Welcome to StretchLab Shady Oak

I have my Bachelor’s in Exercise Physiology and a Minor in Psychology from Ohio University. I then spent the next couple years working as a sensory motor coach and director for neurodivergent kids to help them achieve their goals and improve their quality of life through exercise. I’ve always had a passion for helping people become the healthiest they can be, both physically and mentally, and it gives me so joy that I am able to make a career out of it! When I’m not in the studio, you can find me going for walks with my dogs, cooking new foods, playing board and card games, or planning my next adventure with my family!

I graduated from North Dakota State University with my Bachelors degree in Kinesiology, I am also a Certified Personal Trainer through NASM. Playing football, baseball and basketball for 14 years growing up really opened my eyes to how important stretching and strength exercises are. I also have seen how shoulder/knee/hip surgeries/replacements have affected my family and their everyday lives, which has inspired me to want to help improve the quality of life for others too. In my free time I enjoy resistance and cardio training, cycling, watching sports or relaxing at home.

My educational background is in exercise science and personal training. I have experience in a variety of rehabilitation settings such as memory care and cardiac rehab, but I found my passion in body optimization. I love helping people feel good in their bodies, and I find great fulfillment in helping them achieve their wellness goals. In my free time you can find me outside in nature or curled up with my cat and a good book. I enjoy exploring and trying new things, I am always learning.
