Jessica Watkins joins Connexus Clinic as the Director of Fitness and Nutrition, bringing with her a wealth of experience and expertise in the wellness industry. With a professional career spanning nearly two decades, Jessica has been a dedicated fitness coach, personal trainer, and nutritionist since 2005.

Jessica’s academic background is equally impressive, holding a Master’s degree in Nutrition from New York University. This advanced education, combined with her certification as a personal trainer, provides her with a solid foundation in both the theoretical and practical aspects of health and wellness.

As the owner of Fit Fairhope, a thriving gym in Fairhope, Alabama, Jessica has demonstrated her entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to fostering a culture of health in her community. This hands-on experience in managing a fitness facility adds a valuable dimension to her role at Connexus Clinic.

Jessica’s passion for fitness is deeply rooted in her personal journey. Growing up, she was heavily involved in sports, particularly gymnastics and cheerleading, which earned her a college scholarship. However, it was the challenges she faced in maintaining her health after graduating and entering the workforce that truly shaped her career path. Through perseverance and dedication, she not only overcame her own struggles but also found her calling in helping others achieve their wellness goals.

Her approach to fitness and nutrition is holistic and empathetic, drawing from her own experiences to motivate and encourage others. Jessica excels at helping clients surpass their struggles, conquer their goals, and become the best versions of themselves.

Outside of her professional life, Jessica is a devoted mother of three, residing in Alabama. She balances her career with quality family time, often enjoying local beaches and embarking on day adventures with her children. In her downtime, Jessica finds relaxation in assembling jigsaw puzzles and indulges in her guilty pleasures: reality TV and Thai Iced Tea.

Jessica is available to Connexus Clients for nutrition and exercise consultations.
