About Kelly

As a devotee of my own creativity in health and essence evolution, I am committed to tending the many layers of your human experience — the seen and unseen, the physical, energetic and essence level.

I believe healing is not about fixing what is broken, but about nourishing the wholeness and creativity that has always been within us.

I also understand — through my own lived experience — how disorienting it can be to move through pain, exhaustion, or overwhelm. The way forward can seem unclear.

My role is to offer you a new way of relating to your health and wellbeing, one rooted in possibility and regeneration; as a living, breathing relationship with life itself.

My intention is to serve as a catalyst for your evolution — as you reconnect with the truth of your essence, widen your sense of what it means to be alive, and walk forward with greater trust in your own becoming.

Rooted in curiousity, guided by nature.

Body whisperer.

Earth dancer.

Root-deep healer with a wink and a cauldron of clinical wisdom.

I don’t just read lab results—I read energy.
I’ve got one foot in the forest and the other in functional medicine.
My protocols come with soul. My science comes with sparkle.

I work with curious, courageous humans and wild beings of all genders who are ready to drop the “fixing” and step into deep listening.

I’m here to remind you: Your body isn’t broken. Your body is communicating.

You are becoming.

You are evolving.

I blend bloodwork with moon cycles.
I’ll talk about estrogen and ancestral grief in the same breath.
And I fully believe you can reclaim your health without sacrificing your joy, your weirdness, or your wild.

This work is sacred.

And it’s allowed to be fun.

We’ll laugh.
We’ll cry.
We might swear at your parasites.

You’ll leave feeling more like yourself than you have in years.

Clear. Soft. Powerful. Reconnected. Rooted.

With a focus on determining and treating the root cause of your symptoms along with profound attention on lifestyle patterns, we use the science of lab work along with the intuitive nature of your own body to inform the best course of treatment for each individual.

Whether you are experiencing fatigue, anxiety, weight gain, headaches, hormonal imbalance, depression, insomnia or digestive concerns, we can offer the support you need. 

Using Functional Medicine, Classical Five-Element Acupuncture, and Nature-based healing practices, I am passionate about assisting you in finding and keeping your unique balance, health and vitality.

Professional Training & Experience

I am a licensed Classical Five-Element Acupuncturist and Functional Medicine Practitioner based in Boulder, Colorado. My path has been shaped by rigorous training, deep listening and continuous study.

I bow with deep gratitude to all of my teachers, past and present — those known and unknown, seen and unseen — whose wisdom, patience, and presence have shaped the path beneath my feet.

A special honoring to my nature-based meditation teacher, whose wisdom continues to ripple through my work like a quiet river — unseen by most, but deeply felt.

I give thanks to Mother Earth, for all of nature’s kingdoms, for the teachings of the trees, the rocks, the elements, and the living spirit of life that continues to guide the way, always.

Classical Five-Element Acupuncture:

I earned my Master’s Degree in 2012 from the Institute of Taoist Education and Acupuncture (ITEA) in Louisville, CO, where I also had the honor of teaching for several years.

Classical Five Element Acupuncture is the foundation of my healing practice, a tradition that speaks to the interconnectedness of body, mind, and spirit. Rooted in ancient wisdom, this medicine acknowledges the body as a living, breathing embodiment of nature’s cycles and rhythms.

Each acupuncture point carries its own spirit, a portal to deep remembrance.

I perceive these points as gongs, vibrating with the resonance of ancestral primordial knowledge. Through contact with these sacred points, we speak the intricate language of the energy body.

Teaching:

As a former teacher at Naropa University and ITEA, I hold the view that true learning is not the filling of a vessel, but the tending of a living fire. Each person carries an inner source of wisdom and creativity, shaped by both memory and dream. I believe learning unfolds in the sacred space between what we remember and what we have the potential to create.

I prefer to teach in wild places, where the stones, rivers, winds, and unseen currents offer teachings older than words. In these living classrooms, the land itself becomes our guide, and knowledge arises through direct experience — through breath, sensation, wonder, and the quiet language of the body.

In my online programs, the same spirit is woven through: a steady invitation to turn inward, trust your own unfolding, and enter into sacred dialogue with the living world — both seen and unseen.

Functional Medicine:

I’ve had the privilege of studying functional medicine under the guidance of Dr. Kalish, a leader in the field of integrative health. His comprehensive approach blends clinical knowledge with a deep understanding of the body’s innate ability to heal.

Through my training, I’ve gained a profound respect for the interconnectedness of all systems within the body and the importance of addressing the root causes of illness.

I continue to study weekly with Dr. Kalish, deepening my understanding and staying on the cutting edge of functional medicine. This ongoing learning informs every aspect of my practice, where I combine scientific insights with a holistic approach to guide you toward optimal wellness.

  • “What I love most about Kelly is that she looks at everything, digging down under what is obvious to find what is at the root of the obvious.

    Kelly has guided me to be patient with the healing process to take a longer but more complete journey. Without Kelly’s guidance and advice, I would still be suffering and very unwell.  I am grateful for her every day.”

  • “To begin with, Kelly is both highly intelligent and intuitive. Using both, she has become a highly skilled acupuncturist as well an intuitive, empathic healer.

    In 5-Element Acupuncture, after the client’s energy has been balanced and fortified, the acupuncturist will access the spirit of the client. Kelly is able to quickly tune into a client’s energy and spirit.  I know that when I leave after having a treatment with her, I am energized, relaxed, focused, and balanced. Smiling too!”

  • “I first came to Kelly during a difficult transition time, and found her sessions to be important and transformative in my healing process.

    Each one helped me to feel more grounded, centered, and energetically invigorated. Kelly is a wonderful listener, very professional, incredibly intuitive, and a natural healer. Her treatments are the best I have ever received and I recommend her to any one in need of deep healing work.”

  • “Kelly is a breath of fresh air.

    She helped me find energy again with being a new mom, helped me discover how my body was not operating under optimal conditions, and got my body into balance again so that I now have way more energy, can be the type of mom and partner that I want to be, as well as can feel more confident going into trying for baby number 2. Now my husband is getting tests done with her, this wholistic type of health and healing is priceless. Kelly is very knowledgable, intuitive and passionate about her work; is very validating and kind, and has a wonderful sense of humor! She’s a pleasure to work with!”

  • “Kelly has been such a blessing in my life.

    I’ve tried everything in the book to heal my intense adrenal fatigue and hormonal imbalances and nothing really worked until I started receiving her acupuncture treatments. Since working with Kelly, my energy has improved, I feel much stronger and my menstrual cycle has regulated! I’ve seen other acupuncturists before and there’s something different about Kelly… her 5 Element Approach feels less invasive to my sensitive body compared to traditional acupuncture. But most importantly, she truly cares about your healing.”
