Founder of Stretchtogo | E-RYT 200 Yoga Instructor | Assisted Stretch Specialist | NASM & Yoga Alliance Approved Educator
For over a decade, I’ve been dedicated to helping people move, recover, and feel their absolute best. My journey started in yoga, but I quickly realized that many students struggled with flexibility and mobility—because they weren’t getting the recovery and lengthening movements they needed from yoga and That’s why I created Stretchtogo—a method that bridges the gap between yoga, assisted stretching, and recovery, providing a fully supported, structured approach that feels incredible and delivers real results.
I’ve had the opportunity to work with NFL Browns players, NBA Cavaliers, professional golfers, Miami Marlins athletes, Braxton Berrios, Jorge Masvidal, and Tyler Herro. Even Khloé Kardashian attended my classes. These experiences taught me that even pro athletes who have the top PTs on hand still love Stretchtogo!
What Makes Stretchtogo Different?
Unlike Stretch Zone, Stretch Lab, or traditional assisted stretching studios, Stretchtogo is built on a foundation of yoga, movement, and breathwork. It’s not just about pulling on muscles—it’s a carefully designed flow of assisted postures, PNF techniques, heat, breathwork, and relaxation methods that work together to enhance flexibility, mobility, and recovery.
Science shows relaxation while we lengthen matters. I originally designed my method on a yoga mat, ensuring proper alignment, spinal support, and decompression. For years, I was against table stretching because I saw too much risk for hyperextension and improper leverage. But after extensive development, I created a safe, structured table-based method that preserves the integrity of my mat-based system while allowing practitioners to work from either preferred by clients.
The Stretchtogo Certification
My passion isn’t just stretching—it’s teaching others how to master this method. I launched the Stretchtogo Certification Program to help yoga teachers, fitness professionals, and movement specialists integrate assisted stretching into their practice. Not only does it enhance their skill set, but it also provides a way to earn more without the burnout of teaching endless classes.
The Stretchtogo Certification is:
- Doctor-approved, client-tested, and designed for safety and effectiveness
- Structured like a yoga flow, guiding clients through warm-up, deep stretching, and relaxation
- NASM, AFAA, and Yoga Alliance-approved
I love empowering practitioners to build a career in assisted stretching, offering a service that’s in demand, deeply beneficial, and financially rewarding. Everyone loves assisted stretching—they just don’t know where the best place is to get it yet. That’s where Stretchtogo comes in.

Stretchtogo Practitioner Certification Program
Stretchtogo practitioners will be taught to perform the stretch routine on a yoga mat to make alignment more effective. The spine is more prone to curving on a soft surface, so a firmer surface may help align and straighten the neck and spine more efficiently.
The entire Stretchtogo routine is provided in video format so that you may refer to the videos at any time as you learn at your own pace. You will also be quizzed on reading material with information regarding the Musculoskeletal system and flexibility.
All candidates must pass quiz with an 80% passing grade and either record themselves performing the entire Stretchtogo routine and submit the video for review or perform the Stretchtogo routine via live video. Either method will be evaluated by a Stretchtogo professional and is required for final completion of Stretchtogo certification.
