Ashmore

Hi, I’m Jacky, Co-owner and Flexologist at StretchLab Ashmore and Southport! Originally from the UK, I’ve always been passionate about helping others move better and feel their best. Before making the move into human movement, I worked as an Equine Physiotherapist, helping horses recover from injury, improve performance, and stay at their peak. That experience gave me a deep understanding of how the body moves and adapts, and I love bringing that knowledge into my work with people. As Co-owner of StretchLab Ashmore and Southport, I’m passionate about creating a welcoming environment where every client feels supported, valued, and empowered to achieve their movement and wellness goals. Whether you're looking to improve flexibility, recover from training, or simply move through life with greater ease, I’m here to help you every step of the way. When I’m not in the studio, you’ll probably find me cheering on the Broncos or enjoying everything the Gold Coast lifestyle has to offer. I look forward to meeting you and helping you move and feel your best!

Hi, I’m Nikki – certified Flexologist, mat and reformer Pilates instructor, and proud co-owner of StretchLab Ashmore & Southport! My journey into the wellness world began after studying design and marketing at university. While I initially set my sights on a corporate career, I soon realised my true passion lay in helping others feel stronger, more mobile, and more connected to their bodies. That shift led me here, with a mission to create a welcoming, supportive space where every client feels seen, encouraged, and empowered. I love blending my Pilates background with the proven techniques of the StretchLab method to help clients move with more freedom and confidence. Whether you're working toward better mobility, faster recovery, or simply want to feel more at ease in your body, I’m here to support you on your movement journey. What can you expect from a stretch session with me? A personalised experience that’s equal parts uplifting, relaxing, and restorative. You might also catch me with a coffee in hand – and if you’ve got a top travel tip or a great true crime doco to share, I’m all ears!

Hi, I’m Zac, the Lead Flexologist for the Ashmore and Southport team! Working with clients since before we opened our Ashmore studio in early 2024 has been an incredibly rewarding experience. Watching our community grow and seeing so many clients improve their mobility, reduce pain, and build healthier movement habits has been one of the most fulfilling parts of my role. I’m passionate about helping people move better and feel their best. Every client has different goals, and I enjoy creating a personalised, supportive experience that helps them get the most out of every stretch session. My background includes Personal Training, Massage Therapy, construction, and disability support, which I continue to work in. Those experiences have given me a broad understanding of how different bodies move and the importance of adapting my approach to suit each individual. When I’m not in the studio, I’m always happy to chat about the latest footy results, and if you’re after a movie recommendation, I’ve probably got one for you!

Hey there, I'm Andrés! I'm a physiotherapist and personal trainer with a passion for movement, mobility, and flexibility! Having previously worked with competitive athletes as well as competing in CrossFit competitions myself, I'm always up for a good chat about the latest games. At StretchLab, I'm all about helping you live your best life by boosting your well-being and overall wellness. Let's team up and get you feeling fantastic!

Hi I’m Belle, I’m a qualified reformer Pilates instructor with a Health science diploma in nutrition. I have always had a large passion for everything, health, fitness, and wellness and absolutely love now being able to work in the industry. Pilates is obviously favoured by me, but I also love running and resistance training. Through out all of these I have learnt the importance of stretching and how it can not only improve your training, but also your every day physical function. I’m excited to be working at StretchLab, helping clients to achieve their personal goals and improve their quality of life. I am recently a new mum, so when I’m not at StretchLab I love spending time with my family at the beach.

Hi, I’m Kristina! Movement has always been a part of who I am. Growing up, I was constantly exploring different sports, and that love for physical activity naturally evolved into a passion for helping others move better and feel stronger. Today, I’m a yoga teacher and a personal trainer, and I bring that holistic approach to every stretch session. I believe that mobility is the foundation of wellness, and I love combining mindful movement with functional strength to support people in reaching their goals. My current passions are wakeboarding, snowboarding, and dancing, activities that challenge my body and fuel my spirit. Whether I’m carving through snow or flowing through a dance routine, I’m always chasing that feeling of freedom and connection. At StretchLab, I’m excited to help you unlock your potential, recover smarter, and move with more ease.

Hi, I’m Sunny, a Japanese Flexologist. I came to Australia to study for a Diploma of Clinical Pilates, expanding my understanding of movement and the human body ; which I have further developed through my experience as a massage therapist. Outside of work, I enjoy both active and quiet hobbies, from hiking and solo travel to pottery and embroidery. I truly believe in the power of movement to address many of the concerns people have with their bodies. Almost like magic, it can build strength and flexibility, reduce pain, and support a happier, healthier life. I’m really excited to meet you at StretchLab!

Hi There! I'm Charlotte, and I have just made the move to the Gold Coast from Wollongong, NSW! I come from a strong dance background, with a Cert IV in Dance and a Cert IV in Dance Teaching and Management. I also hold a Bachelor's degree in Exercise Science! When I’m not teaching dance, you’ll usually find me at the beach, café hopping, going for a walk or run, or at Pilates or the gym. I also love unwinding with a good book. I've always been obsessed with flexibility and loved keeping up with all the latest dance trends growing up. I'm so excited to be part of the StretchLab team and I can't wait to meet you, and help you move and feel your best!

Hello! My name is Zoe. I moved to the Gold Coast last year from Texas, yeehaw! 🤠 I’m currently studying my Master of Occupational Therapy, after completing my Bachelor’s in kinesiology and psychology. I grew up playing every sport I could get my hands on, which sparked my love for movement and wellbeing. I’m especially passionate about supporting people with chronic illnesses. I know firsthand how important physical activity is for maintaining health, but I also understand that high‑impact exercise isn’t always realistic. Stretching creates a safe, sustainable way to stay active, reduce pain and feel good in your body (that’s why I love what I do). I believe in a holistic approach to both mental and physical health. Everyone’s body is different, and everyone deserves a movement style that works for them. Outside the studio, you’ll usually find me studying at a local cafe or out exploring nature!

Hi, I’m Lottie — a newly qualified yoga teacher and Flexologist with a genuine passion for helping people move and feel better in their bodies. Originally from the UK, I’ve recently returned to the Gold Coast after travelling and working across Australia over the past few years. Coming back here feels like the perfect fit, especially with the lifestyle, sunshine, and strong connection to movement and wellbeing. I’ve always dealt with back pain, and more recently discovered I have C-type scoliosis. It’s given me a deeper awareness of my posture, movement patterns, and how closely the body and mind are connected. It’s also strengthened my interest in supportive movement that helps create space, ease, and balance in the body rather than pushing through discomfort. I started yoga as a mindfulness practice — to feel better in myself, create more balance, and learn how to better understand and regulate my emotions, and overall wellbeing. It quickly became something I felt deeply connected to and wanted to share with others. When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me either on the mat teaching or taking a yoga class, cooking something delicious, or exploring new places along the Gold Coast.

Hi I’m Mel and I’m excited to be a part of the StretchLab team. I have a background in PT and Strength and Conditioning and have full appreciation for what the body can do. Ive always be an active person but it’s not until a few years ago that I realised the type of training that was doing wasn’t sustainable if I wanted to continue to move well as I aged. So I began to add more recovery modalities to my lifestyle - yoga, sauna and stretching and my body is grateful for it, and that's where Stretchlab came in - assisted stretching to release tightness and to increase range of movement is such a great addition to everyone's regime. I'm super boring when I'm not working and I spend my “off-time” anywhere that has sunshine with a good book and drinking coffee. - that's my slice of heaven! I’m looking forward to meeting and stretching you all!

Hi! I’m Annita, originally from Barcelona, Spain, and I’ve called Australia home for the past 7 years. I’m a certified Therapeutic Yoga and Pilates instructor, currently completing my Personal Training qualification and studying a Master’s in Nutrition and Exercise for Women Movement has always been a big part of my life. From running and dancing to Pilates, yoga, and stretching, moving my body is how I feel my best. I love how stretching helps improve mobility, release tension, and create more freedom in the body. I’m passionate about helping others stay active, build healthy movement habits, and feel stronger and more confident in their bodies.” I truly believe consistency is where the magic happens, and I love seeing people progress, gain confidence, and reconnect with their bodies through movement. Outside of the studio, you’ll usually find me exploring nature, enjoying a good coffee, dancing salsa or merengue, getting lost in a good book, or finding new ways to stay active and spend time with my loved ones!

Hi, I’m Eddie! Originally from Spain, I’ve been living in Australia for almost three years and have always had a strong passion for health, movement and helping people feel their best. With over four years of experience as a Massage Therapist, along with a background in Personal Training, I’ve developed a strong understanding of how the body moves, recovers and responds to hands-on work. I enjoy working one-on-one with clients and tailoring each session to their individual needs and goals. For me, stretching is about more than flexibility. It’s about moving better, feeling better and keeping your body capable of doing the things you love. Outside of StretchLab, I practice what I preach! I love training at the gym, boxing, staying active and reading. I’m always looking to learn more about health, fitness and human performance.
