About Kelly

As a lover of deep medicine, I am passionate about tending to all parts of ourselves as humans on this ever changing trajectory of life. I am devoted to personalized care and profound transformation. Although I believe that we are already whole and don’t need to be “fixed”, I know on a very personal level how impossible it can seem when you are in pain, exhaustion, and overwhelm. 

I am here to offer you a chance to look at your health and wellbeing from a new perspective. My intention is to be a catalyst for you to align with your deepest desires and reconnect to your innate wholeness. Together, we can expand your idea of what it means to feel healthy and bring you to new depths within.

Rooted in healing, 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 & Expertise

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

Functional Medicine:

I trained with The Kalish Institute and continue my advanced studies with Dr. Daniel Kalish, focusing on uncovering and treating the root causes of illness.

Classical Five-Element Acupuncture:

I earned my Master’s Degree from the Institute of Taoist Education and Acupuncture (ITEA) in Louisville, CO, where I now have the honor of being a faculty member.

Teaching:

I exclusively teach in nature these days, and as a former teacher at Naropa University and ITEA, I approach education with a body-centered perspective, helping students integrate knowledge into their lived experiences.

Licensing & Certification:

I am licensed in the state of Colorado and board-certified by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM).

  • “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.”
