Meet Jake!

Jake is a NASM Certified Personal Trainer, 200-hour certified yoga instructor, certified assisted stretching facilitator, and lifelong martial artist who is passionate about helping people feel strong, capable, and at home in their bodies.

​

With a background in yoga, personal training, martial arts, and assisted stretching, Jake takes a well-rounded approach to movement, recovery, and physical well-being. His work centers on helping people move with greater ease, develop body awareness, and find new ways to care for themselves.

 

At Bare Necessities, Jake offers assisted stretching—a hands-on service in which a trained practitioner guides you through stretches to help improve flexibility, explore your range of motion, and ease feelings of muscular tightness. Rather than having to navigate every stretch yourself, you can relax while Jake helps guide your body through comfortable, supported movements tailored to your needs.

 

Assisted stretching can be a natural complement to Bare Necessities' other wellness experiences. Whether paired with a float session, where reduced sensory input creates space to unwind, or incorporated into a routine that includes the sauna or cold plunge, stretching offers an opportunity to reconnect with your body through gentle, intentional movement. Together, these experiences can be part of a broader self-care routine focused on relaxation, body awareness, and recovery.

 

Jake believes movement and recovery should be more than items on a to-do list. They should be opportunities to slow down, explore what your body needs, and leave feeling a little more connected to yourself.

 

Whether you're looking to improve flexibility, move more comfortably, or simply make more time for yourself, Jake aims to create a welcoming, supportive experience that meets you where you are.
