  Flexologist

  “I’m a forever athlete with a bachelor’s degree in exercise science and a passion for helping others. Stretching is a great way to improve overall quality of life and it’s great getting to help individuals live and move more freely and cut down on the tension in the body through being a flexologist at StretchLab. I also work a second job in the designer fashion world. Outside of work, I enjoy working out, traveling, chillin’ with friends and my dog, and especially summers being outside by the water and boating.”
