After receiving her bachelor's of Health and Sciences from the University of Rhode Island, Kelsey knew she wanted to lean into a field that focused on more of a "whole-body" and holistic healing. Her mother had always been one to choose natural remedies over prescriptions or drugstores, and this really shaped how she learned to take care of her body. Food, herbal remedies, movement - this is medicine. After her dad received a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis and Lyme's disease, he went down the rabbit hole of alternative medicine modalities. That is when Kelsey was first exposed to acupuncture. She interned that whole summer for an acupuncturist in their town, and quickly realized the spark she felt for this medicine, was passion! 

Kelsey received her a doctoral degree from Pacific College of Health and Sciences, and after completing her board exams, opened up her practice here in San Diego, California. The Healing Nest was created to better serve her community, to remind others that they too can heal through natural remedies and that their body holds the power to do this with proper lifestyle and energetic tweaks. Her goal was to focus on women's health and fertility - herself being an IVF baby, it felt full circle. Dr. Kelsey is accepting new clients, and treats a variety of ailments with her gentle touch and determination to help her clients become the best, healthiest versions of themselves.
