Welcome to StretchLab Toronto Downtown

As a health and wellness enthusiast, I believe everyone should have the mobility and strength to live long, healthy, and pain-free life. Being a certified personal trainer with ISSA and a student of the Fitness and Health Promotion at Humber College, my knowledge of movement mechanics allows me to create a stretch program plan to optimize the healing/recovery process for people. Ultimately, my passion to promote wellness whilst helping people have the best experience possible here at StretchLab, is rooted in the “mens sana in corpore sano” principle which translates to” a healthy body in a healthy mind”.

My name is Brian Garcia! I’m a Kinesiology graduate from the University of Toronto. Aside from being a Flexologist here at StretchLab, I’m also a Personal Trainer. All that to say, I’m well aware of how the body moves and (more importantly) how it should move. I’m passionate about helping people achieve a better quality of life by not only improving strength, but also their functional mobility! I believe in: “movement is medicine”, or “motion is lotion”

Hi, I'm Winnie! As a former competitive dancer, I have been passionate about stretching and mobility for as long as I can remember. Professionally, I completed my BScH in Life Science at Queen's University and worked as a Clinical Research Coordinator in diabetes and endocrinology before transitioning into a career in Private Equity. I'm thrilled to be bringing my passions full-circle as I truly believe that StretchLab is filling a prominent void in the health and wellness industry. Whether you're seeking to relieve aches and pains, striving to enhance athletic performance, or working towards specific flexibility goals - I look forward to working with you!

I am a Mindfulness Life Coach and yoga instructor dedicated to helping people heal physical trauma in the body through stretching, breathwork and mindfulness. I guide others in shifting from the mind into the body by combining Western mindfulness practices, rooted in self-compassion, with yogic pranayama meditations. My approach is further informed by my study of Compassionate Inquiry with Dr. Gabor Maté, a therapeutic method that helps uncover and heal trauma stored in the body. Breathwork, in particular, plays a vital role in this healing, allowing us to release deep-seated physical and emotional pain.

Hi there! My name is Carol. Aside from being a Flexologist, I am a Certified Exercise Physiologist. I love exploring the why behind how the body moves. I completed a bachelors degree in Health and Physical Education as well as a master’s degree in Fitness Science at York University. I have a varied background in sports, group fitness and exercise physiology which has given me experience working with a wide variety of individuals. I have a strong passion in educating those I work with so that they can build the confidence to live and move pain free through strength and stretching.

Hello, My name is Jermal and I’m a dedicated Flexologist. With a foundation as a former collegiate football player and a National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) Certified Personal Trainer, I bring a unique perspective to flexibility and movement. Utilizing my Personal Training and athletic background, I specialize in crafting personalized flexibility plans that enhance mobility and overall well-being. My goal is to guide positive change and offer unwavering support on your path to greater physical freedom.

With sports being a big part of my life since a young age, it has taught me the importance of movement and living an active lifestyle. My passion for sports led me to become a Kinesiology graduate from the University of Toronto, in addition to becoming a personal trainer. Today’s society places too much emphasis on aesthetics (i.e. gaining lean muscle) & not enough on function (i.e. mobility). At StretchLab I want to be able to help and educate individuals on how we can all live a pain free, healthy & active life. P.S. Being strong and healthy never goes out of style!

My name is Daniel Laurenza, and my educational background consists of both a Bachelor's degree in Kinesiology, and Masters degree in Kinesiology & Health Science (specialized in Neuroscience & Biomechanics). I also work as an R.KIN in occupational fitness assessment, certified with the College of Kinesiologists of Ontario. My academic journey quickly ignited my interest and passions for human anatomy and physiology, and I found myself curious as to how these principles have real-world application towards functional movement optimization for all populations. It's my goal as a Flexologist to combine the knowledge and technical skills I've developed in my past, with the highly specialized stretching modalities at StretchLab, to positively and productively impact the lives of all of my clients. Concurrently, I am to prioritize knowledge translation as a pillar of my work as a Flex, to help my clients understand exactly HOW and WHY movement and stretching is paramount to living their healthiest, best life.

I'm Kubra, a graduate of Bahçeşehir University with a bachelor's degree in Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation. I've specialized in orthopedics and have worked extensively with athletes. Additionally, I graduated from the Fitness and Health Promotion program at Humber College and hold certification as a personal trainer. My aim in life is to demonstrate to people that pain-free exercise is possible and to show them that they can achieve it. I would like to help people lead a pain-free life and share my knowledge to guide them toward a healthier and more active lifestyle. This perspective and quest led me to discover StretchLab, and now I'm here as a flexologist to assist you in your journey towards a more flexible life. If you have any small activities that make you happy, like swimming, cycling,hiking, or any other form of activity, I'm eager to work with you.

Hi! My name is In-Mo! I graduated with honours from the Kinesiology program at University of Toronto. I have an ever-growing passion for health, fitness, and wellness. With a background playing various sports, primarily competitive rugby over a decade at all levels, and +5 years of Olympic Weightlifting focused training, I have a keen understanding of how the human body can adapt, grow and respond to the things we expose it to and the process it takes to reach goals along the way. Book a stretch with me and we can work on resolving any imbalances and ensuring your body can achieve optimal positions for all your needs, whether it be daily activity or sport performance. Health is wealth and I want to get you rich!

Hi I’m Molly! I have completed my 200hr yoga teacher training and 95hr children’s yoga teacher training! I am currently working on my Massage Therapy diploma and becoming a future RMT. I’m passionate about how stretching and connection with the Prana maya kosha (the breath body) improves our quality of life by feeling more relaxed, more flexible and more deeply connected to ourselves and the present moment. I am excited to guide clients into focusing on intentional stretching and breathing through the use of PNF techniques!”

I am a senior stretch therapist with over 2,000 hours of experience under my belt. Beyond being a flexologist, I am also in my final year of massage therapy school, on my path to becoming an RMT, a certified Thai yoga massage practitioner, and a psychology student. I am deeply passionate about the human body and the healing arts. Over the past few years, I've been helping people move more gracefully, free from pain. When you choose to work with me, you will naturally be guided to slow down and focus on your breath and body awareness.

As well as being a Flexologist here at StretchLab, I am currently a second year student of Massage Therapy at Kikkawa College.
