Happy 40th birthday, sweet Natalie! YOU are the reason you have such a successful business. Right away from the day I met you, I knew I wanted to be friends with you because you were so positive, welcoming, and energetic. You make everyone feel special! I hope you feel extra special on your big day. -Melissa Jenkins
Happy Birthday! Thank you for always being there for all of your moms at all the stages of our lives. Thank you for getting me to enjoy working out; your energy and vibrant personality made me want to continue to show up which is a rarity when it comes to breaking a sweat. You gave me a reason to make time for me and to not feel guilty for it. Take this month to celebrate you the way you celebrate all of us! - Lindsey Brown
Happy 40th Natalie! I’m so grateful for you and all you do for RVA mamas! I can’t imagine transitioning into motherhood without Fit4Mom! Looking back 4.5 years ago, when we moved back to Richmond, I was a brand new mama who had no idea what I was doing and didn’t know many people with children in Richmond. I was so thankful to find you and start a new routine with stroller strides. You always had a smile on your face and was willing to lend a helping hand and for that I’ll forever be grateful! Hope you have the happiest birthday and can’t wait to see what your 40’s bring to you! - Windsor Lineback

Natalie (the birthday girl!) has created a village that has made an irreplaceable impact on my life. Since meeting Natalie and joining her village, I have made lifelong friends, have finally found a fitness program that works for me, and have made a true friend in her.

Happy 40th to a truly phenomenal woman! I feel incredibly blessed to have met you almost 5 years ago when we were both doing our first Body Back session! Little did I know that you would be taking over Fit4Mom and turning it into an amazingly successful business and creating an incredibly supportive and thriving community of women. Your passion and enthusiasm are infectious (though I hesitate to use that word these days ) and you have a special way of making whomever you’re talking to feel like the most important person in the room. You are such a genuine, kind and thoughtful friend and you deserve all the joys of life. I can’t wait to celebrate all of these milestone 2020 birthdays properly sometime in the (hopefully) near future. Until then, I hope you have the most fabulous birthday that quarantine has to offer! Love, - Erin Sorkin

Natalie, Happiest of birthdays! My hope for you is that your 40th year will bring joy and be your best yet. I can't thank you enough for putting a little faith into a short pump early morning body back class in 2019. Since then, you have pushed me mentally and physically in ways I never thought possible. I have made friendships and bonds with other moms that are like no other. I have been able to stay accountable and keep a routine that works for me and my family. You ask, You listen and do everything You can to support us throughout motherhood. Thank you for Fit4Mom and thank you for your friendship! Time to celebrate you! Cheers! - Meg Tunstall

Natalie you’re a rockstar! You’ve helped me through 2 pregnancies, one when I couldn’t even take the classes because of complications! You’re such a loyal friend and always there for us, not only Fit4mom stuff but also life in general! I’m always amazed by your motivation and energy for everything you do. It motivates me to be the best instructor, friend, and mom that I can because of the faith you seem to have in me (I honestly question this often. Haha!).
