About

Studio 13 by Mind-Body-Spirit Works is the vision of Dr. Stacia Kelly. Dr. Kelly has been working on her next rank in martial arts and has begun to participate with Everything Self Defense and the New Way Network/the 100. As such, she’s been working on the idea of moving out of the studio and into the community. The New Way Network has played a huge part in her development of a curriculum that she can take into the schools and local community centers.

Studio 13 teaches: yoga, meditation, martial arts, scenario-based self defense, nutrition, anti-bully programs, kindness programs, community service projects, and more….

I founded Mind-Body-Spirit Works, just outside of Washington DC, and focus my time on holistic health coaching and writing (books, blogs, guest blogs, articles…you name it). We help people decrease their pain and stress by showing them alternative methods to counter modern day illnesses and dis-ease.

I learned a long time ago that I can achieve anything I put my mind to. I love teaching others how to do the same.

About the Instructors

  • Stacia D. Kelly, PhD, MHt

Stacia D. Kelly

I hold a 1st degree black belt and have been focusing on my training for 2nd degree with 6th degree Coach Tom Callos and Everything Self Defense and the 100 Network. We’re taking it out of the dojo and into the community.

Now for the educational/certification stuff….because you just KNOW you’re dying to know about it…

As an aside, (if you’re STILL READING) I love languages, art, and other cultures. So, you can probably find me studying Swedish or Chinese lately, just because languages interest me.

While helping new clients, I’ve taken it ‘out of the dojo’ (which I mean out of the office as well) and am currently developing a Martial Arts/Fitness program for the House, a Leadership program for at risk youth in my home town and preparing to expand it into the schools of Prince William County. I am also a Court Appointed Special Advocate for Abused and Neglected Children (CASA) in Prince William County. I am also the newly appointed Programs Director with Fit & Healthy Schools, a non-profit dedicated to teaching health, wellness & now, self defense to our local children.

Nick Kelly

Nick Kelly is enamored by the benefits of exercise and nutrition. He is a former football, baseball and hockey player, and regularly engages in cycling in running in his fundraising efforts.  Nick changed his diet and exercise routine, because of his wife’s focus on bodybuilding and training, resulting in a drop of over 40 pounds. He’s always said he has a hard time keeping up with her, yet continues to do it and exceed her goals.

He is a certified team leader with Dr. Ray Strand’s Healthy for Life program, and a strong spokesman against the ongoing childhood obesity epidemic. He has taught teen and tween nutrition for local nonprofit organizations. He is an active participant on the USANA Social Media network, teaching others how to use online technologies to educate others in health and wellness, a member of The New Way Network/The 100 and a pupil of Master Instructor Tom Callos.
