About Kelli
Kelli is passionate about empowering you to live as your most confident, healed, energized, balanced self. She encourages clients health changes to stay rooted in self love and self care, above all. Her own personal journey has included managing PCOS and continuously discovering the balance between fitness, recovery, work and fun. She believes in the 80-20 rule, including regular sweet treats, adventures and days focused on abundance than restriction.
Approach to care
Kelli practice from a lens of functional nutrition, meaning taking a unique approach to each person and integrating mind, body and spirit. She has worked with functional providers and gained additional training through the Integrative and Functional Nutrition Academy. She encourages realistic lifestyle changes first. From a functional medicine standpoint, these are to rebalance the gut, stabilize blood sugar, replenish nutrient deficiencies and build muscle (the longevity organ). She teaches clients to better understand how food impacts their body and mind, far beyond weight.
Your first session with Kelli
In the first session, Kelli will learn more about your personal experiences and goals. Topics she may cover early on include habit stacking, habits vs goals, creating weekly & monthly rituals and the importance of macronutrients. Appointments are highly personalized to you.
