Welcome to StretchLab Shaenfield

(SafeSport Certified) Born in San Antonio, and raised in Mission, TX, Jackie graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology with a focus in Athletic Medicine from The University of Texas at San Antonio in May of 2018. Since then she has geared her focus in the mental and physical wellness of many. She worked as a sensory motor coach at Brain Balance to address different sensory motor imbalances in children with special needs, aging from 4-18. She is also currently working as a physical therapy technician at a non-surgical center which has allowed her to work directly under skilled physical therapists and a physiatrist (physical medicine and rehabilitation physician) to gain an in-depth understanding of a non-surgical approach to rehabilitation. Along with this, shadowing a chiropractor who specializes in functional neurology allowed her to view rehabilitative therapy from different professions with the same ideal outcome. Being fit and health conscious allows her to practice what she preaches to promote healthy lifestyles to patients/ clients. Being personable, having patience, showing empathy, and compassion allows her to connect with people to reduce anxieties or stresses they may initially have. Through her involvements, she found gratification in building relationships with patients/ clients and is very excited to apply her knowledge at StretchLab.

It's been the pursuit of multiple tracks in life that have led me to the present: to work with others seeking to bring out the extraordinary in their lives. I began my professional career as a high school teacher and soccer coach. Over 20 years I've trained hundreds of people with wide-ranging goals: From the person with a back injury looking to reduce pain & build strength, to high school and college athletes looking to increase performance or win a scholarship. The common thread has been working together to make a path towards a better life. Along the way I've studied mindfulness meditation and yoga. I've intentionally engaged in a variety of opportunities to share and hone my coaching abilities. Through it all has been my love of learning, of knowing how things work, understanding and working with the intricacies of each individual’s needs and requirements towards improvement and, above all, connecting with and teaching others to empower themselves to reach their dreams and goals. Through the years I have done many certifications and clinics to improve my ability to serve people: NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, NASM Personal Trainer, Stick Mobility practitioner, FMS Functional Movement Screen specialist, as well Precision Nutrition Level 1 coach. How can I help you live your best life?

Born and raised in San Antonio, I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from the University of the Incarnate Word in 2020. I later went on to graduate and receive my Master’s degree in Athletic Training at the University of Texas at Arlington in 2023. I have experience working with athletes in the high school and collegiate settings. I enjoy helping others become and feel the best they can, which led me to this field of work. My goal is to continue to learn, grow as an individual, and help improve on my skills and my ability to help others who wish to feel and become healthy.

I was born and raised in the vibrant city of San Antonio, Texas. From a young age, I developed a deep passion for health and wellness, which was ignited by my love for playing soccer. It was during this time that I had the privilege of playing semi-professional soccer. Although my dreams of playing at the collegiate level and more were slightly deterred by an unfortunate injury, I used this setback as an opportunity for growth. The experience of being injured taught me the significance of rehabilitation and the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. It was through this process that my desire to help others unlock their own physical potential truly flourished. I understood firsthand how crucial it is to have guidance and support while striving towards our goals. After completing my education at Our Lady of the Lake University, where I earned a degree in kinesiology, I embarked on a remarkable journey to further explore my passions. I’ve worked in multiple physical therapy clinics, health shops, was a mentor and coach for young soccer players, and even had the opportunity to work with TMMTX in their prevention and rehab programs.

Originally from San Angelo TX, grew up with an athletic background I played various sports from playing soccer for 8 years, to baseball, football, track and some martial arts. My passion for helping others started back in 2018 where I began training clients at Golds Gym. I fell in love with being able to help people feel and look their best while instilling confidence in the individuals I worked with. I have a background in being a Sports Nutrition Expert for 5 Star Nutrition and Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals where I learned to write custom meal plans and make precise supplement recommendations based on the clients fitness goals. I have my CPT and Corrective Exercise Specialist Certifications from ISSA. Now I’m back and in the San Antonio market as a Flexologist with a Passion to see what I can help you achieve! Let’s get started!!

My name is Alan Josiel Hernandez. I am from San Antonio, Texas. I am a graduate from Southern Nazarene University where i received my bachelor’s degree in exercise science.
