Welcome to StretchLab Laguna Niguel

Ever since she was 3, Erin always loved dance. Trained in jazz, tap and hip hop for 17 years really continued to grow her passion in it. As her father worked in Hawaii, Erin had the desire to learn hula since a young child. At age 12 she joined a halau (hula school) danced professionally until 24 years old… she always loved expressing her passion for dance and hula with others. In May of 2019, Erin was hired at LA Fitness teaching Water Aerobics and a cardio/weight/core class! The joy of teaching and dance combined with being with good friends and other amazing instructors is truly a beautiful source of stress relief. It’s a wonderful way to forget about your outside life and take care of yourself emotionally and physically! Free time outside of work includes travel, good food and being with her 3 kiddos!

Is a Chiropractor who practices part time; A “week night athlete”who plays basketball, beach volleyball, and occasionally golf; and most importantly a girl dad to 2. Movement is key to living life. Stretching is one of the best ways to achieve that. I’ve learned this the hard way over my years as an athlete and working with athletes professionally. StretchLab is a great introduction and key element of that movement life skill. I love meeting and sharing knowledge of the body with people and in helping them move through life with greater ease as a result of the stretching techniques used at StretchLab - those same techniques that have improved movement in my own life.
