Through my Holistic coaching, which I have been practicing for 5 years, I work on the 3 aspects of mind, body and spirit - whereas for physical coaching my focus is directed at strength, balance and agility techniques.

  I have been a Yoga Instructor for the past 3 years, with qualifications in Hot Power Fusion and Yoga Sculpt Training, as well as being trained in Hatha Yoga at Om Shanti Om school in Rishikesh, India. Manual adjustments through Yoga has always been a strength & pleasure of mine; I enjoy growing through that aspect of the instruction.

  Chelsea

  Flexologist

  I have 15 years of professional dance experience under my belt; I have reached Grade 6 in Cecchetti Ballet and have the pleasure of being a certified Yoga & Dance Instructor. I have multiple Personal Training certifications from the US & Canada and have been training athletes for the past 6 years, mainly through corrective exercise and resistance training. In addition, I specialize in a recovery method called ELDOA, which decompresses the spine length and width wise. I love playing all sports, but my heart is mostly with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and in 2015 I became Middleweight Pan-American Champion. Helping people find potential in their bodies, and improving their relationship with it has always been a passion of mine. I love StretchLab because it allows me to work 1-on-1 with people, helping them improve the way their bodies move; facilitating, finding new freedom in their movement. Having people get up off my bench feeling relief of pain and better acquainted with their bodies makes this job so gratifying.
