Meet Melissa,

Founder of HomeStretch Active Living

An elderly woman with white hair, glasses, and a big smile, sitting on a sofa with her arm raised. A young woman with blonde hair in a bun, wearing a black jacket and shorts, is smiling and leaning towards her, holding her arm. They are indoors next to a large window with a view of green trees outside.

“I created HomeStretch three years ago in Vancouver, BC after seeing how many older adults needed more support to stay active and confident at home.

I began by teaching exercise classes and training clients in retirement homes and quickly realized the need for a kinesiology-led service. Kinesiology is not only personal training — it focuses on safe movement, proper form, and rehabilitation from long-standing injuries.

I started bringing on other kinesiologists who shared my passion and philosophy for working with seniors.

My mission is simple: helping older adults stay strong, independent, and confident in their own homes.”
