I’ve been seeing Nakia at Stretch Theory for three years now, and the difference in my body is incredible. His knowledge, skill, and precision are on another level — he has an amazing ability to find exactly what needs attention and release it. My posture, flexibility, and overall comfort have completely transformed since working with him. Every session feels tailored just for me, and I always leave feeling lighter, looser, and stronger. Nakia is truly a master of his craft — I can’t recommend him and Stretch Theory highly enough!

Where do I even start? I called and asked about doing a private pilates class for myself and a coworker and from my initial conversation with Nakia, I knew I had made the right call. Nakia gave me pricing and told me he could accommodate my schedule. I found the studio easily and upon walking in, there are plants, candles, a beautiful studio that feels like home. Nakia clearly cares about his clients. During the class itself, he was hands on and patient. He corrected my form when needed and I truly feel like I got a phenomenal workout because of him! One of the best pilates I’ve ever taken and I will be back when I am in the area again.

I had a great Pilates class with Nakia. Very professional and intuitive instructor. This studio also offers myofacial release therapy and I saw the space used for that. The studio is bright, modern, and clean. The music is at the perfect volume level, and is background music. This studio is focused on health and feeling good in your body.
Super easy parking with multiple parking lots available. There is a water dispenser available.

I absolutely love coming to stretch theory, there’s a huge variety of everything your body needs to feel strengthened, improve flexibility, and overall mobility. Nakia is extremely knowledgeable in his focus of Pilates. I come every week and love it so much!!!

Brandé’s teaching style is classically mixed with intentional strengthening. From cues that activate the core to engaging muscles you didn’t even realize you had. Every move builds a powerful sweat while keeping you connected to your body. Her class is the perfect blend of stretch and strength, leaving you feeling both lengthened and strong.

Now, Nakia may own the studio and call himself a Pilates instructor, but it shows that he is neither prepared nor qualified to teach at a professional level. His knowledge of Pilates is surface-level at best, and his lack of true practice undermines the credibility of the classes. Add to that an environment clouded by unprofessionalism, arrogance and questionable business practices? It became clear this is not a studio built on integrity. I would caution anyone expecting lasting value here.

I have taken Pilates from Brande for two years and she has done wonders for my total health. From the daily workouts, the juicing, and her honey, I was able to lose 60lbs. I have followed her to each studio because she is just that good. I’d hoped this last move would be the location for a while, but life has her going in another direction.
In comes Nakia, the owner and new “Pilates” instructor. Who is good at doing Myofascial Massages, so I've heard but he needs to study and practice more at being a Pilates instructor. Also, the way he operates his studio with the lack of professionalism, condescending attitude, lack of empathy, jealousy, and bad business practices, I would like to see if he celebrates a two year anniversary.

Always a great experience. The structure of this class allows me to properly learn the movements and be intentional with my body. I’ve added this to my weekly workout routine!

A beautiful, clean and well-lighted place. The music is always on point. Most importantly, Nakia is doing an excellent job helping me address a raft of physical problems resulting from my desk-bound life and a number of small injuries accumulated in my 50+ years.

I came in after my foot and ankle problem led three different friends to ask why I was limping, when I didn’t realize I was. I’ve had five sessions and will have #6 next week. Nakia has done a combination of myofascial release and teaching me exercises to address my pains and mobility issues.

As a middle-aged man, my primary life challenge now is ensuring I’m able to stay mobile and active as long as possible and I’m thankful for Nakia’s help, suggestions, and guidance.

Stretch Theory is life-changing! 🌟 Nakia and the team are truly gifted. I came in with severe back pain, anxiety, and depression — and today I walk out feeling rejuvenated, healthy, and whole 🙌🏽. The energy, the vibe, and the healing conversations are unmatched. Nakia’s touch isn’t just physical — it’s therapeutic for the mind and soul too 🧠❤️‍🩹.

If you’re serious about your health, this is the place. But remember, they can’t help you if you don’t show up. Show up for YOU first, and let them do the rest 💪🏽✨

This place has helped me stay aligned with my purpose and continue being the world changer I am. Thank you, Stretch Theory! You’ve earned this 5-star review and more ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Brandé is a phenomenal Pilates instructor! She does an excellent job at explaining the various moments and the importance of the mind-body connection. I feel numerous areas of my body being targeted that I don't hit in more traditional workouts. My chiropractor stated that my neck was significantly less tight after only 4 visits of Pilates!
Also, don't sleep on her juices, they're absolutely delicious and nutritious! 😊

I'm so glad I found Nakia! I was looking for a myofascial release person and he's that and so much more. I've been getting 90 min of deep tissue from a friend for many years and she's great but her schedule changed. My hips became painful to lay on my side to sleep, so I wanted myofascial release. I am switching all of my massage to Nakia! His space gorgeous ( i love the clown fish) and very organized and clean. His calm demeanor and great music brings it all together. I've already given his number to the massage people in my life, because, I asked a lot of people for references without getting an answer. Nakia is the answer!

I LOVE STRETCH THEORY! Brande and Nikia have done so much to support my household's health journey. I've been practicing Pilates with Brande for almost 2 years and have never felt this strong and balanced. I lost 20lbs and regained my body after pregnancy. My diastasis recti has healed and mobility drastically improved. Brande knows exactly what I need to challenge myself. She is deeply committed to her students. She even makes fresh cold-pressed juice to support our health journey!

Nikia has transformed my husband's mobility with his therapeutic massages. He was in so much pain from traveling and sitting at a desk for 10 hours a day. By his second session, he was moving much better and his pain was gone. I recently went to Nikia because I was experiencing anxiety, and I don't know exactly what he did, but when I stood up from his table, the tightness in my chest was gone!

Check them out.

Stretch Theory is AMAZING. I have been going for months and my progress in recovery has accelerated at a rate far better than regular PT, chiropractics, and eStem.

The attention to detail, care and techniques will have you on the path to recovery or just good as part of a routine. Nakia you are an amazing practitioner!!

I had to hook up your business with this review because people have a right to know about your work! I just looked up myofascial massage and found this business literally one block from my home. For the past two weeks my body has been inflamed and I have been in severe pain, on pain medication and muscle relaxers. Icing my back every day and even wearing a back brace. barely functional to be honest. After just a 40 minute appointment I was able to bring myself back into child’s pose without any pain which is crazy to me. The mind had the expectation of pain since it had known that for so long, so now I’m just recalibrating to this new feeling and I will definitely be making Nakia a part of my regular self-care team. Thank you so much!

I booked a session at Stretch Theory after a bad experience at a chiropractor. I went in to stretch out sore and stiff muscles in my hip, shoulder, and neck. This was my first time getting myofascial work done on my muscles. The experience was life changing for me. I am a former high school and college athlete, and Nakia worked deep on muscles that haven't been reached in over 20 years. My first session was uncomfortable because of the lactid acid built up over time, but I knew this is what my body needed. After my session, my body felt lighter and I moved easier. I immediately booked a package because I knew that I needed more sessions to continue working out the stiffness deep in my muscles. Nakia is extremely talented in this type of body work. His studio is calming and pleasant. I only wished that I did this type of therapy earlier during the years I was running track and playing tennis. I could have saved myself from enduring so many injuries.

I’ve neglected stretching and caring for my range of motion and mobility for far too long. My first session at Stretch Theory left me speechless. I walked in with a list of aches and pains. Nakia carefully attended to those areas and gave me much needed relief. I’d highly recommend checking out Stretch Theory for yourself, especially if you’re active and workout on a regular basis. Don’t be shy: Buy that 4-pack and start your journey towards healthy ligaments, muscles, and mobility!

I found Nakia through a close friend and I’m so glad I went to him. What can I say. He’s amazing. He’s been helping me out so much with keeping my body in excellent condition. I have a really physical job so coming to him makes me feel like new. I highly recommend him as a massage therapist.

I'd been wanting to get work done by Nakia for some time. My friends had gone to see him, my mom, people visiting from out of town etc...but it took me over a year to finally go in and see him. And boy oh boy was I glad I did. Nakia is great! He makes you feel very comfortable while he works his magic. He's intuitive when it comes to what your body needs and he zeros in. I felt so great after our session and I can't wait to go back very soon. Everyone should go see him!

I’ve been working with Nakia for a while now and each session has been amazing! His extensive experience coupled with his knowledge of the body truly shows in his work. I come out better and recovered after each stretch because he knows how to work with athletes and understands the physical strain on the body. His treatments aims to recover, increase mobility and strengthen the body. Always a pleasurable experience!!
