Welcome to StretchLab Redmond

I have been working in the health and fitness industry for 20yrs!  I’m am a Certified Personal Trainer, Corrective Exercise Specialist, Sports Nutritionist and Yin Yoga Instructor!  I use an intuitive approach to working with each individual using my education and years of experience while helping you reach your goals and what your body is telling me when I’m working with you.  My goal is to help you build a strong foundation of mobility, flexibility, and recovery so that your body can do all the things you demand of it and stay injury free too.  Helping people is my passion and I truly believe that taking care of your body has many benefits will keep you young and healthy for years to come.  When I’m not working with people or working in my own self-care, I am trying to drink coffee in peace - but my cat and dog usually join me… or seeing live music, traveling or getting my cardio on the dance floor! 

Certified Personal Trainer for 13 years NASM PTAG. I am in the health and fitness industry because I truly enjoy helping people feel better about themselves and live happier, healthier lives.

I have been passionate about the musculoskeletal system and movement as long as I can remember. I graduated from Western Washington University in June of 2023 with a Bachelor's Degree in Kinesiology with a specialization in Exercise Science. During that time, I also became certified in personal training by the American Council on Exercise. I have been actively personal training for about a year and have learned a great deal about stretching and how to improve physical health throughout the lifespan. I believe anyone can have major improvements in their physical health no matter their age, disabilities, or injuries. My goal is to educate not only myself but also others through their stretching journey.

I participated in both gymnastics and competitive dance in her youth, discovering yoga at 18 as a freshman in college. I connected right away to the physical practice and soon discovered the mental and spiritual connection yoga created space for. It wasn’t until I took my first teacher training that I learned the breadth of history and philosophy that is the practice of yoga. As an eager student, I began implementing daily meditation, ritual and study into her life. After many years of teaching almost daily, I developed my own 200hr yoga teacher training program and founded Discover Within Yoga. As the founder and academic director I offered 200hr teacher training programs, continuing education workshops and international yoga retreats. My breadth of knowledge comes from being a long time yoga practitioner and yoga student before I pursued teaching. Rebecca has trained all over the world with master teachers like Janet Stone, Baron Baptiste, David Swenson, Edward Clark, Rolf Gates and Shiva Kumar. I weaves into her classes pranayama, meditation, mythology and yoga philosophy so my students get the “whole” yoga experience. My passion is to empower and hold space for students to explore their internal landscape and discover power from within.

My athletic background as a competitive gymnast and diver in New England set the stage for my interest in health and fitness. I hold a BA from Smith College and have been working as both a massage therapist and personal trainer since 1991. I appreciate stretching as a vital technique for overall balance and health. I hope to help you incorporate and enjoy the benefits stretching as an integral part of your daily routine.
