Although born in California, Kelli has spent a majority of her adventure-filled life in Washington. Her husband and two teenage children have spent the last 16 years in Bellingham, while taking many trips to other countries to explore. Kelli was an Elementary School Teacher for 7 years before dedicating herself full-time to raising her children. During that time she has done everything from being a soccer coach to becoming a Yoga instructor.

I chose to be a chiropractor because I wanted to help people. After being in practice for 12 years, my idea of helping people has evolved. Initially, I wanted to help people recover from injury and get out of pain. After some time I realized that for many people, their bodies were in a constant cycle of pain and injury and helping the symptom was just a patch. I began to work under a more holistic premise, trying to help people break out of that cycle and to feel better overall. This is the idea of “wellness.” In our practice, this is achieved through a combination of chiropractic care, sessions in The Performance Lab, diet and lifestyle changes. My hope for my patients is that they can do the things that bring them happiness without any interference from physical limitations. I want them to “feel better and have more fun.”
