About Laura
Your partner in lasting wellness
I'm Laura Reiman — a nutritionist, certified Pilates teacher, and health coach with a Master's degree in Nutrition Sciences. For over 15 years, I've helped people in Old Town Alexandria and beyond feel genuinely good in their bodies. My specialty is designing and modifying programs to meet people where they are at. No one program fits all, and finding the right path is the key to success.After dealing with some severe horse-related injuries in my own body and having to meet with endless doctors, surgeons, physical therapists, osteopaths, etc., I learned just how important it is to have someone in your corner cheerleading for you as you advocate for yourself in the face of this scary healthcare system. It's my goal to help support others as they face life's challenges
Based in
"I got into this work because I was tired of seeing people punish themselves in the name of health."
After earning my Master's degree in Health Sciences, I spent years working in clinical and community wellness settings — and I kept seeing the same pattern. People would start strong, follow a rigid plan, burn out, and feel like failures. The problem wasn't them. It was the approach.
I became a certified Pilates instructor because I fell in love with how it builds strength from the inside out — no impact, no ego, just deep, intelligent movement. I added health coaching and nutrition counseling because movement alone isn't the whole picture. Sleep, stress, food, mindset — it all connects.
Today, I work with clients one-on-one in my Old Town Alexandria studio and via Zoom with people all over the world. My approach is always the same: meet you where you are, figure out what actually works for your life, and build from there. Small changes. Real support. No judgment.

My Philosophy
Wellness that works for your real life
Whole-person health
Your body, mind, and lifestyle are all connected. I look at the full picture — not just what you eat or how you move, but how you sleep, manage stress, and feel day to day.
Sustainable over perfect
A plan you can stick to for life beats a perfect plan you abandon in three weeks. We build habits that fit your schedule, your preferences, and your energy.
Compassion, always
There is no judgment here. Whatever your history with food, fitness, or your body — you are welcome exactly as you are. We start from where you are, not where you think you should be.
