Wollongong

Hi there! I'm Daisy, originally from Canberra, but I followed my heart to the beautiful coastal city of Wollongong, drawn by my passion for the ocean, academic pursuits, and my love for football (soccer). I recently completed my Bachelor of Exercise Science at the University of Wollongong, where I developed a deep understanding of human movement, biomechanics, and exercise physiology. Throughout my studies, I gained valuable experience in sports training and coaching, working with athletes of various levels to improve their performance and prevent injuries. Football has always been a central part of my life. I currently play for South Coast Flame Football Club, where I continue to develop my skills and competitive edge. Before joining Flame, I spent two rewarding seasons with the Illawarra Stingrays, where I built strong connections within the local sporting community and refined my understanding of teamwork and athletic performance. My passion for health and fitness extends beyond my personal pursuits. I'm genuinely thrilled to be part of the StretchLab team, where I can apply my education and athletic experience to help others. There's something incredibly rewarding about guiding members through effective stretching techniques and watching them experience improved mobility and reduced discomfort

With over a decade in the fitness industry and a Certificate IV in Health & Fitness, I'm passionate about my role at StretchLab where I help people improve their mobility and feel better in their bodies. I love seeing clients experience the freedom that comes with properly stretched muscles and improved range of motion. My diverse background includes experience as a boxing coach at UBX Wollongong, working with clients of all fitness levels. I specialise in both helping elderly clients enhance their mobility and assisting young athletes with injury prevention, while also creating rehabilitation programs for those recovering from injuries. I'm deeply committed to the Illawarra community, finding true fulfilment in watching clients leave StretchLab feeling rejuvenated and moving better than when they arrived.

Hi, I'm Zach! I'm passionate about encouraging positive health and wellness for each individual in all aspects of their lives. I have a background in personal training & team sports and understand the benefits and importance of regular stretching. As one of the first Flexologists at StretchLab, I take immense pride in seeing our community grow. Nothing feels more rewarding then witnessing clients achieve mobility they never thought possible. The genuine smiles when someone moves more freely after a session fuel my dedication. I cherish the trust members place in me as they allow me to guide their bodies toward better movement. Being part of the pioneering team that established flexology as a respected wellness practice gives me a sense of purpose, especially when I see how many people are now feeling better and moving with greater ease in their daily lives. In my spare time, I keep fit with workout sessions and keep people entertained with my side gig DJing on weekends.

Hey! my name is Courtney! I am a professional dancer based in Wollongong and Sydney, with a Bachelor of Dance (Performance) from the Academy of Music and Performing Arts (AMPA), completed in 2022.

My aim is to use my knowledge to help clients improve flexibility, reduce tension, and enhance overall performance.   I have a deep appreciation for the importance of proper stretching and muscle care. Whether you're an athlete, dancer, or simply looking to improve your range of motion, I aim to continue learning and developing stretches that are tailored to client needs.

Hey! My name is Bodean, a dedicated team member at StretchLab and a personal trainer with a deep passion for serving the Illawarra community. I believe in creating positive change through fitness and wellbeing, helping locals of all ages achieve their health goals and discover their full potential. When I'm not helping others stretch and feel their best, you can find me hitting the gym four days a week, diving into the world of video games, enjoying some anime, or out spearfishing along our beautiful coastline. I'm especially proud to call the Illawarra home and regularly volunteer my fitness expertise at community events and local fundraisers. My goal is to make quality fitness guidance accessible to everyone in our region and build a healthier, stronger Illawarra community. Always looking for new adventures, ways to stay active, and opportunities to give back to the place I love!

Hi, my name is Olivia, I am a graduate in Exercise Science and currently studying a Master's of Exercise Physiology at the University of Sydney. Originally from Sydney, I moved to Wollongong to further my studies and pursue opportunities in sport and exercise science. With a sporting background in basketball, snowsports, and AFL, I understand the physical and mental demands of competitive sport. Playing high level sport myself I have been able to train and learn from some of the best coaches in their field, this experience has shaped my approach as a Strength and Conditioning Coach, where I work closely with athletes to enhance their performance, reduce the risk of injury, and support their return to play after injury. I have a strong passion for athletic performance, injury prevention, and rehabilitation and I am committed to using evidence-based practices to help individuals and teams reach their full potential.

Hi, I’m Natalie, a proud graduate of Exercise Science from the University of Wollongong. I believe that living a full, joyful life should never be held back by the limits of our bodies. That is why I chose this path because helping people has always been at the heart of who I am. As someone who loves staying active, spending time with loved ones, and making the most of every day, I understand how frustrating it can be when your body doesn’t feel like it’s on the same page. Often, it can’t clearly tell you what’s wrong – and that’s where I come in. My role is to bridge that gap – helping you tune into your body’s signals, understand what it’s trying to say, and work with it, not against it. Together, we’ll find the path that allows you to keep doing what you love, the way you want to do it. When I’m not working, you’ll find me enjoying all things sporty, relaxing with my dog, and spending quality time with family and friends. I’m always up for a great chat and here to guide you toward a space of relaxation, balance, and lasting wellbeing.
