About Keli

I’m happy to meet patients where they are & help them get to where they want to be. I have a culinary & food service background (Johnson & Wales University, bachelor's degree) and have master's degree from the University of Arkansas in human environmental sciences with focus in human nutrition. I have worked in the food service industry at some capacity for over 20 years! Most recently at the sports nutrition center at the University, helping our athletes fuel properly for performance. I also have experience working in bariatrics & obesity management, in addition to gastroenterology. I thoroughly enjoy helping patients have a healthy relationship with food & truly believe “food is medicine”.

Approach to care

I like to meet you where you are with an open mind, hear your goals both short and long term, and have a more holistic approach to our journey getting to those goals, together. And I will be your biggest cheerleader along the way.

Your first session with Keli

Your first session with me will be a lot of learning on my end, asking several questions about where you are, where you want to be and what you might have tried in the past that hasn't yet gotten you there.
