to work as a Physical Therapy tech for three years before I decided it was time to move back to Colorado. I grew up playing baseball year round and that sparked an interest in health and fitness. My interest in health and fitness pursued me to bodybuilding and competing in shows. During that time I realized how important mobility and stretching was in every aspect of our lives. Outside of work I enjoy lifting weights, cooking, and fishing.

Hi my name is Brooke! I am from New Hampshire and just moved out to Colorado this summer. I went to Plymouth State University in the White Mountains of New Hampshire where I got my Bachelor's of Science in Allied Health Sciences with a minor in Psychology! This is where I found my fondness for skiing which resulted in a common ski injury, a torn ACL and MCL. This fueled my passion of rehabilitation and recovery with the importance of incorporating stretching into my routine. At PSU I was able to shadow the DPT student during their clinical work in the Pro Bono Clinic through the university. I am planning on pursuing a career as an Occupational Therapist which I am currently applying to schools for! Outside of StretchLab I would most likely be found in the mountains, skiing or hiking!

Hi, I’m Tiago Pinto, and I’m thrilled to be part of the StretchLab team! Originally from Portugal, I moved to Colorado in 2021 to attend Colorado Christian University, where I played Division 2 soccer and graduated with a bachelor's degree in Kinesiology and Exercise Science. Growing up, I was constantly active and developed a lifelong passion for sports—especially soccer, which I started playing at just four years old and haven’t stopped since! My background in kinesiology and competitive athletics has given me a deep understanding of the benefits of movement, mobility, and personalized fitness, which I’m excited to bring to my clients. I believe that stretching and mobility aren’t just about physical health—they’re essential for mental well-being, too. Outside of work, you’ll find me experimenting in the kitchen, cooking meals to share with friends, or exploring new sports and activities. I’m passionate about helping people reach their potential, move with freedom, and discover the many ways physical wellness can transform life!

Hi! My name is Lexy. I graduated from Brigham Young University with a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise and Wellness in April of 2023. During school I worked as a PT Tech and loved one-on-one patient experience and getting to apply what I was learning in school. After graduating, I became a nanny. A year passed and I realized how much I missed growing my knowledge of the human body. There is always something to learn, which brought me to Stretch Lab. I am excited to grow relationships through helping clients move their bodies and feel better overall. I know there is so much benefit in what we do here at Stretch Lab and I love that I get to explore this passion every day.
