Who We Are

Samantha has built Island Stretch & Strength as a place for people to connect the dots where injuries have left them feeling disconnected. She utilizes principles for stretching and improving the strength of the body with an individualized approach. With her background as a Physical Therapist Assistant, she integrates injury awareness with progressive overload principles to offer a well-rounded approach to coaching her clients through their fitness journey.

Outside of the studio, Sam enjoys exploring the North Shore with her young son, Hula Hooping on a beach somewhere or getting her hands dirty with some form of DIY. She is a believer that everyone needs some form of movement that they love and she strives daily to foster a community in which people feel supported, challenged and where they can be themselves.

“I want to have a place where people can just BE. Much of the work is in honoring the process and feeling like it is okay to meet our bodies where they are at today. Some days we can do more, and other days we can do less. But each day we honor our body we are strengthening that connection. ISS is here for the folks of Cape Ann to push their bodies and realize how capable they are.”
