Dr. Kelli was born and raised right here in Santa Rosa, where she grew up on a horse ranch and played competitive soccer. She’s been seeing a chiropractor since childhood, which sparked an early interest in the connection between movement and the nervous system.

While earning her B.S. in Kinesiology from Sonoma State University, Dr. Kelli worked as a nanny and postpartum doula, supporting families through pregnancy, newborn care, and early childhood development. She loved helping families adjust to life with a new baby, but often wished she could do more, especially for moms during pregnancy and for kids facing emotional or developmental challenges.

Coming from a family of nurses, she’s always had a strong interest in healthcare. During her undergraduate studies, she was introduced to functional neurology and the science behind chiropractic care. It was a turning point that combined her passion for the brain and body with her desire to support growing families.

Dr. Kelli went on to earn her Doctor of Chiropractic from Los Angeles College of Chiropractic and is now back in her hometown, offering care to the Santa Rosa community. She specializes in pediatric, perinatal, and family chiropractic.
