Hi there! My name is Rebecca Smith, I go by Becca. Like you, I wear many hats in life. I am a board-certified emergency medicine physician with over 10 years' experience operating in that chaotic environment. I love teaching and have a lot of knowledge to impart.

I whole heartedly believe in the role that fitness and nutrition play in living a full and healthy life. I am a wife to a busy and aspirational man who is an amazing partner in life and an even better father. I am a mother to two toddler boys who keep me on my toes daily. I launched a new business. I love doing home DIY projects.
