How it started...
It was March 2020.
The COVID-19 pandemic had made its way to the United States and cities across the country—including mine—were beginning to shut down. People were scared. People felt disconnected. People craved community. And people wanted to move.
Enter some of my closest friends.
A group of girlfriends called and asked me to stretch them via Zoom.
I thought they were joking.
This same crew had spent years lovingly teasing me about my morning routine—a routine they had experienced firsthand during our travels together. A routine that, among other things, included stretching. So naturally I thought: Wait...how did we go from teasing to interest to an actual request?
The pandemic was truly revelatory.
What started as stretching sessions with a few close friends quickly became something more. Others began asking questions. More people expressed interest. And I sensed something deeper emerging.
People weren’t simply looking to stretch.
They wanted movement. They wanted connection. They wanted music. They wanted laughter. They wanted community. They wanted space.
So I did what I naturally do: I put on my engineering and business hats.
I gave myself two weeks to launch The Stretch Room®. As a recovering perfectionist, I knew I needed a deadline close enough that I wouldn't over-rotate on tiny details most people would never notice. My product development experience had already taught me an important lesson: start with something that is good enough and learn from there.
So on April 15, 2020—Tax Day, intentionally—I launched The Stretch Room® with my first group of paying clients.
And what started as Zoom stretching sessions became something much bigger.
Over time, I realized people weren't only benefiting from movement. They were responding to what happened around the movement: the pause, the reflection, the restoration, the joy, the connection, the permission to create space for themselves.
That evolution led to the creation of The Stretch Room® Reset Method—a framework designed to help individuals and organizations intentionally pause, reconnect, restore, and move forward with greater clarity and sustainability.
Today, The Stretch Room® Reset Method comes to life through guided restorative experiences, retreats, leadership and team activations, workshops, coaching, and experiences designed to support wellbeing, sustainable performance, and intentional renewal.
What began with a few girlfriends on Zoom ultimately became an invitation I now extend to others:
Create space for yourself.
I can't wait for you to experience it.
