I started Fredericksburg Fitness Studio in 2008 after graduating from UMW with a degree in Biology and a lifelong passion for health and fitness. In 2020, I earned my Master’s in Nutrition and am now a board-certified registered dietitian.

My favorite form of exercise is Apparatix Pilates, and my husband Jeff Smith and I are proud to be comprehensive master-level Pilates instructors. I love creating a holistic wellness space where people of all ages, sizes, and abilities feel safe, supported, and empowered on their health journey. Movement, whole foods, good sleep, and daily laughter — that’s my mantra. Nothing fulfills me more than living out our mission to educate, empower, and encourage our clients to feel amazing in their bodies and in their lives.

Fun facts: I’m four years into a black belt in Muay Thai kickboxing, I love scuba diving, and in February 2023, I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro!
